NEUROSIS: Classic 'Sovereign' EP To Be Reissued With Bonus Track

July 7, 2011

For the last 26 years, NEUROSIS have tapped into the elusive wellspring where resonance and dissonance collude, circling emotional poles where nothing is withheld, where the psyche screams for answers to Earth's ancient mysteries

Following the recent reissues of some of NEUROSIS' most seminal groundbreaking earlier albums "Souls At Zero" and "Enemy Of The Sun"Neurot Recordings are now prepared to unveil the details on the next installment of this reissue series, with a new pressing of the band's infamous "Sovereign" EP. Originally unveiled in 2000, the "Sovereign" EP was the first NEUROSIS release issued through the band's own then newly-founded Neurot Recordings, with the vinyl pressing handled by Hydra Head. In chronological terms, "Sovereign" served as a millennial segue between two of the band's two revered full-lengths of that era; 1999's "Times Of Grace" and 2001's "A Sun That Never Sets".

The EP, though shorter than a NEUROSIS full-length opus, is a psychotropic experience of the highest order. And to top that off, this Neurot Recordings CD reissue also includes a previously unreleased fifth track, with the inescapably feedback-tormented hymn "Misgiven" closing out the reissue, added as a special bonus to this repressing of the recordings. The reissue comes bound in an O-Card/jewel case setup like the other recent NEUROSIS reissues, with artwork completely redesigned and updated by Aaron Turner.

"Sovereign" reissue track listing:

01. Prayer
02. An Offering
03. Flood
04. Sovereign
05. Misgiven [newly released track]

The reissue of "Sovereign" will be made available in North America on September 12.
