ABOUT

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.

Converge Doc

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?

Looking for a good photo

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

Metal Injection Festival

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!

Anyone know if Converge's cover of disintegration is public domain and if I can use it for a film I am working on?

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.

Jane Doe demo

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!

Who Sings The Pre-Chorus on Worms Will Feed / Rats Will Feast?

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?

When is this t-shirt from?

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?
