Having released 6 full lengths (Imagery, A Passage Into Forlorn, Truth Beyond.. , Trilateral Progression, The Thin Line Between, Asylon) Neuraxis have created a very unique style combining sheer brutality with a melodic and progressive edge.
Imagery was more of a death/grind album, while A Passage Into Forlorn (2001) introduced a more melodic and progressive side of extreme metal. And with Truth Beyond…(2002), Neuraxis raised the bar with a dizzying amount of brutality, melody and technicality. All 3 albums were released in Canada (Galy Rec), USA (Willowtip Rec) and Europe (Earache Rec).
In 2005 Neuraxis remain as progressive and vital as ever with their brand new full length, Trilateral Progression. Since Truth Beyond, the band's songwriting has matured to the point of Atheist-like complexity, while maintaining a triumphant melodic edge that baffles and lays waste to most of their contemporaries.
Trilateral Progression stands tall as an articulate model for challenging technical death metal that rejects commercial trends and successfully balances a majestic sense of melody with go-for-the-throat aggression.

Neuraxis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Imagine a link to all humans
The one who's bounded to our life...
See the chains.. cycle path... a fragment is deteriorating
Time, the hint is unsealed, noxious mind
Eminent forlorn trade between and his guiltless force
Time, the hint is unsealed, noxious mind
Private mistrust, arrogance. Power, hatred for an entire lies
Time, the hint is unsealed, noxious mind
Link of innocence... of innocence. Link of innocence
Grab the heart of a shadow's light and see deep in this sight
Link of innocence... of innocence. Link of innocence
Vacan soul reflecting the evil plan is confused
Decreased as the age increased, the offspring's power is gone
And the parts of a child dies
What will they say? The offspring's power gone
To disapear if it's seen.
Missive informer watching the exit of lies
A fragment is deteriorating, see the chain
This cycle path
The one who's bounded to our life
Imagine a link to all humans
The song "Link" by Neuraxis is a complex exploration of the link between innocence, power, and corruption. The first verse describes an imagined link that connects all humans, with a special emphasis on the link of innocence. It suggests that this link is what keeps us bound to our lives. However, as the song progresses, we see that this link is not necessarily a positive thing. The chains and cycle path references suggest a sense of being trapped or constrained, and the mention of a deteriorating fragment implies that something is falling apart. The hint of a noxious mind and eminent forlorn trade between power and guiltless force further emphasize the dangers of the link.
As the song continues, we see a juxtaposition of innocence and corruption. Private mistrust, arrogance, and hatred are all listed alongside the inherent innocence of a newborn child. The offspring's power is highlighted as something that decreases with age, and it suggests that parts of a child dies as they grow older. However, the song ends on a hopeful note, suggesting that the missive informer watching the exit of lies can help to break the cycle path and end the deterioration of the link.
Overall, "Link" is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between innocence, power, and corruption, and it encourages the listener to consider their own role in these dynamics.
Line by Line Meaning
Link of innocence...
Imagine a link to all humans
The one who's bounded to our life...
This link is connected to everything we do in life
See the chains.. cycle path... a fragment is deteriorating
The link is being broken apart and is slowly falling apart
Time, the hint is unsealed, noxious mind
As time passes, secrets are revealed and negative thoughts surface
Eminent forlorn trade between and his guiltless force
The trade-off between doing what's right and feeling guilty for it
The new born child at the height of innocence
Newborns start with a clean slate and have no negative thoughts or actions
Private mistrust, arrogance. Power, hatred for an entire lies
Distrust in others, arrogance, and the desire for power lead to lies
Grab the heart of a shadow's light and see deep in this sight
Look past superficial things and see the true nature of a person
Vacan soul reflecting the evil plan is confused
A confused and empty soul that reflects the evil plans of others
Decreased as the age increased, the offspring's power is gone
As we age, we lose our power and ability to do what we once could
And the parts of a child dies
The innocence and purity of youth fades away as we grow older
What will they say? The offspring's power gone
People will judge and criticize us when we lose our power and abilities
To disappear if it's seen
The link will cease to exist once it's discovered
Missive informer watching the exit of lies
Someone is keeping watch and waiting for the truth to come out
A fragment is deteriorating, see the chain, This cycle path
The link is being destroyed and falling apart, which causes a chain reaction
The one who's bounded to our life
The link is an integral part of our lives
Imagine a link to all humans
This link connects all humans and our actions impact each other
