Dave Riley's backing vocals on Kerosene were spectacular. Did he gargle with honey before live shows?

Not honey, no.

What's that [noise] on the first track of Neurosis' Eye of Every Storm:
You lie in the snow [noise] cold but not dead
Stare in the sun [noise] long since its last heat

Without having the track sheet in front of me, I'll speculate that it was one of Noah's manipulated samples. He is phenomenally creative with those abstract sounds. One sound that appears several times on the record is the sound of whistling bottle rockets played at half-speed and layered in reverse, but the one you mention is more of a roar, and I don't know what it originated as.
