Souls at Zero is the third studio album by the American post-metal band Neurosis. It was released in 1992 by the Alternative Tentacles record label. Their first album with Simon Mcllroy, Souls at Zero marked a shift in the band's style, moving away from the fast-paced hardcore punk influences of their early work towards slower tempos and greater experimentation. This change in direction would result in the album becoming one of, if not the first post-metal album.[6]

While initially met with a mixed and confused reaction, the album has since been praised as a pioneering work in Neurosis' discography. On February 14, 2012, a fully remastered version was released on vinyl by Relapse Records.[7]
