The reactivated post-metal greats will return to the stage this weekend for a set at the 'Fire In the Mountains' festival.
Neurosis have teamed up with the Firekeeper Alliance to produce a short-film to raise suicide awareness for the Native American community.
On the morning of March 20th, 2026, Neurosis fans woke up to something many had stopped expecting: a resurrection. The Oakland post-metal titans had lain quietly dormant since their 2019 tour, only briefly emerging in 2022 to announce they had parted ways with co-founder Scott Kelly over his abusive behavior toward his family. Was the band, which originally formed in 1985, calling it quits? Would there ever be more Neurosis music? The remaining members — guitarist-vocalist Steve Von Till, bassist Dave Edwardson, drummer Jason Roeder and keyboardist Noah Landis — weren’t saying. For more than three decades, Neurosis had been one of heavy music’s elemental forces: a band that dragged hardcore punk, sludge, doom, industrial noise, ritual percussion and apocalyptic atmosphere into a realm of their own. Their shadow stretches across generations of underground metal and heavy music, from Slipknot, Mastodon and Converge to Chelsea Wolfe, Amenra and beyond — artists chasing something more primal, expansive and spiritually punishing than riffs alone. And then, like a bolt from the blue, came the spring equinox announcement: Neurosis had been reborn. Sumac leader and former ISIS member Aaron Turner had joined on vocals and guitar, and the new lineup would play its first gig in July as the headliner of Fire in the Mountains 2026, a four-day music and Indigenous culture festival at Red Eagle Campground in East Glacier, Montana. Oh yeah — there was also a new Neurosis album, which surprise-dropped that same morning. An Undying Love for a Burning World, the band’s first release since 2016’s Fires Within Fires, is as heavy, brutal and cerebral as anything Neurosis have ever unleashed, but it also lands like a necessary blast of catharsis amid the global chaos of 2026. “I would say this music is necessary at any time,” Turner tells Revolver. “Certainly, there’s an increased sense of dread and anxiety right now, so this record is helpful in that regard, but it’s also in keeping with the precedent that Neurosis has set from the very beginning.” “We’ve been basically writing one song this whole time,” adds Von Till. “It takes different subtle shifts, but it’s spiraling out from — and spiraling toward, simultaneously — the same center of a deep sorrow for a deep wound that is thousands of years old: our lack of connection, our disconnect from being what we’re supposed to be, human beings living in right relation with our own minds, each other and the planet. Because of technology and social media, it all just feels overwhelmingly apocalyptic. But if you ask some of our Native American friends they’ll be like, ‘Oh, you’re just figuring this out? We’ve been living this for hundreds of years!’” Scott Evans That idea of right relation also shapes Neurosis’ return to the stage. Fire in the Mountains is presented by the Firekeeper Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing suicide in Indigenous communities; Von Till serves on the organization’s board. The band’s first show of this new era won’t be a standard comeback gig, but something with deeper purpose: on the sacred lands of the Blackfeet Nation, inside a festival built around music, ceremony and Indigenous cultural exchange. In the interview that follows, Von Till and Turner talk about the secrecy behind Neurosis’ new album, Turner’s addition to the lineup, how Fire in the Mountains got the band off their asses and into the recording studio, and what it means to, as Von Till puts it, “reclaim our life’s work.” Scott Evans Steve, how did you guys decide that Aaron was the right addition for Neurosis?Steve Von Till In late 2023, the four of us had gotten together just because it had been too long since we’d made music together, and we missed each other. It was instantly productive and instantly clear that we wanted to keep exploring this idea. When we realized we wanted to bring in a fifth member, we didn’t want to burden anybody with being a “replacement.” We wanted somebody to come in as a fresh energy, full of ideas and their own unique style. We’ve known Aaron for a long time, and I was always inspired by his ability to do what I loved about DIY music — start a record label, put on gigs, start a band. Aaron and I had a few deep conversations over the years, so there was just a vibe. Our only hesitation was that it was too obvious. We thought everyone would go, “Yo, duh!” But we just had to go with the gut, and the gut said: “Ask Aaron!” And in our minds, it wasn’t a tryout. It was total trust: “Do you want to join our band?” Aaron, how did you feel about getting that invitation?Aaron