2009 marks the 19th year of Converge's existence as a musical outfit. AXE TO FALL is the bands 7th official full-length release. This record is more punk than any punk record released this year. This record is harder-core than any other hardcore record release this year. The same comparison applies to the metal genre. This band has never compromised its sound or aggression for any kind of mainstream acceptance and yet they've managed to achieve it in almost every subgenre and branch-off of it.
I cant even think straight right now. My senses are shredded. My nerves are frayed. I just had a panic attack and reverted back to some kind of primitive, animalistic way of thinking. God bless you Jake Bannon...you sick, scrawny tattooed motherfucker. Yer somethin different. Theres no doubt about that.
AXE TO FALL features a plethora of guest musicians including the likes of Steve Brodsky (Cave In), Adam McGrath (Cave In), John-Robert Connors (Cave In, Doomriders), Uffe Cederlund (Disfear, ex-Entombed), George Hirsch (Blacklisted), Brad Fickeisen (The Red Chord), Hamilton Jordan (Genghis Tron), Mookie Singerman (Genghis Tron), John Pettibone (Undertow, Himsa), Steve Von Till (Neurosis), and Sean Martin (ex-Hatebreed, Cage)
I just came to the realization that God can be explained through a mathematical equation and that his worth is set to value by a yearly audit. - Brian James/ Dope Sick Radio
