NEUROSIS vs. NecronomiCon in Providence

Fresh off their recent two-pronged European tour, NEUROSIS will congregate at a one-off performance in Providence, Rhode Island this Saturday, August 24th.

This special ceremony has been arranged as part of the city-wide NecronomiCon — a four-day convention exploring the works of H.P. Lovecraft and other past and present writers as an exploration of the intersection of science and art that lays at the foundation of the “Cthulhu Mythos” genre. NEUROSIS will take the stage at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel to perform a massive set as part of the festivities, with support from avant/crushing solo act LUSTMORD. The early show open with the 45-minute silent film, “The Call of Cthulhu,” about the Strand Theater — now Lupo’s — and how it was Lovecraft’s favorite movie theater to attend.

NEUROSIS at NecronomiCon:
8/24/2013 Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel – Providence, RI w/ Lustmord [5pm doors]


Since 1985 NEUROSIS surpassed the boundaries of any genre, never ceasing to mutate and progress their songwriting and sonic delivery, and never failing to mesmerize audiences both in the studio and onstage. In 2012 the unit released their monumental tenth studio album, Honor Found In Decay, which went on to receive countless plaudits from the press on a global scale, and was positioned highly in end of year polls, as always reaffirming why NEUROSIS remains one of the most significant heavy acts in existence.

Mark D

This week, the first single from ex-Melvins/Clown Alley guitarist MARK DEUTROM's third solo album, Brief Sensuality and Western Violence, has been released preceding the LP's release. Rolling with nearly five and a half minutes of fuzz-laden wandering riffs, the vividly visual lyrics in "Sky Full Of Witches" may at first instigate acid-trip Halloween tales, yet the true story being told here is one much more ominous and fully grounded in our present day of technological over-expansion.

Perhaps it would be best to let DEUTROM elaborate on this himself. "In 2012 the so called FAA Modernization and Reform act included a provision for fully integrating unmanned aircraft into the US National Airspace by 2015" he reports. "The FAA expects that by 2020 there will be 30,000 licensed drones in the air. This brought to my mind images of all the medieval engravings of witches flying through the sky, and their total command of the space. Nothing else is ever in the sky with them, except for other witches. The medieval context is not lost on me, with some of the other values of that time being enthusiastically embraced at the present. Sky Full of Witches is about being conscious of the encroaching all-seeing eye, and perhaps a fleeting nostalgia for the absence of a genuine superstition that only appears in the darkest of times."

The single for "Sky Full Of Witches" is now available via all major digital outlets including iTunes, CD Baby and more. Brief Sensuality and Western Violence will be released independently on September 16th, with more details and music to be released shortly. Engineered at Ohm Recording Facility in Austin, recorded by Chico Jones and mixed by Chad Bamford, the nearly hour-long Brief Sensuality and Western Violence voyages through both ominous and peaceful territories though a variety of vocal approaches and instrumentation, bleeding together into nearly an hour of guitarist, composer, songwriter, singer and producer MARK DEUTROM's most organic and unreserved material to date.
