Good lord, that snare-china onslaught at the beginning of "Downpour" sounds like a whip is hitting the drums. Awesome. This comp from genre innovators and stalwarts Converge is a really good one, complete with six rare songs not on any of their LP's (which all could've slid easily into either Petitioning The Empty Sky or When Forever Comes Crashing), and seven assorted demos and live tracks, with the only other song being off of their debut, Halo In A Haystack. Needless to say, the six beginning tracks are phenomenal, especially ferocious opener "Downpour" and "Home Song" (which I believe was condensed into "Albatros" from Petitioning, as they both have the same riff). The demos are all pretty nice too, albeit inconsequential. It's a really good listen, though, and anyone who calls themselves a Converge fan should definitely have this under their belt.
