Violent Coercion

Neurosis aren't really one of those bands.

Their name comes from the last song that three of their members wrote in their previous band, Violent Coercion, called Neurosis slash Faith or Fraud.

And I think you could say fairly it isn't terribly deep.

It's an anti-religious punk song.

It is worth calling out, however, that the song is over five minutes long, which feels pretty lengthy for a punk track.

Might be argued that that's an early sign they were prepared to push the envelope, even when they were doing what was ostensibly fairly traditional punk hardcore.

Violent Coercion aren't really my bag, but if that sounds like your thing, or you're just curious to see what Neurosis sounded like before they were Neurosis, they have an active Bandcamp page where you can pick up their full length, Still Time, and I'll put a link to it in the show notes.

Obviously, it's got that song and a whole load of others on.
