Neurosis Raze the Stray

[PissMyselfLaffing]

YES!!! This is the one I was looking for!! My Dad showed it to me on a tape but I didn't know the title! YES!

[youwerkilledbyfluffy]

It's hard to go to work and put up with pop top 20 after listening to these high quality songs from talented musicians. Thank a lot Neurosis.

[katievoss08]

SLUDGE, SLUDGE, AND MORE SSLLLLUUUUUUUDGE

[StaticMigrant]

Certainly one of their albums that I don't give enough attention, that needs to be changed! Oh and nothing beats listening to Neurosis when your mind is clear and sound.

[superpapolous]

yes nesurosis is a little bit more perfect drunk, but neurosis will soulfuck you if you listen to it VERy stoned

[perrottafamily1]

@superpapolous Neurosis will soulfu** you anyway.

[Clusterfuck66]

This is one of, if not my favorite Neurosis song. It's certainly the song that got me into the band. Amazing.

[lordmorgoth7]

neurosis is 10 cooler when you are drunk

[LoveBirdBrown]

@lordmorgoth7 English is 10 harder when you're drunk.

[SeannyEatsWorld]

I WILL NOT STRAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY

[baybars26]

Neurosis never lets me sit in my room...in the dark... alone.... I LOVE YOU SCOTT! N/H

[jonatron833]

[eyehateumotherfucker]

May all of us be lucky to reach "souls at zero". It doesn't matter what she's singing or in what language. Open your minds to the experience

[eyehateumotherfucker]

May all of us be lucky to reach "souls at zero"

[Scum71succer]

Guess no one knows :p

[Enysvar]

ALMOST AS GOOD AS JUSTIN BIEBER AND SLIPKNOT BUT ONLY ALMOST SO YEAH NOT GOOD

[SLAYER3610]

@Enysvar Both Justin Bieber and Slipknot eat dick. If you like both of them, please, get the FUCK out of my gene pool.

[Scum71succer]

but what the fudge is the singing at the start?

[veryboredpug]

@Scum71succer Um, see the comment above with 22 thumbs up that has a reply from the owner of the video >->

[Scum71succer]

@veryboredpug yeah but it still don't answer my question.....WTF is she singing and in what language

[Monada19]

@Scum71succer A short interview with Neurosis. There's a explanation about this participation of Erica Little. Hope you enjoy it. :)

[dsudthisa]

yep...just saw crawlspace for the first time and had to hear this song again!

[dicksandshit]

HEEshnaw! HEEshnaw!

[APPLEAPPS1]

Heeeeeeeeeeshnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaa­wwwwwwwwwwwww!

[MUTE8able]

i absolutely fucking love this song....

great post!

[Shippingshit]

I swear one of the singer sounds like Tom Araya.

[Vigilante606]

This song gives me the chills every time

[philippu00]

I have never heard anything this powerful! it made my flesh break in goosebumps!! holy Sh*t! 

[DasIstDochMalEinName]

Now that we're enlightened about the singer of this version of the lament in the beginning, I wonder if anybody knows about the origins of this lament. As someone already noted, a (different) version has been used for the soundtrack of "Crawlspace"(1986). In the credits it's called "Hebrew Lament" (performed by Alessandra Moscati). In the tracklist of the soundtrack composed by Pino Donaggio it's called "Martha's Lament".

Are these classical hebrew lyrics? I didn't find anything so far...

[Dadakuza]

@DasIstDochMalEinName

yep-got the DVD at crawlspace at home-nice 80s slasher with the great KLAUS KINSKI

[Scum71succer]

OMG why was my first reaction removed?

I just want to know what the intro is about, jeeez I been a fan for ages.... :(

[judasiscariot3]

beautiful..the best song on the album..

[anarcho1973]

@judasiscariot3 yeah! maybe the best song ever!!!

[Coldubh]

This album is like a melding of both their faster hardcore parts, and their newfound post core experimenting.

