I don't know about you guys but I'm super excited for this. I hope they play some new songs when I see them October 3rd.

[ashyy]

I can't fucking wait. There are so many sick album's being released this year it's better than christmas.

Really looking forward to this!

[Ian D]

Every time I watch the teaser, I have to watch it at least one more time. That riff is just so good.

[HumanAbyss]

I can't wait. I fucking love Converge. What I'm a little sad about though is, nothing will ever top Jane Doe, but I love that they just keep going, it's good to see constantly good/decent albums.

[Ian D]

I actually like You Fail Me better than Jane Doe.

And When Forever Comes Crashing.

[HumanAbyss]

You Fail Me is my favourite song by them, but Jane Doe is my favorite album.

[ashyy]

Dark Horse.

[Ian D]

Oh god, I love it. It's like a twisted version of NWOBHM or something.

[editline]10:36AM[/editline]

Breakdown is MASSIVE.

[Atta|To|End]

Never heard of them, but now I love them.

[Ian D]

This bio they just posted has a couple of little spoilers about guests and stuff:

And even if you don't care about that, it's still a really good read.

[Atta|To|End]

Someone needs to stop rating everything dumb.

[Ian D]

I still can't fucking believe they got the guitarist from Entombed to play on their album. That's gotta be like every hardcore band's dream.

Saw these guys at the Dethklok/Mastodon show, was the first time I'd ever heard them.
I'll pick this release up soon, if you say it might be your favorite. I really enjoyed their live show.

[WillyRoger]

I got this the other day.
Haven't listened to it a massive amount but it's pretty good. Seems a lot more accessible than their other albums. I'm not sure why.

[ashyy]

Got the CD and the limited tshirt design that was on deathwish (which looks sick)

Album of the year for me. Feels like I'm having my face ripped off.

[Banned?]

Saw these guys live on the Mastodon/Dethklok tour. Not my style of music at all, but the guy worked with the crowd well.

[Hail Satan]

Maybe, I don't listen to this sort of stuff a lot, but I like Axe to Fall.

[Ian D]

Loving this album so much. The title track is RELENTLESS.

[MuayKorat]

meh, i kind of think the version in the teaser video was better, i liked the drums alot more.

album is amazing. tbdm and converge both release their best albums yet this year, starting to make me fucking stoked for future releases.

now black flag just needs to release the heaviest metallic hardcore album ever and i can die happily
with henry singing ofc

[WillyRoger]

I still prefer You Fail Me and No Heroes.

Oh and Jane Doe.
