THROUGH SILVER IN BLOOD

Through silver in blood is one of the greatest and most influential and genre defining album of post-metal. The album is long, with it being a little over seventy minutes and there only being nine songs. The album is a mix of industrial music, sludge metal, and atmospheric music, which is essentially the basis for which post-metal was built upon. The heavy drop A riffs are slow and doomy and the two vocalists screech and growl throughout the length of the album. Their are ambient-like atmospheric parts that serve as a nice break from the chaos that the album is. Neurosis was a very influential band for post-metal bands and sludge/doom metal bands alike, and bands that played both styles. Through silver in blood is a masterpiece of not only sludge, doom and post-metal, it is a masterpiece of metal music as a whole. This album can serve as a great start for someone who is getting into post-metal or Neurosis as a band. The album is essential listening for the metal music fan.
