Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Enemy of the Sun is the fourth studio album by Californian avant-garde metal band Neurosis. It was originally released on Alternative Tentacles in 1993 and later reissued on Neurot Recordings in 1999. The album was reissued with new cover artwork on April 20, 2010. On February 14, 2012, a fully remastered version was released on vinyl via Relapse Records.
The album opens with a sample from the movie adaptation of The Sheltering Sky. The same sample also opens The God Machine's Scenes from the Second Storey, an album released in the same year as Enemy of the Sun.
The cover artwork depicts a statue from Toddington Manor in Gloucestershire, England - the subject is unknown but is most likely Saint Thomas Becket. Simon Marsden is the original photographer.
This album is the last Neurosis album to feature Simon McIlroy.