Turner Well, I didn’t understand that it was an invitation. [Laughs] Steve and I had some preliminary conversations about it. I thought we’d play together and see what it felt like. I didn’t understand that by saying I was interested, I was committing if the idea was accepted. Then Steve just called me up one day, and he’s like, “All right, we talked about it. Everybody agrees, you’re in.” I was kind of like, “Oh, that’s interesting — we haven’t even played a note of music together.” As Steve said, our connection goes back many years. Without knowing it, I had been piecemeal submitting my application for several decades. And knowing Neurosis as people and as a band, I knew a fair amount about what I was agreeing to do. I knew that this was a set of people with very deep-rooted artistic integrity. It was still overwhelming to hear that I had been invited not just to play with them, but to join. And then there was the next step, which was playing together — which was equally exciting and daunting and surprisingly fluid. Steve, were you guys clear that you didn’t just want Aaron to sing or play guitar, but that you wanted the full “Aaron experience” in Neurosis?Von Till Yeah. We’ve always been about reinvention and evolution, and because of how we had to fade to the background and put it on ice for a while — and tend to our life’s work as a dying corpse — we wanted the reinvention to be strong and energized. We wanted it to have fresh input. We like Aaron’s ideas, and we knew we didn’t have to explain anything about where we were coming from — he just intuitively knew it. We started by playing a couple old songs, just to get our feet wet. And then we had a couple of new ideas already sitting around, and Aaron instantly inserted himself with confidence, commenting and critiquing and adding his own parts. By the second time [we played together], he was bringing in ideas of his own. That’s exactly what we wanted. We wanted a reinvention … and we wanted to make sure we came out swinging. Aaron, you’ve been a Neurosis fan from way back. When you were bringing in those new ideas, were you specifically tailoring them to the band?Turner I was intentionally tailoring things for Neurosis — essentially, doing what’s right for the group and speaking with my honest creative voice. It was definitely nerve-wracking. But it also felt like, Well, if they don’t like them, I’ll just write more. We’ve all been writing music for a long time, and nobody gets personally offended if their ideas are rejected. That’s just how you get to a good end result, by going through that process — as Jason [Roeder] described it, the “Neurosis meat grinder” — where everybody puts in their raw material, and then, as a collective, it becomes refined and unified. This is a true committee process, and there are no punches held. If somebody doesn’t like an idea, it is shot down without any perfunctory niceties. That bluntness, though maybe a bit harsh at first, was also refreshing, because it’s awful to be in a creative situation where people aren’t speaking their minds. You end up with a compromised end result and with resentments, and I don’t want to be in that position. I’ve been there, and it sucks. Von Till Neurosis has always been that way. Not a single note squeaks by that everyone hasn’t approved. Not everything has to be discussed, some stuff is just inherently like, “Yep, that’s it.” But other things are microscopically picked apart till everybody loves it. It is brutal, but it is consensus. Scott Evans When did you start recording the album?Von Till We didn’t even know that we were going [into the studio] until about last September. We had a bulk of material taking the skeletal shape of a record, but we’d only gotten together a few times in 2024 and early 2025. Various circumstances in our personal lives made it very difficult to find the energy, persistence and resilience to focus enough on it… I work with a nonprofit in Montana called the Firekeeper Alliance, which is focused on reducing suicide in Indian Country. One of their pillars is using creativity as part of a strength-based approach — using heavy, dark, intense emotional music as a protective factor. I’ve been on the board since it started, and Charlie Speicher, the founder, was one of the few people that knew we’d asked Aaron to join. He asked, “What are the chances that Neurosis could be the band to represent Firekeeper Alliance’s mission as the headliner at next year’s Fire in the Mountains festival?” I said, “That’s my dream, but we’re not ready. We’re not going to play anywhere or even announce that we’re together until we have a record of new material with Aaron, and things are rough right now.” I went back to Aaron’s place, and we had a heart-to-heart talk: “Are we really doing this? Why are we doing this? What do we want out of this? Can we