Live Kult: CONVERGE – Club Europa [Brooklyn, 2009]

When hardcore stalwarts CONVERGE rolled through New York last spring to play Brooklyn’s Club Europa, MetalKult grabbed our cameras and posted up to capture all the twisted riffs, guttural barks and flying bodies that a Converge show brings.
During that show the Massachusetts four-piece—made up of singer Jacob Bannon, guitarist Kurt Ballou, bassist Nate Newton and drummer Ben Koller—debuted a couple of brand-new tracks, “Wishing Well” and” “Axe to Fall,” which would eventually make their way to the band’s current release, Axe to Fall (Epitaph).
To celebrate the release of Axe to Fall, which hits stores today, we’re pleased to present that March 27, 2009, show in it’s entirety.
And when you’re done with that, check out our Q&A with Bannon and Ballou.

Get out of our scene poser. Go listen to your white chapel records and tweet about how br00tal you are.
yeah converge has been around for almost 20 years and wether you get what their doing or not its doesnt matter cuz converge does what they want listen to Petitioning the Empty Sky, it blows my fucking mind. also i hope your joking when you say “I LISTEN TO CANNIBAL CORPSE AND BRUTAL SHIT” your a fucking douche, also converge is not a metal band in my mind, they are a hardcore band and always have been. on the note younger kids listening to converge, where im from they dont they all play/listen to all those bands who do the same shit over and over again breakdown after breakdown i.e whitechapel and those other fagget bands. also im only 17 and i hate that stupid shit everyone thinks is heavy today because it so
corporate and contrived but you just don’t see it.
