The iconic pioneers of metalcore – Converge - will kick off their 2008 UK tour on July 13th in London.
Since breaking out of the hardcore pack with the savage onslaught of 2001’s Jane Doe, Converge have been the band to watch, pacesetters who have consistently set the next creative level in aggressive music. Their Epitaph debut You Fail Me was named one of 2004’s 10 essential releases in Alternative Press.
Steeped in raw emotion, pure adrenaline and brute force No Heroes - the follow up to 2004's You Fail Me - was produced by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou and brilliantly combines the textural sonics of You Fail Me with the brutal assault of Jane Doe;
Praising the esteemed foursome, hard rock bible Kerrang! wrote, “There is no other band quite like Converge. Their music is possessed of a clawing desperation, a sense that any moment it can overwhelm the musicians and erupt into all-consuming chaos”
And Big Cheese championed the group’s “almost mesmeric power and raw, unbridled oh-my-god-this-is-amazing-ness they imbue in pretty much everyone watching them”.
Here are Converge's upcoming tour dates with Integrity and Coliseum:
13-Jul London Underworld UK
14-Jul Nottingham Rock City UK
15-Jul Glasgow Ivory Blacks UK
16-Jul Southampton The Brook UK
17-Jul Sheffield Corporation UK