find a way to persevere together? Because we have this opportunity where our return could be in the most appropriate location for the most appropriate reason.” I shared my experience of the festival last year, how it felt way more like ceremony than a music festival — especially because of the mostly local-led workshops on sovereignty, buffalo restoration, processing grief and trauma, settler colonialism, resilience — and how that’s exactly where we need to be. In Blackfeet culture, when a call comes out for you to bring your expertise and your gifts to help, you answer the call. And we all said, “Yes, let’s do it.” Before anybody could change their mind, I called [producer] Scott Evans: “When’s the soonest we can get in the studio?” It was right around Thanksgiving. We knew there was no way we could have this entire 64 minutes of material ready in one batch, so we broke it into thirds. We rehearsed the first third at Aaron’s. Two weeks later we recorded it in Seattle. Two weeks after that, we rehearsed the second third. Two weeks after that, we recorded it. Two weeks after that, we rehearsed the final third. Two weeks after that, we recorded it. Two weeks after that, we mixed it in Oakland. Several weeks after that, we were approving test pressings. And a couple weeks after that, we dropped it out of nowhere. Bobby Cochran Why did you keep the album’s existence so tightly under wraps until it was released?Von Till I didn’t want to promise something until it was reality. Our statement was the 64 minutes of material. You can’t piecemeal it out. There’s not one track that represents everything that we had been through, and everything that we had put into getting to that point. It all had to come at once. I wanted it to be digested as a record, not prejudged. People have all kinds of reasons to naysay things or come up with preconceived assumptions before they’ve had a chance to digest it. This just bypassed that whole system. We’ve never shied away from wanting to do the epic thing, so that was a pretty epic way to go. And the spring equinox felt like the right day to do it. Turner This was not just a new record, but a rebirth and an announcement about our participation in Fire in the Mountains. So creating an idea around the presentation of the record in a way that felt meaningful was important. Von Till I run our label [Neurot Recordings], so I was literally sitting there about to push “Send” at 7 a.m. on spring equinox. My hand was shaking because of the weight of what we were about to unleash. And then the next 72 hours brought wave upon wave of words that I would never have predicted, like, “What a great day to be alive!” or “I can’t believe how much I needed this!” We understood that feeling. We needed to reclaim our life’s work. We needed to do this. But to have so much unrelenting acceptance of Aaron being absolutely the right guy, and people diving into it immediately and just being blown away and emotionally moved by it was a very healing experience for us. The cesspool of the internet became a place of unexpected joy in our universe for a while, and I would have never put any money on that.

Neurosis have announced a handful of additional tour dates after their upcoming appearance at Fire In The Mountains festival.
Ahead of Neurosis’ set at this year’s Fire in the Mountains festival — the iconic metal troupe’s first gig in 7 years, and likewise the debut performance with new guitarist-vocalist Aaron Turner (ISIS, Sumac) — the band have announced another trio of upcoming concerts. As previously reported, Neurosis are set to headline the upcoming Fire in the Mountains festival in East Glacier, Montana, which runs July 23rd-26th. Today (July 15th), the act announced that they’ll next pop up at Hellbender in Asheville, North Carolina on September 5th, as part of an epic bill that finds them supporting sludge greats Acid Bath and joined by Melvins and Kylesa. After that, Neurosis will drop into a two-night hometown run at the Fillmore in San Francisco, California, on October 16th and 17th — a press release notes that these headlining dates will be “celebrating their return to the Bay Area where the band was formed.” It’s not yet clear whether opening acts will be announced for these shows. All of these live appearances are set to support Neurosis’ recent — and Revolver-reader-favorited — comeback album, An Undying Love for a Burning World. Tickets to Fire in the Mountains and the gig with Acid Bath are already on sale, while tickets to Neurosis’ Bay Area shows go up for sale this Friday (July 17th) at 10 a.m. PT. In related news, Neurosis guitarist-vocalist Steve Von Till and Turner spoke about the band’s return in a new, exclusive interview with Revolver, which can be found in our new Summer 2026 issue — along with features on Loathe, Evanescence, Motionless in White and more.

