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.

To Pacify
Neuraxis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Denial.. refuse to admit the moment of abuse you took upon me
Resign... the facts about your actions that
defy... the limit of diplomacy
Gain the attention to derive everything from the truth, to advantage
Seek to appropriate, whatever advantage needed
Twisted way of accusing the other. To avoid being suspected and judged
By accusing the other with twisted ways
You avoid being suspected and judged
Gain the attention, to pacify those you mislead and manipulated
The song "To Pacify" by Neuraxis explores the theme of betrayal and the hypocrisy of the betrayer. The opening line "Betrayer.. it seems you didn't get enough of my generosity" suggests that the subject of the song has been betrayed by someone they have been generous to, and they are disappointed that their generosity was not enough to prevent the betrayal. The next line "Denial.. refuse to admit the moment of abuse you took upon me" reveals that the betrayer is in denial about their actions and is not taking responsibility for the harm caused to the subject. The subject then resigns to the fact that the betrayer's actions defy diplomacy and are therefore beyond reconciliation.
The chorus "Gain the attention to derive everything from the truth, to advantage" portrays the betrayer as someone who seeks to gain everything they can from the truth but only to their advantage. The verses continue to describe the hypocritical and twisted methods the betrayer uses to appropriate whatever advantage they need, even if it means accusing the subject falsely to avoid being suspected and judged.
In summary, the song "To Pacify" by Neuraxis is a powerful exploration of betrayal and the hypocrisy of the betrayer. It decries the betrayal of trust and the use of twisted methods to appropriate advantage by any means necessary.
