Converge has posted the first track, “Dark Horse,” on their myspace page here: www.myspace.com/converge Groundbreaking hardcore-metal band Converge will release their long anticipated new studio album, Axe To Fall, on October 20 via Epitaph (vinyl on Deathwish). Considered one of the most intense, important, and influential metal/hardcore bands ever, Converge continue their uncompromising evolution, experimenting and manipulating the fiercest form of music with the most aggressive album of the year, Axe To Fall. Songs like the hardcore pit-swirling "Effigy" (feat. Steve Brodsky/Lead guitar, Adam McGrath/Guitar, J.R. Connors/Drums), the furiously relentless neck-breaker "Wishing Well" (feat. Ulf Cederlund/Lead guitar/backing vocals) and the blazing thrash-track "Cutter" (feat. John Pettibone/backing vocals) keep the album moving with power and energy. As defiant as ever, Bannon roars through songs about despair and self-indulgent choices warning that "we'll show the demons for what they are." As the album comes to a close it takes a doom-ridden turn as Neurosis' Steve Von Till shares vocal duties with Bannon on the brooding track "Cruel Bloom" and Genghis Tron's Mookie Singerman providing lead vocals on the beautifully dark post-metal album closer "Wretched World." After 19 years as a band, Converge still maintain the steadfast individuality and uncompromising artistic vision they had when they formed. The band has been credited with giving rise to a genre of music and influencing bands worldwide, yet by never wavering have created a sound that is entirely their own. With the release of Axe To Fall on the horizon, Converge are readying an arsenal of music from their storied catalog to unleash on audiences across the US when they tour with Mastodon, Dethklok and High On Fire in October.