[brizznach]

The song from the beginning is also featured throughout a horror movie from the mid-80's called Crawlspace. It has Klaus Kinski (always crazy and awesome) in it as a crazy landlord/Nazi doctor that kills college kids. Pretty heady stuff. The song is credited as "Hebrew Lament"

[NoboDaddyOh]

I wonder if Brutal Truth's song Crawlspace is related to and/or about that movie in particular.

[floatinggardener]

How cool to hear this finally -- the vox are by Erica Little...she was my roommate several years ago in San Francisco (and told me that she had sung the vocals on a Neurosis track). I was thinking of her today and decided to see if I could google the track, and here it is. Plus I can clear up any confusion...it is not a sample, it is definitely her singing as a guest vocalist on the studio album. Thanks for posting this!!!

[smoki666x666]

Glad you cleared that up...

[kabirlovero1]

you can tell your old friend that she has a beautiful voice.

Love this song.

[Scum71succer]

@floatinggardener can you please help me on this, what the hell is she singing?

damn this been plagueing my mind for ages

[Scum71succer]

@floatinggardener But what is she singing and in what language?

[Scum71succer]

@floatinggardener dude wha language is it in can I get a translation of it pls? lol soz if I'm being pushy but I been wondering what I been listening to for ages :)

[darkthree]

such a heavy fucking riff on the verses

[Hirn0815]

One of the best songs from Neurosis. Very destructive and this is good. Unnecessary to say, Neurosis is the best Band ever.

[Scum71succer]

aye

[Pleurotus]

Neurosis is a force of nature. They're the 5th element.

[HamburgerMartyr]

beautiful.

[Scum71succer]

I love this song it's my fav but what does the intro mean and what language is it ?

[mrarmaggedon31415926]

ja we spent an age on that, the concensus is it's badly pronounced hebrew.

[Scum71succer]

aaw thnx m8 :) thought it soundede hebrew :)

[mrarmaggedon31415926]

ja but i'd still want to know where it's from cos i'd be into more stuff like it.

[Pleurotus]

I believe it's pure Neurosis, with a guest vocalist.

[DrSarvis]

I think the intro is original with a guest vocalist. I could be wrong though

[NordvredeOslo]

It's a sample. I've seen them live several times. The keyboard player does a lot of crazy shit like that.

[Pleurotus]

Mmm... I believe DrSrdvid is right. It's not a sample. I think they recorded it with a guest vocalist, some Erika Little, her name's in the album credits. And, since there's no other song on the whole record with female vocals, then it must be this one. But I might be wrong....

[NordvredeOslo]

Well, you're correct about that very last part.

[Pleurotus]

Maybe so. What I really mean is that, only because they don't have a guest vocalist when they perform the song live, it doesn't mean that they couldn't have one in the studio when they recorded it. Also, since you seem sure of the fact that it's not a vocalist but a sample, could you indicate me where else in the record I can hear this phantomatic Erika Little singing? It is probable that they just like sharing album credits with friends and relatives but, again, I might be wrong...

[NordvredeOslo]

A valid point, & well said. Yes, at some point, someone had to record the vocals. However the 5 times I've seen them live, & the 2 times I've had beers with these guys, there has never been any female vocalist tagging along. They play this song each time I see them. Do the album credits specifically state that Erica Little provided the vocals for this song, or are they not specific about that?

[Pleurotus]

No, the album credits just state that she provided additonal vocal parts, but doesn't say where. Anyway, I listened to the album today again and, in the song Lexicon, I think I can hear some sort of vocals, sounds more like kind of moaning, and it could be this Erika Little. If it is, it doesn't necessarily have to be her in the intro of Raze The Stray... the mistery is getting thicker by the minute.

I'll turn the internet inside-out and I'll get back to you if I find anything out!

[NordvredeOslo]

Sounds good, man.

[Pleurotus]

I can't find any information about the vocal intro on the internet, but I know one thing for sure: this song is absolutely GREAT!

[ColdAscending]

Legendary song,does anybody where the vocal-intro comes from?I´d really like to hear such music.
