Converge have their first update on a new album since it was first mentioned in March. The long-running technical hardcore pioneers said this, via drummer Ben Koller:

There's some really rad stuff on the way in the Converge camp. Almost a whole new record of material is written!

The band's last album was the 2009 release Axe to Fall and it was followed by a split with Dropdead. The band also mentioned plans for a DVD release sometime soon.
