NEUROSIS surprise releases first new album in a decade, 'An Undying Love For A Burning World'

23-03-2026

Long-running Oakland, California-based band NEUROSIS has surprise released a brand new album titled “An Undying Love For A Burning World” today via Neurot Recordings.

Evolution can be ugly and beautiful, painful and euphoric. “An Undying Love For A Burning World” is the first new release from NEUROSIS in a decade, and a potent statement of intent and rebirth — one that marks the first new steps of resolve and resilience.

NEUROSIS says: “We need this, perhaps more than ever, and we suspect we are not alone. The trials and tribulations in our personal lives and as a band, combined with simply trying to navigate the insanity of our society, with the stress, anxiety, and isolation that come with it can be excruciating. Add to that the existential confusion and sorrow of the climate crisis and the sixth mass extinction. It is enough to cause you to completely lose your mind if you can’t find release or catharsis. This strange emotionally charged music has always been our method of trying to survive this and this is what we’ve always been singing about. When you have spent a lifetime engaged with these energies and utilizing this form of expression to purge and purify, it feels detrimental to our well being to let it sit idle and neglected. This was now or never.”

Aaron Turner (SUMACISIS) joins the band on vocals and guitar, a name whose legacy is intertwined with the band’s own and a true kindred spirit.

“He came straight out of the gate contributing, writing and presenting ideas,” says the band. “His energy matches ours perfectly. It’s as if he was always meant to be there.” Aaron adds, “From the moment I first heard Neurosis over 30 years ago, I felt this was the music my heart and mind had been seeking but not yet heard. Now after many years travelling along various musical paths of my own, the singular sound and spirit embodied by NEUROSIS continues to speak to the depths of my being. It is an honor and a true pleasure to have been welcomed so warmly into a band that not only shaped my perspective on the limitless possibilities of music — but has lived and exemplified the necessity of upholding creative integrity and camaraderie above all else.”

In 2022 the band’s founding singer/guitarist Scott Kelly has publicly admitted to engaging in “the emotional, financial, verbal and physical abuse” of his wife and children. The then 55-year-old has also announced that he is “100% permanently retired from being a professional musician,” adding that “my sole focus for the rest of my life is on taking care of my family, allowing them safe space to heal and rebuilding their trust.”

Kelly is one of three founding members of Oakland, California experimental metal band NEUROSIS. He has been writing and publishing music since 1985 with NEUROSISTRIBES OF NEUROTBLOOD AND TIME and his solo acoustic project. He was also involved in a project named SHRINEBUILDER with Al CisnerosScott Weinrich and Dale Crover. In addition, he has guested on several studio albums by the band MASTODON.
