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.

VERSUS
Neuraxis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The lyrics of the song Versus by Neuraxis talk about an individual who is seen as an idol by many. This person is considered to be a monument of strength and authority, and their rational behavior inspires millions. They are seen as a concrete statement and a glorious example of logic.

They are secretly seduced by the opposite and their beliefs and principles are starting to change.
The song delves into the concept of idols and how they can be influenced and swayed by opposing forces. It highlights the common human experience of being disillusioned by a once-great idol or leader who has shifted allegiances or lost their way. The lyrics suggest that even those who seem unshakeable can potentially fall prey to temptation and corruption.
