This band sounds like a cross between Isis, Pelican and the Melvins. It sounds nothing like Neurosis. Actually this band doesn’t come anywhere near the bands I just mentioned. Except no substitutes.

irepress? you can’t compare them to irepress, two completely different styles of music. the only similarity is that there are no vocals

Honestly, Ironhorse sounds like a mediocre Irepress.

Oh, and yeah, I still can’t believe Vince and Axl don’t like Neurosis.

@Sammy: Agreed, but post-metal never has been one for catchy songs.

oh right…Neurosis, too.

And, agreed, “Through Silver in Blood” is a must-own.

I love it when Dream Theatre fans call out ISIS on ‘wank’.

Intensity — check!

Oh well, two outta three ain’t bad.

You said it, Conor. I’ll take Neurosis “wank” over silly guitar virtuoso wank any day of the week. That said, Ironhorse sounds pretty good to me. Love to hear a decent recording.

The wank is just what I like about Neurosis, thank you very much.

I don’t know if I hear any Neurosis in this band at all. Way too tech and with zero dynamics. Maybe closer to earlier Isis or Pelican. That said, it isnt half bad.

And V- I do believe you need to listen to “Through Silver And Blood” again and then “Times Of Grace”. Those are some classic records.
