WELCOME

To talk about Neurosis is to talk about 23 years of struggle to bring honest and aggressive metal to the scene. The band
was formed in 1987 in Bogotá (COLOMBIA) by guitarist and songwriter Jorge Mackenzie and after years of hard work it is
now one of the most legendary metal bands in the South American scene. For those of you not familiar with the band it
is one of the oldest metal bands from Colombia, having toured South America (Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina,
Venezuela and Chile) and played the biggest festivals in Colombia gaining a reputation through the years. Neurosis has
shared stage with Apocalyptica, Monstruosity, Hirax, Haggard and Krisiun - in 2007 they were given the "Subterranica"
Award in Colombia as the best metal band in the country - in 1996 the video "Verdun 1916" was air-played in
"Headbanger´s Ball" on MTV Latino and MTV USA being the first Colombian metal band to be air-played and one of the
fist South American bands to do so. Neurosis has been a major influence to many other bands in Colombia, in 2008 a
Tribute to Neurosis was released featuring 10 different bands. So far the band has released 8 albums
and continues working hard, this year with a new line-up the band is working on new songs to release new material this
year – an MCD is planned to be recorded in December 2010. Jorge Mackenzie (guitarist and founder) is endorsed by
Moser Custom Shop Guitars (USA) and KRANK AMPS (USA).
