The subreddit dedicated to the American metal band Converge
Converge is an American metal band formed by vocalist Jacob Bannon and guitarist Kurt Ballou in Massachusetts in 1990. During the recording of their seminal fourth album Jane Doe, the group became a four-piece with the departure of guitarist Aaron Dalbec and the addition of bassist Nate Newton and drummer Ben Koller. The band's style blends hardcore punk with heavy metal and they are considered pioneers of both metalcore and its subgenre mathcore.

I love seeing this in the living room every time.
After watching SWANS’s doc Where does a body end I questioned myself: shouldn’t there be a documentary similar ,regarding Converge? Not saying they were around for the same amount of time but I think their influence in music in general,style and aesthetics needs to be documented in detail. Am I wrong?
Would love to see some cool Jane Doe album arts
Hey! First post. I'm looking for a better photo or official photo of an old shirt I had about 14 years ago. I know it was referenced as being from a Japan tour. It's basically a vulture holding an anatomical heart. It was my favorite shirt back in the day and I'd love to get it tattooed
Buying a frame for this one. Won it from an auction for 20 bucks and I cannot be more happier.
Shoutout to this thread for the poster ideas

November 2006, No Heroes tour. I’ve had this print for years…pretty sure this was my first converge show.

Hi! I have a two-day pass for the festival this weekend in Brooklyn that I’m hoping to sell. I paid ~110 but I’m happy to sell it for ~80! Feel free to dm
Poster flag fits the room really good!
Either due to being old or a dumbass, or both, I bought a two day ticket to the Metal Injection Festival this weekend and forgot my friend had already bought them for me. Dice won't let me waitlist them since the show isn't sold out, so I would be willing to let the two day ticket go for an even $100 just to cut my losses. If you are interested let me know!
I am making my capstone movie for my senior year in high school and wanted to include a Converge song. The movie is about a younger brother who loves his older brother's music taste and wants to be "cool" like his older brother. At first his older brother rejects him but then realizes his mistake. During the scene when he realizes his mistake I wanted the part where the screaming of Jacob Bannon matches with the brothers anger at himself for treting his younger brother so badly.
Anyway just wondering if I have to pay for the licensing of the song or not.

also............................LONG LIVE CONVERGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was going through my cds and came across a copy of the Jane Doe demo CD-R that was released in summer of 2000. Pretty sure I remember picking it up from Curmudgeon Music in Edison, NJ shortly after the band passed through.
Am I correct in understanding only 100 of these were released? There is no number on my copy, but I also had transferred the cover insert (just a photocopied sheet) and CD to a paper sleeve, the jewel case and back insert (where I suspect the numbering may have been) were discarded. I’m wondering if there is a way to check to see when the songs were copied to CD-R to verify it is actually one of the 100 that were released.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
When I saw Converge live last year, Kurt sang the pre-chorus part that starts with "Left your throne in foreclosed homes" but on the studio version it sounds more like Nate. Do you know who it was on the studio version?
Not the same riff but super close, this ep came out 7 Years before Jane doe.

I recently traded one of my t-shirts for this and a Dance Gavin Dance one, which I’m also unsure if it’s authentic. What year is this t-shirt from and was it an exclusive for that time?
