Stoked on the You Fail Me vibes, "Last Light" is one of my favourite Converge songs and this sounds similar.

preston (August 28, 2012)

Like the song. Like the artwork. Really liked Axe to Fall. Looking forward to this.

ArmageddonMan (August 28, 2012)

different vocals than jake's norm, but still a great band

Tudor (August 28, 2012)

Wow, that was really fucking good.

GlassPipeMurder (August 28, 2012)

more like Antioch Arrow, amirite?

ben koller absolutely rips this song to shreds. excellent drumming. axe to fall sucked, this sounds much better.

Tudor (August 28, 2012)

How can you at all be a fan of Converge and think axe to fall "sucked"?

InspectorMustache (August 28, 2012)

True. REAL Converge fans usually don't care about the music as long as it has the band's name on it.

Tudor (August 28, 2012)

I see the incredibly weak and stupid point you're trying to make here, if it wasn't for the fact that pretty much every single Converge album gains universal critical praise

InspectorMustache (September 7, 2012)

Wasn't really trying to make any point at all. I really like Converge. (Haven't yet listened to all of their albums though.) Didn't mean to offend anyone. Just feels to me like this band has an almost cult-like following. That's all.

droneclone (August 28, 2012)

But it's not like Axe to Fall was some HUGE departure for the band or something. It might make sense if it was someone's least favorite or whatever, but it doesn't really make sense to me either if someone LOVES the other albums and HATES Axe to Fall.

Tudor (August 28, 2012)

This man gets it.

iamgodsongs (August 29, 2012)

dude axe to fall was much stronger than you fail me, or no heroes. those albums were definitely the weakest converge albums, though still so much better than most heavy music.

Thumbs (August 28, 2012)

Holy shit, it actually sounds like a song!!!
(Keep in mind, I haven't heard anything else they've put out on Epitaph, so I have no idea if they actually started to sound like an actual band since their signing. But, their pre-Epitaph days are hilarious, and awful).

Tudor (August 28, 2012)

Not enough upstrokes and shitty horn sections for you? You're oblivious to any music outside your safe 1990's era epifat ska garbage, pretty pathetic.

Farkasok (August 28, 2012)

Omg someone doesn't like something that i do and they like something that i don't

i am so buttmad right now

raaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeg

Farkasok (August 28, 2012)

Dammit, I put this in all caps for dramatic effect.
Punknews, why do you deny my usage of allcaps?
Tsk tsk.

tudor (August 29, 2012)

It's not this comment specifically, it's the fact that this type of comment gets made on every single damn converge story on this site, and every time, it's the same user with that by-the-numbers org core musical taste without a fucking clue.

Thumbs (August 29, 2012)

Oh, please open my mind, oh wise one. May I take a seat in your bullshit course?
Converge, to me, is fucking garbage. The members of the band, minus that sorry excuse for a vocalist, are talented as fuck, but I believe they're just wasting it (or, before Epitaph, like I said prior). It's not music... it's fucking noise.

However, I listened to this new song with an open mind, and you know what... I didn't hate it at all. I even said "holy shit! It actually sounds like a song!". In my book, that's a compliment to this story... a story about the actual video / song. So, going off of this, I actually may check out the album it's on.

Also, I believe I've only made a similar comment about Converge ONCE before.

You're a piece of shit. Get off your high horse/

tudor (August 29, 2012)

If you had read my comment, you illiterate bag of gay assholes, you would have seen that I said I was not talking about you specifically, just generally.

It's "noise" to you, because you listen to pop music. No suprise, metal sounds like noise to my grandma too. Once again, grab a fucking clue and listen to something outside your linear realm of musical comforts.

davebrave4 (August 28, 2012)

Pretty sure neither Fat nor Epitaph has ever been known primarily for its ska bands....

droneclone (August 29, 2012)

I don't think that Jane Doe was on Epitaph and that is regarded by many as their best.

If you like this song (not sure if you do or if you just wanted to poke fun at the band) you should definitely check out their last three. All are excellent in my opinion.

stivy (August 28, 2012)

not even my gf can get me this orgasms.

SilentStorms (August 28, 2012)

My first thought was You Fail Me, as well. And yes, this drumming is fucking ridiculous.

theproblemwithfire (August 28, 2012)

sounds like meh.

easily one of the most overrated bands in metal/HC

misinterpreter (August 28, 2012)

haha

Tudor (August 29, 2012)

Did Jacob Bannon fuck your mom or something? I'm pretty sure that people who don't even come to this site know how much you hate Converge.

theproblemwithfire (August 29, 2012)

i'm pretty sure nobody but you remembers the negative remarks i make about converge from time to time.

i'd say something negative about your posting habits but i don't remember much about you or even care in the first place. get a real hobby, dude.

Tudor (August 29, 2012)

I only relate your name to Converge topics, so don't flatter your self.

Thumbs (August 29, 2012)

Same here. I believe I've made one negative comment about Converge before, and this Tumor asshole appears to have taken a magic marker and sprawled our names across his walls to hunt us down.

Dude's pathetic.

arejaypunx (August 28, 2012)

Holy shit!

superanncoulterfanclub (August 29, 2012)

The song appears to be trending towards the soundscape-y stuff like in "You Fail Me", and the Supermachiner side-project from Jacob Bannon and Kurt Ballou. If this album becomes more melodic (while as intense as "Axe to Fall"), it really should be a more interesting album.

I'm curious and emboldened.

tofuatomic (August 29, 2012)

Nice. Very nice.
