Neurosis - "At The Well": Folksy Metal

In the 25 + years since their debut Pain of Mind, if anything can be said about uber, uber heavy metal kings Neurosis is that they are very much their own band and do things when they want. Five plus years removed from their last album, the skull crushing Given To The Rising, Neurosis returns next month with "Honor Found In Decay". In advance of the new album, the Bay Area legends have posted a track "At The Well" on NPR's website . Produced by longtime partner in crime Steve Albini, "At The Well" has all the elements of classic Neurosis but also finds them embracing the folky/Americana influences that frontmen Scott Kelly and Steve Van Till have become fond of during their break. It also reminds me quite a bit of the material on the awesome new album by Swans called the Seer. So can't wait for this one to come out. In the meantime, here's the link to "At The Well".
