Converge Petitioning The Empty Sky Rar
CONVERGE has been around for a very long time. Like, almost 30 fucking years. It still boggles the mind to think that the band has been pretty much amazing for the last 25 or so, making little-to-no mistakes in a style of music that tends to attract an overabundance of opinions and judgements.
Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind This record is the best effort from Converge since Petitioning the Empty Sky. Bannon sounds like.
For me to try and give a proper history or account of the band's evolution over time would be downright redundant, unnecessary and time consuming. People have done it before and they've done it better than I ever could. So instead of wasting everyone's time, I'll just give you this relatively short piece that follows Dave's history of CONVERGE.
( lol, not that short)It all started for me when ' Jane Doe' came out, so I reckon around 2001/2002. I saw it mentioned everywhere and was getting into other Hydra Head acts like Botch, Cave In and Isis so I tried CONVERGE out.
My first thought.what the fuck is this? The vocals in particular were so banshee-esque in their shrill, potent shrieks that I partially recoiled, only to take a step closer and be knocked on my ass by the insanely technical and awkward instrumentals. Now don't get upset, I was determined to get to the bottom of all the hoopla, so I forged on and downloaded the entire ' Jane Doe' album. It was the most straightforward song on the record that finally hooked me and pulled me into the massive entity that is CONVERGE, and that was track five's 'Homewrecker'. Being only halfway crazy, it helped bridge the gap and soon I was in heaven. 1992 - Converge 7'EP1992 - Gravel cassetteEP1993 - Favorite American Marches cassetteEP1993 - Where Have All the Flowers Gone?
