Converge: s/d

and when i say brutal, i mean brutal with deft hand, pinpoint control and finesse. that guitar line from start to finish, solo included, is the stuff of genius.

once a week or so i figure out one of the lyrics and the record gets heavier

^^ that's quite an abstract post, but i think i know exactly what you mean :)

yeah, i'm just saying, they're surprisingly comprehensible, considering that they're unintelligible howling

Christ Jane Doe is so incredible

all we love is spoiling more run-of-the-mill post-hc metally records for me, they can't crush and maneuver like it does

No Heroes popped on iPod Friday, apologies to all who were sat near me on the nightbus

god i love this record

CONVERGE SHARES NEW VIDEO
Watch "Precipice / All We Love We Leave Behind" at Pitchfork:
http://pitchfork.com/news/54784-converge-share-precipice-all-we-love-we-leave-behind-video/

Converge is proud to release the film/video for "Precipice / All We Love We Leave Behind", directed by Craig Murray (Converge, Oxbow, Narrows). Both tracks appear on Converge's 2012 full-length, All We Love We Leave Behind, out now on Epitaph/Deathwish Inc.

The video was conceptualized by Murray, using the narrative put forth of the death of a canine companion as told in J. Bannon’s lyrical writings. Murray uses powerful visual metaphor and imagery to communicate the crushing weight of loss and the strength of unconditional love the song explores.

"Eve" is amazing. I hope there's a new album coming.

the first side/half of The Dusk In Us is one of their best-ever stretches of music, as well as their most emo!

though I'm completely baffled that "Eve" was relegated to b-side status

FUCK

FUCK

I find it utterly bizarre that "Eve" was left off, feels purpose-built to be a Side A closer

maybe they'll add it on; the last album came in a deluxe version that added 2-3 tracks

this record is very good on first listen but man it's a lot to take in

I actually find it tidier and less overwhelming than AWLWLB

lol I said the Eve thing twice, no more drunkposting for me

Insanely good. I just expect that a new Converge album will be incredible.

I think "Murk & Marrow" is my favourite on first pass.

hard to tell bc all of their records are so good but i think this one probably earns the "best since jane doe" description

this opinion brought to you by how hard i am headbanging at home alone to "arkhipov calm"

Amen - this record is melting my mind today! Not sure where I would rank it, but I can see myself playing this as much as I can the last one or Jane.

why did they put the one that kills me right up front

the total sickness of the drums on 'trigger' is just ,

FUCK

It's nice to not have to strain to make out what Bannon is singing/speaking/shrieking/howling about for a change.

"We all disagreed about what the strongest songs were, and which songs made for the best record. I think we're all equally unhappy with what ended up on the album. It was a compromise. Some of the songs on that album are actually some of the weakest ones that we recorded, and some of the ones that aren't on the album are the strongest. We're just not exactly sure how we're going to release them yet. Whether it's B-sides, or an EP, we don't know yet."

kinda wish they'd pulled a Young Machetes and just thrown 'em all in. the album already kinda has a swansong vibe

for your consideration

the intro to 'all we love' is the only dawdling buildup intro track i respect
