Title: Powerful God-like Metal
Product review: Neurosis' unconventional(for its time) integration of smaples and keyboards into a basic band setup transformed 'Souls at Zero's standard three-chord rage into a post-hardcore apocalypse, but it was 'Enemy of the Sun' that truly scorched the earth. Baleful opener 'Lost' threatened to buckle under its own devastating weight, 'Raze the Stray' was like a giant star collapsing, the three-pronged vocal attack of Dave Edwardson, Scott Kelly and Steve Von Till screaming and bellowing as though their children had just been slaughtered in front of them. Yet for every blast of cauterising noise, there were passages of eerie quiet, and increased dexterity with samples yielded organic rather than incidental effects and were employed for maximum impact. It was their finest, most consumed moment-one that has yet to be matched, even by themselves.
