A Boston band whose intense sound has defined a corner of heavy music since the early '90s.
If you want to get what Converge does, put on 'Jane Doe' or 'Wretched World'. That's the sound, no compromises.
Converge matters because they've spent over thirty years refining a specific kind of sonic assault without ever diluting it. Songs like 'Jane Doe' and 'Wretched World' from their top tracks deliver that signature blend of metalcore and grindcore with a raw, emotional charge. They've built a dedicated following by sticking to their guns, even on later albums like 'The Dusk In Us'.
They formed in Boston and have put out eight studio albums, starting with early work like 'Petitioning the Empty Sky'. The lineup with Jacob Bannon on vocals and Kurt Ballou on guitar has been a constant, though they've brought in different textures, like featuring Chelsea Wolfe on 'Crimson Stone'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
