Neurosis - Locust Star



Neurosis is an experimental metal band, based in Oakland, California. Their unique sound draws from influences ranging from hardcore punk and doom metal to dark ambient and industrial music as well as incorporating elements of indie and folk music. The band is highly regarded as the primary pioneer of its genre, sometimes referred to as post-metal. Critic Brian Russ has described them as "atmospheric hardcore". Yesterday did Neurosis once again enter the stage at Debaser in Stockholm Sweden.
It was a very hot evening as the air condition had to be off, a lot of water and beer was served at a almost sold out venue.
But the guys did a hell of a show. Mystical doom in the best outfit. A really dark show with lots of metal feelings in a down tempo psychedelic trance.
The opening act Amenra from Belgium did a very good job with their hardcore punk, down-tempo metal tinge. A nice bunch of guys.
Even got a nice t-shirt from the gig and a decent picture with the guys doing sound check.
