Neurosis Lends Music to Suicide-Prevention Short Film Ahead of Fire in the Mountains

Neurosis have recorded an original soundtrack for a new short film by Firekeeper Alliance, a suicide-prevention organization. The collaboration, announced without fanfare, places the band’s tense, ritualistic sound behind the nonprofit’s message work ahead of this year’s Fire in the Mountains Festival.

No release details or track listing accompany the project yet. The film’s arrival, however, signals a quiet alignment between Neurosis’s aesthetic and a cause that has long simmered beneath heavy music’s surface. Metal and its adjacent scenes carry disproportionate mental health burdens, and Firekeeper Alliance’s direct action bridges community and intervention. A band with Neurosis’s history tipping their craft toward that work carries more than symbolic weight.

The festival, held in the Tetons, has positioned itself as a gathering oriented around nature, reflection, and heavy art. Anchoring the screening there gives the film an immediate, receptive audience. For now, the film exists as a brief, functional piece—no press cycle, no inflated language, just a presence.
