In a new interview with The New Scene, NEUROSIS vocalist/guitarist Steve Von Till spoke about the band's recently released first new album in a decade, An Undying Love For A Burning World.

The LP sees the band — Von Till, drummer Jason Roeder, bassist Dave Edwardson and keyboard player Noah Landis — joined by Aaron Turner (SUMAC, ISIS),a musician whose legacy is intertwined with NEUROSIS's own and a true kindred spirit.

Addressing the fact that he and his NEUROSIS bandmates had silently split with co-founder Scott Kelly in 2019, keeping Scott's domestic abuse and emotional manipulation and subsequent dismissal quiet to respect Kelly's family's wish for privacy, before Scott finally copped to the damage three years later, Von Till said: \u{Well}, I don't wanna feed too much oxygen into a certain situation as we're looking forward.

But we weren't sure.

We had to walk away and put it on ice.

We had to get perspective.

You can imagine that the entire mixed emotions that we had of having essentially our life's work pulled out from under us\u{….} It was heartbreaking and devastating and shameful, seeing what our name was associated with." Regarding how Aaron came to join NEUROSIS, Steve said: \u{Well}, we've been friends for a long time.

ISIS toured with NEUROSIS when they were a young new band.

And Aaron had done artwork for a NEUROSIS EP, and we had put out some ISIS stuff and some of his side-project stuff on Neurot Recordings.

So we'd been in contact over the years.

I've paid attention a lot to what he's doing with SUMAC.

I was really always impressed by his not falling back on what he had done before, but pushing the envelope and really finding interesting and unique ways to approach heavy music, emotional, heavy music, and art." On the topic of the songwriting process for An Undying Love For A Burning World and Aaron's musical contributions to the album, Steve said: \u{I believe that was May 2024, was our first kind of jam together.

And 2024, we could only get together, I think it was three times over the year, 'cause people were already busy and scheduled with stuff and had different stuff going on.

But basically we just kind of — beforehand we asked him to learn a few old songs, just so we'd have something to jump in and play.

I mean, we need to play — just shake the rust off and just dive in on something." An Undying Love For A Burning World was recorded by Scott Evans (KOWLOON WALLED CITY, SUMAC, GREAT FALLS) at Studio Litho in Seattle during three weekends this winter, and mixed in three days just six weeks before release at Evans's Antisleep Audio in Oakland.

NEUROSIS will play their first show in seven years on the traditional lands of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana as part of Fire In The Mountains festival by special invitation of Firekeeper Alliance, a non-profit dedicated to reducing youth suicide in Indian Country.
