É já na recta final de 2012 que é lançado um dos álbuns mais aguardados do ano. A expectativa sobre o sucessor de 'Given To The Rising' era enorme; afinal estamos a falar de uma das bandas mais importantes dos últimos 20 anos, no espectro da música pesada (e, atenção que pesada, para o caso concreto do colectivo de Oakland, está bem para além do que a mera música).
Os primeiros 60 minutos de contacto com esta nova proposta foram estranhos, na verdade. 'We All Rage In Gold' até nos transporta para aquele ambiente do seu antecessor, mas volvidos alguns minutos nota-se ali algo diferente. E essa sensação prolonga-se pelos seis temas seguintes. "Que raio! Sensaborão!", é a nossa exclamação após o impacto. Mas, o facto, é que há discos que crescem com o tempo, com a aturada atenção que lhes dispensamos e o entendimento, que julgamos obter, do que se pretende a cada lançamento por parte da banda. 'Honor Found In Decay' é, de certo modo, diferente - não no sentido de quebra da repetição -, mais maduro; é o álbum que se faz quando é atingido um determinado patamar, o da excelência entenda-se, e tudo o que se tem para a oferecer está ali, despido na simplicidade, honestidade e savoir faire; em suma, a grandeza. 'My Heart For Deliverance' e 'Casting Of The Ages' poderão ser dos melhores exemplos disso mesmo.
Ao fim de uma boa dezena de audições, vemos o décimo primeiro longa-duração dos Neurosis sob outro prisma: não o do imediatismo e da continuidade, mas sim a busca de algo maior. Não é um resumo nem o baralhar e voltar a dar. É aquilo que não se consegue explicar, mas está ali tão escancarado naqueles sons e palavras. (18/20)

It is now in the final stretch of 2012, which is released one of the most anticipated albums of the year. The expectation on the successor of 'Given To The Rising' was huge; after all, we are talking about one of the most important bands of the last 20 years, in the spectrum of heavy music (and attention that «heavy», to the case of the collective from Oakland, is well beyond from what is simple music).
The first 60 minutes of contact with this new proposal were strange indeed. 'We All In Rage Gold' transports us to the atmosphere of its predecessor, but a few minutes ware we note there is something different. And this feeling extends during the following six tracks. "What the hell! Tasteless!", it is our exclamation after the impact, but, the fact is there are records that grow over time, with devoted attention we dispense to them and the comprehension, which we think obtained, of what is desired by each release of the band. 'Honor Found In Decay' is somehow different - not in the sense of breaking the repetition of the formula -, more mature, the album is what you do when a certain threshold is reached, the excellence one, and all that has to offer is there, naked in simplicity, honesty and savoir faire; in conclusion, greatness. 'My Heart For Deliverance' and 'Casting Of The Ages' may be the best examples of this.
After a good dozen hearings, we see the eleventh album of Neurosis in a different perception: not the immediacy and continuity, but the pursuit of something greater. It is not a summary or the shuffling and giving back. It's what you can not explain, but there is so barefaced in those sounds and words. (18/20)
