Sovereign is the second EP by the California post-metal band Neurosis. As with the previous album, Times of Grace (and each Neurosis album since) it was recorded by Steve Albini at Electric Audio in Chicago, Illinois. The CD contains a mixed-media CD-Rom portion featuring visuals and music reminiscent of their live shows and their work under the Tribes of Neurot moniker.
Sovereign is also notable as the first studio release by Neurosis to be released on their own label Neurot Recordings. Hydra Head Records would handle the initial vinyl release, though Neurot would handle subsequent vinyl reissues. In 2011 Neurot Recordings released a reissue that included a bonus track entitled "Misgiven". It is however omitted from the 2016 remaster and digital versions.
