Sounds good to me.

Song is awesome, if a little short. Not really a fan of the artwork though. I love Bannon as an artist, but I feel his work really shines through his use of colour, even if it's subtle (You Fail Me) but it's just absent here.

I like that they decided to go for the 4 guys in a room raw sound, hopefully the album will rule hard

amazing

So it looks like I already have 3 songs off of this, cool

I don't see how this is in any way 'raw' or 'live sounding', decent song though, artwork is ok

Amazing

I am so fucking ready for this. Song and artwork both rule.

Song sounds great, artwork sucks!

This album is definitely Axe To Fall 2.0. A good thing, probably.

Not very good.

Very good.

Loved the song

Great song, excited for this release

Never could quite get into Jane Doe as much as others here but this new song here is fucking awesome. I will definitely be checking this out.

pretty cool

worst Converge cover art yet, but still cool
song rules

Yeah idk how I feel about the cover art... Deluxe version seems pretty rad, I hope the color art makes it worth it.

Pre ordered limited edition, fuck yeah. Song was tight, loved it. But agree on the subpar cover by Bannons standards. I get he's going for the iconic each time but I think he missed it with this one.

holy shit you can actually kinda sorta make out his lyrics

this is a goddamn revelation

great song and artwork is cool, gives a kinda morose vibe

Deluxe preorder now. Duhhh.

rules

I dig the art too.

When it comes to new Converge I can only count on cool album art but they couldn't even deliver that

Too many tracks, wont listen

nice song convinced me to distance myself further from this band

why would you want to distance yourself from converge?

lol

wow those scramz sounded awesome I'm so fucking stoked for this

oh yeah this is awesome

this song was fucking great

Converge just confirmed that the already released tracks (Runaway, On My Shield, etc) are rerecorded versions. Doesn't feel like double dipping as much now.

i fucking love this song. absolutely one of the best of the year

can hear words 0/5

$40 for the deluxe edition.
erh

seriously worst vocals ever

Vocals suck as usual, instruments rule though.

very cool

meh song. its kind of excruciating when bannon tries t o do anything other than the style hes always done (which he isnt even that good at these days)

Really not a fan of his yelling/tortured animal thing.

complaining about vocals now is dumb especially since some people didnt like them to begin with. The song itself is OK, nothing more nothing less.

Stupid comment.

i prefer his yelling on you fail me but hes still got it

"complaining about vocals now is dumb especially since some people didnt like them to begin with"

haha what

actually i kind of liked that

its liek i really hate these vocals. they sux.. but i never liked them so do they sounds any better now??

holy fucking shit this is so good. i'm so stoked. i might have to go to the NYC show.

toolpeth182

eyeswidegay

what are you talking about vocals are cool and fit the song

love the vocal transitions from cleanz to screamzz, album should be sick m/!!!!

boom

Song is fucking amazing. Artwork is fucking amazing. Definitely has a bit of a You Fail Me vibe to it, which is wonderful. So pummppppeeedddd!

artwork rules

matte swe?

Lelle - I do not know what you're saying.

Edit: Ohhh you're asking if I'm Swedish haha. Yeah, like half or so.

Ok cool, your username looks swedish so I figured.. ;)

Bout fucking time they released the album info. That 17 track deluxe version seems pretty ambitious but all 3 of the bonus tracks are from previous splits. I'm really excited to hear this and I can't wait to see em in october.

song isnt OMGz amazingz!1!! but its ight :P
album art is pretty meh tho

am i missing something here? the cleans suck pretty bad and the ending, which is like the only cool part of the song, is too damn short, the only good thing here is the instruments.

Didn't listen. Album/Art/Band/Song sucks.

Song owns.

fantastic

I liked the vocals.

this was surprisingly melodic

Surprisingly very good.

I like what they're doing I just don't like the song :/

This is really really good

Great song. The newer sound suits them far better.

Sick, can't wait.

Pretty good song. Artwork couldn't fit the album title any better. Finger prints, perfect!

Shame is in the Way...

dude all the songs on axe to fall were developed!! its hxc they only need a couple of minutes to kick your nuts thoroughly

oh ok i havent heard those

rules. as expected

i was referring to all the awful 3 second tracks theyve made for splits etc in the meantime

I definitely see where you're coming from. I enjoyed the tracks but they were nowhere near their best material.

but their albums all rule (besides halo) so this one should be no different

album art = mehhh gif

ughhh

"Full moons are overrated. This simple, yet awesome design, was pulled from the art work of All We Love We Leave Behind. A half moon slapped on standard fitting tank top." omg this will be tits.

potsy does this rule y/n can't decide if i should give a fuck and listen

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9hk85jLyt1qkpufco1_500.gif

meh

cool

Not bad for an opening track, it has a Last Light vibe to me. w/ 17 tracks, this album is going to be pretty huge. I hope it's epic as fuck.

did u know weepingbanana has a foot fetish

I feel this is gonna be a more "You Fail Me" approach to "Axe To Fall", and I'm totally cool with it.

I'm expecting atleast one 6 minute epic, that'll might make it 33 minutes.

my heart is already broken

Digging this song so far, glad I can sortof make out the lyrics now

i cried after this song

Reminds me of something off No Heroes. And that isn't a good thing.

its about 38 min long according to wiki. with the bonus tracks its around 45 min

What's up with bonus tracks apparently being spread throughout the album?

9/11 was done by converge

but potsy verge shits on massive attack promise

Song rules!

meh...was kinda expecting average, oh well

Pretty good song. Artwork couldn't fit the album title any better. Finger prints, perfect!

Really? I thought they were the cycles of the moon.

