Originally formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1990, the influential hardcore/punk band Converge was one of the first to incorporate chaotic metal into hardcore. Besides the sound, the band maintained a complete aesthetic, defined by the art of frontman Jacob Bannon.
Bannon, an acclaimed visual artist, has also launched the hardcore label Deathwish and members of the band have worked in a number of other bands including Cave In, Doomriders and many other side projects.
