Converge, biografia e news

Wear Your Wounds is the product of years of Lo-fi solo recordings by Converge founder Jacob Bannon. On this release he is joined by guest musicians Kurt Ballou (Converge), Mike McKenzie (The Red Chord, Stomach Earth, Unraveller), Chris Maggio (Sleigh Bells, Trap Them, Coliseum), and Sean Martin (Hatebreed, Cage, Kid Cudi, Twitching Tongues). Together they have created a powerful album that is unlike anything they have ever individually worked on. The album is contains ten emotional songs that call to the slower, more epic leanings of Converge, as well as his previous work in Supermachiner. Bringing to mind the multi-layered approach of Swans and early Pink Floyd, while being as vulnerable as influences Sparklehorse, Songs: Ohia, other like minded artists.

I write personal prose and personal songs within Converge but I think a lot of people don't hear a lot of the emotional vulnerability in that because of the volume we play at. When I sound like a monster, when I'm yelling at the top of my lungs, it's a little bit different than a more melodious approach, or a more laid back approach. Sometimes a narrative can be lost in the sheer volume of things.

Peccato e lo ribadisco "Eve" non sia stata inserita, sarebbe stato un perfetto pezzo di chiusura ed avrebbe alzato le quotazioni del disco.
