Converge

We've made it to another Friday. And today, a bunch of us will be getting together in one of AOL's recording studios to do our very first podcast. Pretty soon, you'll be able to not only read our words, but hear our unusual voices. Unusual because we're sure we sound nothing like you might imagine...

This fall, cartoon metal band Dethklok – stars of Adult Swim's 'Metalocalypse' – will co-headline a tour with prog-metal masters Mastodon. Massachusetts mathcore veterans Converge and stoner/doom masters High on Fire will open the show. "It's gonn...

Though it's been nearly four years since 'Black Thunder' was released, the band has been anything but idle -- they've released two studio splits (with Coliseum and Disfear), as well as a live double LP split

Irepress are entering into their 11th year together. But despite a decade-plus of togetherness and making metal, you may not have heard of the band, which plays an artsy, fusion-style of metal. Having sprung from the Massachusetts metal scene in the late 1990s, which was burgeoning with bands like Converge, Shadows Fall and Killswitch Engage, who were just getting their legs under them, Irepress

Converge used their just-wrapped one week club tour to preview some new material from their forthcoming record. Their one-hour set at Europa Night Club in Brooklyn, New York proved that even as they close in on 20 years as a band, they've lost nothing in intensity, tearing through standards like "The Saddest Day" and "Plagues" as if trying to avoid being shown up by openers Gen
