Steve Von Till is most widely recognized as vocalist and guitarist in heavy post-psychedelic punk legends Neurosis. However, his talents extend far beyond that band's thunderous intensity. He has established himself through various projects such as the experimental offshoot Tribes of Neurot, psych-drone band Harvestman, and acoustic guitar-based solo releases.

Born on September 30, Steve Von Till's music is characterized by a unique blend of genres, incorporating elements of punk, psychedelia, and experimental sounds. His work resonates with fans who appreciate the raw power and emotional depth found within his compositions.

In addition to his solo career, Steve Von Till has collaborated with notable artists such as Scott Kelly, Old Man Gloom, ISIS, Cult Of Luna, Jesu, Amenra, Wovenhand, Grails, Year Of No Light, Godflesh, Emma Ruth Rundle,Crippled Black Phoenix,Rosetta ,Earth,Minsk,Dorthia Cottrell,Battle Of Mice,and Mamiffer. These collaborations showcase his versatility and ability to seamlessly integrate into different musical landscapes.

Steve Von Till has charted an extraordinary musical path over the last several decades, from his main duties as singer and guitarist of the boundary-breaking Neurosis to the psychedelic music of his Harvestman project and the gothic Americana he's released under his own name. But No Wilderness Deep Enough is truly like nothing you've ever heard from him before—an album that's devastatingly beautiful and overwhelming in its scope, reminiscent of the tragic ecstasy of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' recent work as well as the borderless ambient music pioneered by Brian Eno, late composer Jóhann Jóhannsson's glacial compositions, and the electronic mutations of Coil.

Over the course of recent time, an aching, growing void has developed where our normal way of life has resided. Uncertainty abounds, and Steve Von Till's No Wilderness Deep Enough provides a voice of existential wisdom and experience to offer comfort and perspective in an era of uncharted territory. These six pieces of music shape a hallucinatory landscape of sound that plumbs the depths of the natural world's mysteries and uncertainties—questions that have vexed humanity since the dawn of time asked anew amidst a backdrop that's as haunting as it is holistic.

Von Till’s fifth solo album is a swirling and iridescent blend of ambient, neo-classical, and gothic Americana that swan-dives into the darkness of modern life, with the resulting emergence a sonic document of rural psychedelia that transcends the physical world—towards a greater spiritual acceptance that connects naturalism, spiritualism, and the corporeal form.

With a foundation of simple melancholy piano chord progressions embellished with mellotron, cello, french horn and electronic treatments Von Till's scorched ache spreads across the terrain of No Wilderness Deep Enough like a brushfire, adding a tactile level to his sonic creation as well as an inviting level of friction to the burning beauty painted across the album's framework.

With a foundation of simple melancholy piano chord progressions that came to fruition during jetlagged nights in his wife’s childhood home in Germany, No Wilderness Deep Enough was further embellished with mellotron and electronic treatments in Von Till’s home studio in North Idaho. Viewing the emerging result as an ambient instrumental album, he consulted friend and engineer Randall Dunn (Marissa Nadler, Earth) about adding live cello and french horn and piano in a proper studio. After enlisting Brent Arnold on cello and Aaron Korn on french horn, he challenged Von Till to sing over the music and make it his next solo album—which is exactly what happened, with final work being completed at Tucker Martine’s (the Decemberists, Neko Case) Flora Recording and Playback in Portland.
