Converge writing next album?

"A bunch of new songs in the slow cooker"

converge

Converge drummer Ben Koller shared an image on his personal Instagram account showing off some of his "new toys".  The post also gives fans a glimpse into what may be going down in the Converge camp as of late. It looks as if the band is planning/writing for the band's next release.

Converge recently announced a few May tour dates featuring Brutus and Frail Body.

Koller posted the following to his account:

@converge may have just written the heaviest riff of our career. Bunch of new songs in the slow cooker. Smelling real good so far. Rehearsal was about 10x better this time around thanks to my 3 new favorite toys: @officialtamadrums birch/walnut kit, @liquiddeath @sjcdrums snare, @yamahamusicusa EAD10 🫡🥁

No more… Con🥱verge… let me😴sleep

Legacy act. Will be doing big package tours in ampitheatres in a few years with other heavyweights of the time as the credibile "bands band" opener.

anonymous 3/9/2023 12:43:37 PM

converge was never good. vocals suck, mathcore sucks, the art is a rip off. unlistenable noise. no one actually likes this music. they just pretended to

anonymous 3/9/2023 12:44:46 PM

Proud to have never heard a full converge song, those guys suck ass.

anonymous 3/9/2023 12:57:26 PM

Dogs that bark at mailmen are stoked

Todd Jones here. Long story short but during the sessions for NAILS: Arcing Blood Fountain Birthed Via Atomized Dimensional Blade I, Kirk suggested that we run my guitar signal through an actual corpse before it got to my fourteen DIMED Splawns, so we went to the Charter Street Cemetery at 1am on a MOST-GRIM and FROST-KISSED enchanted moonlit eve with shovels in tow. Needless to say, the late-January NoMa temperatures made it impossible for the shovel's blade to pierce the concrete-like soil as we attempted to plunder the absolute dismal depths of the molded-over mausoleums from the days of yore. We became so frustrated that I had Ole' Kirkdawg text Bannon at 3am. Lil homey was not happy about being awoken from his freaky-deeky night elf regenerative sleep cycle, but to his credit, he showed at Godsmack City. Less than an hour later, Bannon's remains were "twitchin' 'till Tuesday!" with a barrage of evil, electrified B.C. Rich riffs. HIDE. VISIONS. LATERED. He will never be one of us.

Bravo, TJ. Bravo.

anonymous 3/9/2023 2:30:16 PM

"skronky skronk dun dun dun waaaaaah" that's what it sounds like probably

anonymous 3/9/2023 2:38:23 PM

"oh my god WHO. THE HELL. CARES." Anyone with this sentiment, really, why the hell are you here?

Smells like diarrhea

anonymous 3/9/2023 4:20:17 PM

Entombed > or = Converge, or Converge >. They should tour either way so I could attend

anonymous 3/9/2023 4:23:04 PM

Five dollar footlongs are stoked.

rick____tocchet 3/9/2023 5:04:35 PM

^^ Dude was right about how no one actually 'liked' this band, they only listened to them cause they thought it was cool.

anonymous 3/9/2023 5:40:05 PM

the only good hardcore band. the rest are for 18 year old kids who will become graphic designers and listen to Drake by their mid 20's

anonymous 3/9/2023 6:30:02 PM

Isn't Jake a graphic designer? And don't sit there and tell me at least half those dudes don't like Drake.

anonymous 3/9/2023 6:42:41 PM

Through Jane Doe = classic. If you think otherwise you're a a dum dum.

anonymous 3/9/2023 6:53:07 PM

^ you fail me

anonymous 3/9/2023 6:56:24 PM

Is Rick disabled?

anonymous 3/9/2023 6:59:57 PM

I remember when Lambgoat used to worship Converge. Times have changed. Band still rips though.

anonymous 3/9/2023 8:35:54 PM

Who is this Todd Jones character and why doesn't he write for Lambgoat.

Bannon's a terrible vocalist but I've liked everything they've done except for the bland Chelsea Wolfe collaboration. Used to be a big fan, but Wolfe's prior album sucked and she brought the suck with her onto the Converge collaboration.

anonymous 3/9/2023 8:53:38 PM

It kind of went into dad metal vibes after no heroes…

anonymous 3/9/2023 10:31:06 PM

" converge was never good. vocals suck, mathcore sucks, the art is a rip off. unlistenable noise. no one actually likes this music. they just pretended to" ^this all day. Tryhard nerds

anonymous 3/10/2023 12:05:56 AM

I swear the real Todd Jones commenter is ITT and there's a poser lurking elsewhere. Well done.

anonymous 3/10/2023 3:05:09 AM

Ironically, Bannon was good when you couldn't hear the absolute 14 year old girl diary level lyrics he was shouting.

anonymous 3/10/2023 5:49:21 AM

the pop ups on this site are hideous

anonymous 3/10/2023 6:37:08 AM

todd jones novels is the same guy who did srj if you pay attention and the code can be cracked by lg eyes… both are unfunny and will never be in the persona hall of fame

anonymous 3/10/2023 6:37:44 AM

nailed it ^

anonymous 3/10/2023 6:52:24 AM

Lol @ the haters here. Converge keep getting better.

anonymous 3/10/2023 10:17:58 AM

Official Press Release: Tramp, Drifter, and Scout put in some elbow grease to help me (Keith) work on my shopping cart last night (wheels about to fall off again, symbolic of life?) and while doing so they helped me write a few lyrics for our up-and-coming acoustic southern rock Buffalo-based busker unit, Free Bread Hoax: "Why is it so hard to get even a piece of bread, let alone a loaf / When we have a real leader in office instead of that old orange oaf / But the real challenge lies ahead / What to even put on this bread / Leave it to a close knit brotherhood of friends to solve this / When we put our minds together it is always pure bliss / We slather our bread with feces from the anus / But only after we marinate the bread with piss" Free Bread Hoax braintrust is [l. to r.]: Keith Buckley, Tramp Hossenphepper, Drifter McGillicuddy, and Scout Sassparilla

anonymous 3/10/2023 10:37:32 AM

☝️ Hall of Fame worthy post. Finally. But we had to sit through all the todd jones junk (essay and 10+ fawning comments), which were all done by the same berk.

anonymous 3/10/2023 11:11:41 AM

Ironically, Bannon was good when you couldn't hear the absolute 14 year old girl diary level lyrics he was shouting. >>> Ironically you say those lyrics are something a 14 year old would write yet misspell the word diary like a 14 year old, you idiot. The letter i is nowhere close to the letter a for you to misspell that word.

anonymous 3/10/2023 12:53:44 PM

^^^ Holy shit. It's Alex from Shriners

anonymous 3/10/2023 11:16:12 PM

Bannon looks like Schmeagol and the arrogance is on overdrive. Crossed arms stage potato hardcore

anonymous 3/11/2023 11:32:38 AM

Lots of people just eager to spout about how much they hate Converge while willingly seeking out an article that mentions them just so people know they don't like the band. Get a life.
