Formed in Salem, MA in 1990, Converge is to modern metal what the Ramones were to punk, with albums like "Jane Doe" and "You Fail Me" considered touchstones of the genre. "Axe To Fall" takes the band's maverick attitude to new highs; with leader Jacob Bannon finding searing melodies amidst the chaos of chords that is their hallmark, while the band's sound finds richer textures and deeper hooks than ever before. For fans of Every Time I Die, Mastodon, Parkway Drive, Bring Me The Horizon, Darkest Hour, Norma Jean and Slayer.