Runaway (Kanye West Cover). LOL.
New song is awesme

that was fucking awesome

Where are these track times coming from? Wiki is never cited, and unless there is a preorder on iTunes that says so, I'm remaining doubtful. I'm not expecting a 72 minute album or anything, but no way its 38:32/45:40.

me likey

This was so disappointing, sounds like YFM all over again. FUCK

no longer looking forward to this

"What's up with bonus tracks apparently being spread throughout the album?"

Cus it's awesome, they did the same thing on You Fail Me

Wow, I can understand what Jacob is screaming. That's a first. Really good song.

Song is decent

Wish Bannon's vocals weren't buried in the mix, but then again why would I want to hear them.

what's with this bonus track bullshit, first time they've done it

Not gonna lie, MMXs gif made me like the art a little more. Would have preferred it if it was just one phase of the moon though

"what's with this bonus track bullshit, first time they've done it"

They did it on You Fail Me

damn might have to go see them with Kvelertak and Torche

They did it on You Fail Me

they had like 1 bonus track on you fail me this is like 4 spread out across the whole album

"wasn't that a Jap bonus track or something though"

Jap bonus track is still bonus track

releasing two versions of an album in the same country =/= bonus track on a single version in another country because of a late release

I guess

Not sure what your anger over this is

it's not the 'DIY approach' to do two versions of the same fucking album

How does it effect that at all? It's just a few already released tracks thrown in to make people like me who bought the limited edition feel more special. You're getting pissy over nothing

I hope you feel really special getting bent over.

Damn that deluxe edition is expensive, but that art book looks so cool

Eh, since most CDs cost like 20+in Australia already, it's not that huge a leap tbh. And the art book looks worth it.

not sure about this one yet

Artwork's disappointing, but the song is pre-cool. I like that No Heroes-esque feel to it.

oh in U.S. that's quadruple the normal cost of a cd

^yeah, which pisses me off since Australian and US dollars are pretty much equal these days, but the cost of items over here hasn't changed to reflect it.

Song is pretty cool but I didn't find anything about it that really wowed me. Album is still going to rule regardless

wasn't that a Jap bonus track or something though

Does their other stuff sound like this at all?

this sounds like axe to fall and you fail me combined pretty much so yea

Preorder comes with hi-def download of this song. It's pretty awesome.

Axe to Fall was excellent, so a part 2 is fine by me.

Aimless Arrow – 2:23
Trespasses – 2:44
Tender Abuse – 1:25
Sadness Comes Home – 3:13
Empty On The Inside – 2:30
Sparrow’s Fall – 1:27
A Glacial Pace – 4:26
No Light Escapes (bonus) – 0:51
Vicious Muse – 1:52
Veins And Veils – 2:33
Coral Blue – 4:48
Shame In The Way – 1:57
On My Shield (bonus) – 4:14
Precipice – 1:47
All We Love We Leave Behind – 4:08
Runaway (bonus) – 2:03
Predatory Glow – 3:26



this is from the kingsroad-store, where you can order the special editions etc. So I guess the 38 minutes for the normal edition are correct

Funny how you could guess the lengths based on the titles. They're getting predictable hshs

Song is bad ass and i dig the cover(though i don't think he'll ever be able to replicate the bad assness of Jane Doe's cover).

Fucking pumped for this.

Does their other stuff sound like this at all?

All the people on every new fucking Converge thread still butthurt over the guests on Axe or Jane getting the #1 on that Sput decade list over some fucking Rush album PLEASE STOP AND GO INSULT THIS BAND ON THE HALO THREAD WHERE NO ONE CARES

People didn't liked the guesses in Axe? Why?

Aimess Arrow is awesome, artwork is good. looking forward, although I wish they wouldve added an epic 7+ minute song on it.

both the artwork and song remind me a lot of you fail me.

The deluxe CD comes in a 48 page booklet full of colour prints to go with the album, thats probably where all the colour is.
Good point was made about the simplicity of the 'face' of the album, since they have made this album raw and just the 4 of them. Who knows what crazy emotional complexities lie inside the pages =O
Excited for this release.

HEY GUYS THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU FAIL ME AND AXE TO FALL

been said before but those vocals are just awful. His previous style was preferable.

I have never been a huge Converge fan, but I like this. Will definitely give the full album a try.

What are people talking about? he is using his vocals in exactly the same way he has always done

song is awesome.

also, thank god the bundles are on the cheaper side. Snagged a White Deluxe bundle yesterday. $50 is nothing compared to the $750 bundles Circa had for their pre-orders.

I dont get why people call the vocals his new "style" either. Its not like he doesnt scream anymore now. He also sounded like this on the last albums, only in a few songs though (Trophy Scars, Last light). I think that 90% of the album will still be raging vocals rather than this singing/spoken style.

its going to be crazy

The main riff of this song is almost exactly like the end of "Drop out" from you fail me. Not a complaint, seeing as thats one of my favorite Converge songs

good, that was my fav converge. Looking forward to this, the vox are a lot better than before wich is a nice plus

wtf this doesn't sound like jane doe y did he change all of a sudden!/?@!!!!!!!!

still suckin i see

still dilchin'

oh shit

Cmon Riff their page even says hardcore y cant u see!!!!!!!!

I just pre-ordered this for 47 euro.
I am crazy

Song rules, album will rule.

preordered deluxe with white shirt [2]

love this more every time i listen to it.

converge

Preordered deluxe with black shirt [2.5]

"I believe that's called a hidden track. It's a very sneaky track."

Good one

The bonus track on You Fail Me, Wolves At My Door, isn't a jap track nor is it a hidden track. I have the european vinyl of it and wolves at my door comes right after eagles become vultures

i wuv artwork. i wuv song.

I kinda liked it.
