Converge

Long running Boston hardcore and metal band Converge are back next year with new album "Love Is Not Enough."  Dig on the thrash metal-tinged banger title track below and pre-order the LP here from Epitaph.

Converge and Chelsea Wolfe

Converge and Chelsea Wolfe have teamed together for a new album called "Bloodmoon: I," and they've brought along Wolfe collaborator Ben Chisholm and Mutoid Man's Stephen Brodsky for the mayhem.  The sound of abrasive metal paired with haunting, goth-tinged female vocals just works for me in all the right ways (see last year's Thou and Emma Ruth Rundle collab for proof).  Check out the video for "Blood Moon" below and pre-order the album here from Epitaph.  It rules.

Converge - Endless Arrow

Just sitting at home for awhile?  Here's a 30-minute ambient drone track from long running metal band Converge to fill your time and your ear space.  Listen to "Endless Arrow" below and download it here.

Wear Your Wounds

I've been a big fan of Jacob Bannon's Wear Your Wounds project since first hearing it on a split 7" back in 2012.  Epic, heavy pangs of post rock and metal that's perfect for darkened skies and blackened souls.  Sophomore album "Rust on the Gates of Heaven" is out in July on Deathwish.  Listen to the title track below and pre-order the record here.

Wear Your Wounds

I first heard Wear Your Wounds, the wonderful side project of Converge's Jacob Bannon, years ago on a split single with the band Revelator.  And honestly, it's been so long since i last heard from them, that i kind of thought it was a one and done kind of deal.  Thankfully, i was wrong and it's not, as a full-length LP is due in April on Deathwish Inc called "WYW."  Listen to the moving and epic "Goodbye Old Friend" below.

Wear Your Wounds and Revelator

Wear Your Wounds is Jacob Bannon from Converge.  Revelator is Ben Chisholm, a member of Chelsea Wolfe's band.  The two have put out a split 7" featuring a noisy, doom opus from the former and a haunting, piano driven processional from the latter.  Unfortunately, the record is sold out, but you can still buy the digital tracks here.  In the meantime, listen to Wear Your Wounds' "Adrift In You" and Revelator's "Net of Gems" below.
