The Eye of Every Storm is the eighth studio album by American post-metal band Neurosis.

Style

It tones down the strong folk music influences that were prominent on the band's previous album, A Sun That Never Sets, while incorporating more industrial elements. The album explores their trudging and massive sound with a more dynamic approach, closer to post-rock than their earlier work.
