NEUROSIS - a sun that never sets
Chinese Version:
神经官能症——一颗永不落山的太阳
文/NEUROSIS

最好的音乐总该被看到,正如总被听到一样。
群星的秘密隐藏在灰芒当中
放Neurosis就像聆听壮丽的光影,
囊括所有的对比度。
当灰芒逝去,群星将不再闪耀
有时,黑暗轰鸣着达到一个纯粹、无情的创痛点,其它时刻光明却那么纯正密实,由内至外闪亮。
应允我纯正的心灵
但好比光明,好比地球,好比太阳,也好比所有精彩的音乐从Black Sabbath与Black Flag到Pink Floyd与瓦格纳古典派的富丽堂皇。
Neurosis
永远
不会
撒谎。
你尝过泥土的味道吗
自从1985年冬季他们在加利福尼亚奥克兰组建,再没有乐团曾捕捉到像Neurosis那样令人无法忘怀的冷硬体验产生的辛辣以及令人敬畏的自然之美。历经一条穿越自修和创痛的十数年终极胜利征程,他们通过不屈的召唤性音乐与视觉展示明悉了那些冲突的,无法比拟的情感体验以及幻象。
坠落下的重矿
Neurosis从未处于一个从容的境况;Steve Von Till(吉它/人声/打击乐器),Scott Kelly(吉它/人声/打击乐器),Noah Landis(键盘/采样/磁带),Pete Inc.(视觉图像),Jason Roeder(鼓/打击乐器)和Dave Edwardson(贝司/人声)更常遇到而绝非没有的,是孤独,只有他们世界范围游牧态的地下追随者才释放出真正发自内心的理解与赞许。
外形在延伸
其他人也尽了全力(以庞大的跨国工作室形式)但最终,从谷壳剥出的麦粒造成了需要而观念并未得到理解。Neurosis会告诉你……更小,更强和完整,比更大,懦弱和破碎要好,原因仅仅是钱。
火把自黑色海水中升起被见
Alternative Tentacles是最早认识到Neurosis早期未驯的表现方式的工作室,并且在1991年签下了他们。在那儿,他们发表了《零位灵魂》(Souls At Zero)——一张流淌着这个群体偶然遇到的阴影微光的专辑。而《太阳的敌人》(Enemy Of The Sun)延续了发酵的狂怒,并且用提供稍息的浮动声学片段产生的射线加以弥散。
Neurosis只于天黑后在现场出演,感受同太阳战斗时如此的微不足道。他们在两小时内的演出充分表现出纯正的净化陶冶,从听觉火网到他们身后精挑细选的图像。
一种摆脱循环
Neurosis历经的挑战足可将任何其他人破为两半,然而在你的道路明显有那样的挑战时,甚至最为险恶的苦难都能在你自己选择的表现方式中找到赎偿之际,此后的结果只会是爆炸性的。
风饲喂之火焰不可见
《血中穿银》(Through Silver In Blood)是伤害,愤怒,滚雷,太阳,善良,恶劣,生命,死亡……这颗行星在它全部荣耀和龌龊中间。神经末稍悬挂出外壳。它们的恐惧在这张专辑的帮助下最终得以直面,乃至征服。因此Neurosis被邀请在高度成功的ozzfest外表下把他们的理念放入一场更大的狂欢。这就是Neurosis在白日的首次出演,他们已经习得和太阳同处一室以及和平共存。
风饲喂的火焰之释放
《蒙辉时刻》(Times Of Grace)在这个湾区五个组的存在中标出了一个点,那是控制和粘合的花朵已然包围了Neurosis热情四溢的不羁情感。吐露那种情绪勇气,使用了一系列折衷的乐器,包括风笛,号角和萦萦不绝的弦乐。“Under The Surface”攒动着分支的周期性振裂,而同时“Belief”,“The Doorway”和标题曲是穿越绿地以及辉煌怒火的旅程。
释放坠落者
未曾着意尝试,Neurosis一贯地拥有这两个词
史诗 音乐
他们的那块力量土地上,每个人,从最高法院最呆板的法官,到最阴暗小巷中最穷困的流浪汉,都有联系。
承认那些和你自己的联系并不总是十分容易,但Neurosis已经倾向于使自己太过长远而不是为其他准备好造成那信仰飞跃的人担心。
我们的碑石依旧挺立
然而无疑,现在,你已经很明智地知道了恰当的自修的价值。
他们的音乐是生命明白的现实的终极并置。
Neurosis《一颗永不落山的太阳》是转折的标志

NEUROSIS - a sun that never sets
by NEUROSIS
the best music should always be seen as well as heard
the secrets of the stars hide within the gray...