The list of killer new songs we’re throwing on our 2026 playlist grows exponentially each week — and the heavy hits just keep on coming. Last week, we asked our readers to rank the five best albums that came out between January and June, and they raised their horns to honor a mix of nu-brooding anthems, post-metal comebacks and hardcore faves. Naturally, we’ve now asked them to also weigh in on the standout songs of 2026. There’s a bit of crossover, to be sure, but these were their votes for the top 5 tracks of the still-young year, ranked accordingly. Neurosis Blind It’s been plain to see that Neurosis’ surprise comeback album was something that the heavy-music community both craved and needed — that’s why An Undying Love for a Burning World placed so high in our recent album poll, coming in as our readers’ second favorite of the year so far. The thought of picking but one key juggernaut off this cohesive epic seemed a daunting task, but the fans have pointed to “Blind” as the song to beat. It’s full of brawny doom riffs, elephantine guitar bends, psychedelic noise passages and gruff, yet reflective shouts that hint at Neurosis’ long journey back to us (“Find our way through the fields we have sown”). Marilyn Manson Exit Wound Marilyn Manson fans have poured one out in honor of “Exit Wound,” the formal entry point to the shock rocker’s much-anticipated One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2. The song takes on a familiarly brooding aesthetic — think psyche-spearing guitar judding, haunted house keyboard melodies and a chorus of eerily layered “ohs” that recall “The Beautiful People.” Manson whispers and shouts of being the godforsaken one, absorbing praise and hate in one fell swoop as a pack of vultures buzz above him. That titular wound’s not healing anytime soon, per Manson. That’s good news for the fans, who keep lapping up the resultant downpour. Evanescence Rapture While Evanescence fans have clearly been loving all of the nu-rockers’ recently released Sanctuary album — they confirmed as much while ranking the release high in our poll for the Top 5 albums of 2026 so far — it’s fair to say that the song they’ve been feeling the most is “Rapture.” It’s a slow-burning, super-dramatic chunk-out featuring “Tubular Bell”-ish tones, mega-distorted guitar melancholy, gothic reprieves and a frantically glass-crashing, hard-drive-snapping collusion of noise in the breakdown. Amy Lee delivers rock-operatic catharsis while apparently drowning an emotionally-manipulative antagonist in a flood of their own tears. Biblically savage. Mastodon Your Ghost Again Mastodon made a most welcome return this spring with their first song since 2024 — and likewise since both the departure of guitarist Brent Hinds from their lineup, and his subsequent passing. It’s emotionally charged to say the least, the surviving members reflecting on the fate of their fallen friend and their own path forward, hopes and regrets swirling through an emotions-charged and astoundingly powerful performance of sludge-style groove and heartfelt progressive twistiness. Motionless in White Afraid of the Dark Revolver readers shone a spotlight on Motionless in White’s “Afraid of the Dark” this week, coronating it the best song of 2026 thus far. Informed by multiple eras of MIW — delivering both blistering metalcore aggression and a melodic, mega-anthemic chorus — this pick also features a particularly cathartic explosion from the band s frontman, Chris Motionless. This time, the MIW vocalist heads into the unknown to overcome struggles, “siphon all the power from the pain” and go supernova with fierce determination. “Afraid of the Dark” is a fist-raising anthem about perseverance, and it’s rallying folks to keep it together through 2026 and beyond.
Legendary stoner/doom metal band Sleep have resurfaced with their first new music since 2018, albeit without guitarist and co-founder Matt Pike. In addition, Sleep have announced a fall North American tour (see date...
