To talk about Neurosis is to talk about 24 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. Neurosis
will be releasing an MCD entitled “The Horror of Chrnobyl” in March 2011. This new recording features Jorge on Vocals,
Guitars and Bass, Giovanny Roa on drums and Brad Kole (USA), special guest guitarist playing the solos in all songs.
Jorge Mackenzie is endorsed by MOSER CUSTOM SHOP Guitars (USA) and SANTO ANGELO Cables (Brazil).
