A Sun That Never Sets is the seventh studio album from the Californian band Neurosis. With this album Neurosis further distances themselves from their punk influenced roots and delve further into experimentalism but also still having sludge metal influences. The album sees Neurosis incorporate folk into their sound creating yet another unique sounding album. The band also decided to record this album using the full extent of studio recording, as opposed to writing material that could be played live. The album was awarded #18 on Decibel Magazine's top 100 metal albums of the decade. The band later released a DVD of a full-length film to which the album accompanies.