Doom-metal dragonauts Sleep are back but they look a little different. Guitarist Matt Pike, also of High on Fire, is no longer in the band, leaving vocalist-bassist Al Cisneros as the sole remaining OG member. Replacing Pike in Sleep s current lineup is Bubba Dupree, of the seminal D.C. hardcore band Void, while the Melvins very busy Dale Crover takes over drum duties. Thusly reconfigured, the stoner-rock legends just surprise-released a new single, Have Spacesuit Will Travel, announced a big fall North American tour, and released the first issue of the Sleep Comic Book, written by Cisneros. The vibe of the first jam was obvious, he commented of Have Spacesuit Will Travel. It was blue sunglasses-era Iommi in the quality, and equally awesome is Bubba is also one of the coolest people I ve been able to make music with. As for the Sleep Comic Book, issue #1 is illustrated by Dave Kloc and Arik Roper, and begins the saga of The Marijuanaut, transporting readers to the riff-filled land of Planet Iommia where our hero encounters with The Weedian and more. It s available for purchase in both a special and standard edition via Third Man Books. Sleep s fall tour is set to kick off September 8th in San Diego, and includes a headline performance at Levitation Festival in Austin, Texas. Tickets will be on sale for artist presale June 23rd at 10 a.m. local time, and public on-sale June 25th at 10 a.m. local time.

The gods of heavy have blessed music fans thus far into 2026. We’re only just halfway through the year, but it’s already shaping up to be another golden time for metal — one that’s provided iconic farewells and surprise hellos, bands doubling their fun with a pair of blistering LPs, and the announcement of many mega-anticipated releases. To highlight what’s come through the pipeline to date, we asked our readers to vote for the records that have had them banging their heads the most. They responded and ranked their faves accordingly. Lamb of God Into Oblivion Even outside of this week’s fan poll, our readers have been reminding us that they are fully down with the latest LOG release. Hell, someone pops up in our Instagram comments most Fridays to tell us that Into Oblivion’s “Blunt Force Blues” is one of the band’s best songs yet. In what you’ll see is a bit of a running theme here, Into Oblivion finds Lamb of God critiquing the global hellscape around them through a series of virulent thrashers and groove-heavy smashers. It’s filthy, to be sure, but it’s clear that lots of metalheads were ready for a baaaad case of “Sepsis.” Periphery A Pale White Dot There are actually 12 dots on the cover of Periphery’s latest album, some paler than others. Nevertheless, the presentation of the progressive force’s eighth studio album makes our readers blush — whether the act are vaulting between the derelict, djent-pressed heaviness of “Mr. God” and more melodic anthems like “Heaven on High,” or mixing ambient synth washes with extreme blasts on “Obsession.” The collabs with Lorna Shore’s Will Ramos and Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo clearly had the fans clapping, too. Converge Love Is Not Enough (or) Hum of Hurt What’s better than getting one Converge album in 2026? Getting two, of course! This year saw the Massachusetts metalcore veterans deliver both Love Is Not Enough and Hum of Hurt in just under four months, and our heads are still swimming over all that heaviness. Indeed, Revolver readers couldn t pick one album over the one. While there are exceptions to the rule, the first part is perhaps a touch faster, while Hum gets a little groovier and weirder. And while Jacob Bannon poses that “it only gets worse” on the latter — at least on a narrative level — it’s truly a great and prosperous time to be a Converge fan. Neurosis An Undying Love for a Burning World One of the wildest surprise announcements to come this year was the return of psych-sludge greats Neurosis, who dropped a whole damn album on us this spring completely out of nowhere. What’s more, the lineup has evolved to now include Isis and Sumac vocalist-guitarist Aaron Turner, and he is a seamless fit. Indeed, the NeurIsis connection is complete. From the overstimulation of the announcement itself, to the actual sonic heft of the record’s gargantuan grooves and gorgeous layering, it’s a lot to take in. Yet Neurosis’ return filled out hearts with joy. The world is both literally and metaphorically burning around us, but metal fans’ love of Neurosis is unwavering. Evanescence Sanctuary No surprise here: Revolver readers found solace within the strains of Evanescence’s stunning and much-anticipated sixth full-length, Sanctuary. Amy Lee and Co. laid the bait last year with the booming single “Afterlife and continued to reel listeners in with their massively anthemic “Who Will You Follow.” For those who love the group s emotionally towering choruses, nu-brooded dynamics and Lee’s unwaveringly mighty vibrato, the rest of the record delivers just as big. And it s been rapturously received by the fandom, to say the least. Early in the record, Lee asks someone to “tell me when you’ve had enough.” Given the myriad votes cast for Sanctuary, there’s an infinitude of spins to go before we reach our limit.
