Legendary post-metal outfit Neurosis will reunite for a worldwide exclusive performance at this year's Fire in the Mountains. The show, presented by the Firekeeper Alliance – a non-profit tackling suicide in Indigenous communities – will take place on the sacred lands of the Blackfeet Nation this July. Neurosis will perform with new vocalist/guitarist Aaron Turner (Isis, Sumac, Old Man Gloom) against the mountain backdrop.
The announcement coincides with the release of their new album, An Undying Love For A Burning World, via Neurot Recordings. Stream that right here in all its phenomenal, sludgy glory.
Steve Von Till commented on the performance: "I cannot think of a more appropriate environment for us to return to the stage. Last year's Fire in the Mountains festival was the most profound music event I have ever been a part of… Using emotionally heavy music to build community and collectively stare darkness in the eye is something we have always believed in, but using it to directly address the heartbreaking reality of suicide, grief, loss and trauma is taking it to another level."
Festival founder Jeremy Walker added: "To provide the stage for the return of one of the most impactful bands of our generation is more than a milestone – it is a dream realized… We invite you to join us at Red Eagle Campground for a once in a lifetime performance."
Shane McCarthy, Fire in the Mountains Music Curator, described the booking as "surreal and very exciting… the return of Neurosis – along with a new album and lineup – is the final piece of the puzzle for this year's festival."

Fire in the Mountains was originally created to highlight the symbiotic relationship between heavy music and mountain landscapes. It was a way to bring people together to experience something extraordinary: the primal power of heavy music combined with the majesty and wildness of the Rocky Mountains.
What transpired was a truly unique and inspiring musical experience for the audience and bands alike. Now, Fire in the Mountains is evolving to be much more than just a concert in the mountains— it’s the deliberate curation of music, art, education, food, social responsibility, and adventure with the intention to cultivate our intrinsic nature through the act of rewilding; that is, to reconnect and immerse oneself with the natural world.
Fire in the Mountains is committed not only to raising awareness of the prevalence of suicide in Indian Country but also to actively participate in the solution by providing support for suicide prevention initiatives. Fire in the Mountains aims to create a platform that brings this issue to the forefront of public consciousness and fosters a supportive community dedicated to change.
