I'm surprised this has received so few reviews as to me this is pretty much the pinnacle of extreme metal. I'm almost hesitant in using the term 'metal' as I think it transcends the moniker. It's more a work of art. I can only sum it up as a dense soundtrack to the end of the world as the sea floods all and everything.
I bought this album at the time of release, having not heard any Neurosis prior and it totally blew me away. It still does today and is probably what I'd consider the heaviest album I own. It has a multi-layered dark atmosphere that can be both cataclysmic and depressingly beautiful at the same time.
It might not be to everyones tastes as songs are long and slow, dynamic, thick and doomy with a tribal percussion feel (particularly in the title track) running through the album and guitars that sound almost organic at times, riffs seemingly rolling and folding in on themselves before crashing on a virtual shore of a dying world.
I don't really know what else to say except that this is an AWESOME album in every respect and it has an epic sense of scale. It's not easy listening but for those that like heavy, noisy, slow, cinematic type metal (if that is such a thing) then you should buy this album without hesitation. Discover it an don't turn back. It might change your view of what "heavy" is.

What can you really say about this album that hasn't already been said? It's a classic in every respect. Neurosis are one of the few pioneering metal bands that were almost completely overlooked by the mainstream, the reasons are obvious, but you'd have thought they'd receive a little more recognition at festivals & the like.
Through Silver in Blood was the album that almost got them noticed.
The very nature of TSIB however was it's own downfall. Check out these track lengths;
Through Silver in Blood 12:11
Rehumanise 1:46
Eye 5:17
Purify 12:18
Locust Star 5:48
Strength of Fates 9:43
Become the Ocean 1:27
Aeon 11:44
Enclosure in Flame 10:19
What radio station/festival promoter would touch them with a barge pole? Billy Anderson's incredibly dense, sludgy production set it aside from the polished sounds of Pantera, Sepultura (circa 1996) and Machine Head.
In the underground may they forever rule.
TSIB is just an absolute monolith of a record. Even the quieter moments are filled with a crawling intensity and dread. The heavy sections are absolutely pummelling; powerful tribal drumming; scraping distorted bass; at times a triple vocal attack. It's just something really to behold rather than listen to. It demands your attention.
As you can probably tell, Neurosis are one of my favourite bands. Their passion, vision and integrity towards their music is incredible. Instead of making a joke out of it like Mike Patton, they channel it into several different eclectic musical outlets, (Tribes of Neurot, Blood & Time, Steve Von Till & Scott Kelly both do solo acoustic work, Battle of Mice, Harvestman, etc.). All this experimenting makes their ideas and vision stronger when they once again converge to create another monster album as Neurosis.
The music on Through Silver in Blood is so layered and dense, multiple listens will only just scrape the surface of what's happening; it's quite an experience & when you get to know it there aren't many metal albums which can surpass it. It's even catchy....... STARS! Reign dooooown oooon youuuu.....
Essential for those into dark, heavy music and have an attention span longer than three minutes.

Recently, much has been made of the many artists combining "electronica" (a hideous term for such brilliant music) and traditional rock music, citing bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Pitchshifter and - more recently - Radiohead. People overlook Neurosis, who have consistently been at the cutting edge of rock music for many years. This album is not just heavy, but takes the listener on a journey through tribal percussion, samplescapes, electronic ambience, hardcore metal and so much more. It is a remarkable overview of our society and the struggle between the "progress" of humanity and the plight of nature. Tracks are (up to) 12 minute lessons in dynamics, aesthetics, spirituality and catharsis. If that sounds a bit pretentious, the album could also be seen to contain seven of the best songs you will ever hear, simple as that. This CD cannot be recommended highly enough. Perseverence is required with what at first seems a blend of impenetrable sound, but once you find the requisite empathy, the rewards far outweigh the effort. A must for fans of guitar-based music, but recommended to all. There is so much more to say, and those interested should feel free to contact me by email. P.S. I am in no way affiliated with the band, other than being very appreciative of their music.
