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 ↴
Technological dependance, limitation of our freedom
Elimination of our natural habits
Persecution of our natural habits
Takes control of our social values
Monopolizing the human race
A chaotic ending in complexity
All this inquires to understand,
we won't have any control of waht we used to do
Non-pulsed, perplexed, outcast, expelled...
Non-pulsed, perplexed, outcast, expelled...
Elimination of our natural habits
Persecution of our natural habits
Takes control of our social values
Monopolizing the human race
Technological dependance,
Limitation of our freedom
Destroys our primal instincts
Ordain to guide us... us into obliteration
Destroys our primal instincts
Ordain to guide us... us into obliteration
From restriction to slavery...
And simplify our responsabilities
It'll take over us
The lyrics to Neuraxis's song "Virtuosity" explore the idea of virtual enslavement and technological dependence. The song speaks to the idea that there is a limitation of freedom when we become reliant on technology, and the elimination and persecution of our natural habits leads to the monopolization of the human race. The lyrics describe how this technological dependence starts with a simple intrusion but quickly becomes chaotic and complex, leaving us unable to control what we used to do.
