It was a busy week for us. Kurt and Jake spent the week working on their aspects of the album. Our old friend Sean came up to contribute to the album as well (check that out on Twitter). Lastly, Doomriders had some shows w/ Clouds in Philly and NYC, so Nate was out and about.

Here is some footage of Doomriders @ Europa in Brooklyn, NY:


So what's next? Much of the week will be spent on visuals for the album, while Kurt takes a week to record the Black Breath release for Southern Lord. More news soon.

05.19: Recording update: Vocals and guitars underway, etc.
Vocal and guitar recording is moving along. Kurt's amps came back from the repair shop just in time for tracking. He mentioned that his hands felt like stone after playing a few certain riffs over and over. I think that's a good sign.

I'm pacing myself vocally so my head doesn't turn to stone either.

That's it for now, more soon.

Welcome to the new "no frills" Converge site.
Thanks to Anthony Bennett for his work on the project, it is appreciated.

Keep checking back here for daily updates on the upcoming new album.

Along with this new, stripped down version of our website we've also launched a Twitter to allow people to follow us during our recording process for our new album. You can check that out at the link above. We are also working on an official Facebook page (none of them that are up right now belong to us), which will be up shortly.

So yeah, that's that. More soon, thanks.

Converge "Jane Doe" 2XLP Reissue coming soon
From deathwishinc.com:

A release date and Pre-ordering information will be announced shortly.

Originally released during the turbulent times in September 2001, "Jane Doe" was one of the darkest, bleakest, and most punishing acts of musical emoting ever committed to tape. "Jane Doe" took Converge's musical aggression, creativity and penchant for artistic nihilism-as-therapy to unparalleled emotional depths. While unmistakably Converge in sound, it reached harsher and more emotionally draining levels of abuse, relenting on, but not entirely abandoning, technical precision to focus on emotional upheavals and an all-or-nothing buffeting.

In the end, aggressive music would never be the same, as this 12-step conceptual journey of despair and loss, raised the bar musically and visually for the genre forever.

Later this year, Deathwish (under exclusive license from EVR) will reissue the classic "Jane Doe" album on vinyl format. Available or the first time in over 6 years, this 2XLP will be specially packaged in a Deluxe Gatefold sleeve and will be accompanied by a stunning 28 page full size booklet. The release will also feature a variety of vinyl color variations, appealing to collectors and audiophiles alike.