put on Neurosis and it's like listening to glorious shades of light, in all their contrasting degrees.
this gray will fade, so will the stars cease to shine...
sometimes the darkness is deafening to the point of sheer, relentless trauma, whereas at other's the light is so pure and solid it illuminates from the inside out.
grant me the pure heart...
but like the light, like the earth, like the sun and like all the great music from black sabbath and black flag to early pink floyd and the classical grandeur of wagner.
Neurosis
never
ever
lie.
have you ever tasted the soil?
since their formation in oakland, california during the winter of 1985, no band has captured the unforgettably pungent tastes of cold, hard experience and awesome, natural beauty like Neurosis. they embarked upon an ultimately triumphant decade-plus journey through self-education, realizing conflicting, disparate emotional experiences and visions through uncompromising, evocative music and visual displays.
heavy mining under the fall...
it's never been an easy situation for Neurosis. Steve Von Till (guitar/vocals/percussion), Scott Kelly (guitar/vocals/percussion), Dave Edwardson (bass/vocals), Noah Landis (keyboards/samples/tapes), Jason Roeder (drums/percussion) have, more often than not, dealt with things alone with only their nomadic subterranean followers worldwide offering true heartfelt understanding and appreciation.
figures forming stretching on...
others have tried to do their best (in the form of giant multi-national labels) but in the end, the wheat separated from the chafe as demands were made and ideals not understood. Neurosis will tell you, it's better to be smaller, stronger and whole than to be bigger, fractured and weak.
a torch in a black sea seen arising...
"Pain Of Mind" and "The Word As Law" were early releases which stated Neurosis' arrival, and recognizing those early, feral expressions, alternative tentacles signed them in 1991. there they released "Souls At Zero", an album which shed glimpses of the shadows the group were encountering, and "Enemy Of The Sun" continued the fermenting rage diffused increasingly by rays of floating acoustic pieces to offer respite.
Neurosis would only ever play live after dark, feeling too insignificant to battle with the sun. their shows were pure catharsis, from the aural barrage to the carefully selected imagery which was projected behind them during two-hour performances.
freeing the circles...
Neurosis went through challenges that would have broken everyone else in two, but when your path is exactly that challenge, when the ugliest adversities can find redemption in your own chosen form of expression, then the results will only ever be explosive.
wind feeds fire unseen...
"Through Silver In Blood" was hurt, anger, thunder, sun, good, bad, life, death, this planet in all it's glory and disgust. the nerve endings hung out of the packaging, and their fears had finally been faced and vanquished with the help of this album. so Neurosis were invited to take their thoughts to a bigger carnival in the shape of the highly successful ozzfest. it was the first time Neurosis had ever played during the day, they'd learned to be in the same room as the sun and co-exist peacefully.
wind feeds fire release...
"Times Of Grace" marked a point in Neurosis' existence where control and cohesion blossomed to encompass the passionate, raw emotions of Neurosis. and that emotional strength is voiced using an eclectic range of instruments including bagpipes, horns and immotive strings. "Under The Surface" ripples with divergent migraine tensions, while "Belief", "The Doorway" and the title track are journeys through green fields and brilliant anger.
unleash the fallen...
without ever consciously trying, Neurosis have consistently embraced the words
epic music
theirs is a force field which everyone, from the stiffest judge in the highest law courts, to the poorest tramp in the darkest alleyway, has connections with.
it's not always easy to admit those connections to yourself, but Neurosis have been making them for too long to worry about who else is prepared to make that leap of faith.
our stones still stand...
but surely, by now, you're wise enough to know the value of a proper self-education,
their music is the ultimate juxtapose of life's plain realities. Neurosis' "A Sun That Never Sets" marks the
turning
point
of
your
life's
understanding...
bringer, it is time
