Sumac

He's a fucking legend.

I saw Oxbow play with Sumac once and it was just such a fucking sick build.

and uh yeah this is going to be a very broad question so i'm going to roll it into one how did you all start we've got five broads here what influenced you all to start making music of your own uh and how did brick come together

think all of us have always made music

I was new-ish to gigging as a whole, and certainly new to heavy music live.

But the fact that Neurosis have reunited with none other than Aaron B. Turner, whom I had the very good fortune to see play live with Sumac the other week, and they're playing the incredible sounding Fire in the Mountains festival, gives me hope that I might get to see them live again and properly experience it.

No intimidation, no leaving halfway through the set.

Yeah, none of that.

That explained the hiatus, long even by their standards, and was until very recently considered to be the end of the band as an entity.

Pretty definitive.

However, 2026 is news of a reunion with Aaron Turner of Isis and Sumac, among others joining them.

The release of new music and the resumption of touring means that we can look forward to happier times and hopefully more new music and live dates.

So yeah, new Neurosis.

In that vein, Sumac.

L- listen to them a lot.

Like, just Aaron Turner, just great.

But I feel like every band I do, I get more of that natural emotion from that kind of crammed thing.

I was listening to the podcast with Aaron and he kind of mentioned that with Sumac as far as like that just play hard and play good kind of notion.

And as you kind of feel that in the room, because we did it mostly live, we did like DI guitars and then reamped them afterwards, which helped with the two day window.

Definitely a fun challenge.

Kind of formed out of a bunch of different Italian bands.

It's not dissimilar to something like Sumac.

Although...

Incredibly...
