[firemusic82]

That snare sounds fucking awesome!

[onanotein]

these guys just made my day... again.

[oberpupsbackeman]

Do they record "live" really?

[M10rpzt]

i'm a poor lonsesome musht

[OmgSoBr00tal]

thank you converge

[paengkee]

not used to seeing nate and jake so relaxed

[JonEastling23]

What cymbals is he using here?

[agaaragraokoaa]

鬼カッコ良い！！

[paengkee]

i wish they kept the dbeat part at 0:40

[hojima]

@paengkee ... no.

[ANTHMX]

WOWWWWW, THEY MUST COME TO MEXICO CITY !!!!!!!

[jabrushay]

Everything sounds awesome except the snare...wth is up with that...it needs to be a bit deeper...I think...but I don't know much! :( I do love the music though I think it's just a matter of time! :)

[phisylus]

This album isn't over produced at all. It's honestly produced perfect. It sounds so real. No where close to over produced so shut your fucking mouth! The best produced album in my opinion is Brand New's The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me. Axe To Fall comes in 2nd.

[boblovesBTBAM]

@phisylus Both cd's are so great. seriously.

[z0mB1Fi3d]

Is it just me or are the hammer-on bits in this song reeeeeallllyy tricky to master on guitar? Such a fantastic riff aswell, just pretty difficult for me haha

[livefortheshack]

@z0mB1Fi3d amen i can play most things but i tried learning this and had to show a mate like "am i crazy or should i be able to play this" you are not alone!!!

by most things, i still suck!

[CocoaShunter]

Nate, please bring Old Man Gloom back. Thanks.

[Sebastian781]

Whatcha doin back there Jake? haha

[justinelroddd]

is this song even on the album?

[richardsucksx]

@justinelroddd This song is called "Axe to Fall" on the record "Axe to Fall". You shouldn't have a problem finding it.

[Shakeeeeeee]

@justinelroddd it's the title track you fucking idiot

[justinelroddd]

@Shakeeeeeee haha holy shit. chill. i was thinking of the wrong album anyway. thanks for bein a buddy! :)

[Trytobedifferent]

i can't wait for a video like this with new material.

[maoriguy]

Its as if someone said to Kurt Ballou "Here's the keys... Go to town!" This riff is insane! They don't need to be more simple, there's a million other bands doing that simple shit already!

[adamledrew]

YEAH!!! slammin er down

[BPL1980]

If Converge albums actually sounded like this - maybe I'd be able to listen to them.

As it is though, their recorded output is ridiculously over-processed, or otherwise fucked-with in the computer and it ruins it.

Not to mention the generally stupid vocals and laughable lyrics.

Be more simple Converge!

[Joochuk]

@BPL1980

"laughable lyrics"

that statement is so false i cant even consider it an "opinion"

[kersedsaint]

@BPL1980 So you're crying because the album is too over-produced? Are you fucking kidding me? And this is your reasoning for not listening to a band that busts their ass off every record to make something different having each song has it's own entity... Laughable lyrics? Have you read Jane Doe lyrics?

Your opinion is shit. Get fucking dead.

[Press1ToParty]

@BPL1980 Simple? That's hilarious. Go listen to something "simple" then. Converge are not a simple band, nor will they probably ever be.

[richardsucksx]

@BPL1980 You obviously have never been to a Converge show to experience the wonders that band has to offer.

[darkhellion]

I was thinking on matching some vocals to that....i decided not to because no matter how well i do i will still ruin it.

[dancefloorkid]

ben...sometimes your drumming makes me want to cry.

[afanofyou]

I fucking love converge

[BleedFromWithin666]

Damn the drummer is so amazing

[adrugfreeamerica]

Converge is a band of multi-talented multi-fascited artists. up and coming musicians should aspire to the d-y-s ethos

[moshmartyr]

@adrugfreeamerica I think you meant to say "DIY" (from someone old enough to remember Letraset paste-ups)

[Sokfetisjist]

Absolutely right about Kurt. Just saw Converge two days ago and he is always ripping, especially on Dark Horse, crazy riff

[Aparashi]

God damn ot all to hell why can't I find a drummer this good to jam with

[PiErRe6363]

at : 1:15 its so fucking good!

[ijuhytrgfrdes]

"I NEED TO LEARN TO LOVE ME"

[mightywarriorx]

This is not metal. Just good mathcore/metalcore.

[novemberunderground]

i'm punching holes into the wall as i listen to this.

[BartiSAW]

I just came as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1919ii]

cool

[atreyujuggalo666]

OMFG dude this is amazing FUCK my mind is blown this is real metal right here damn soo technical no buttery soo ..... speachless

[Devaprakash777]

@atreyujuggalo666 -This is a amazing song, but this is mettalic hardcore, not metal, but anyways fuck genres, great song

[m0410450]

wow , who fucking did the mixing for the album ? this video has so much rawer sound, and much heavier, lol

[wearafrown]

oh, you are one of those guys. Come on, the record sounds perfect, if their record sounded like this you would be complaining, I'm sure.

[m0410450]

@wearafrown well, the truth is, if I never heard this version, I wouldn't have complained. ok, maybe the record sounds perfect, but too perfect? what I like about this video's sound is that, the bass drums sounds so solid and real when he hits the cymbols. Though the double kick part in the CD comes out really nice, and the toms too. though, for me the CD is kind of too Distorted, like You can so clearly hear the beauty of his cymbols here, but it's all a big crash sound in the CD

[m0410450]

@wearafrown and like the guitar is more muffled in this video though that made hear more than what I hear on the CD. I 'll take the comment abut the mixing. it wasn't an aweful job. it's just I liked this video version a bit better. Though, Axe To Fall was still a Kick Ass album and I was very happy at the day it arrive my house, and am still very happy that I bought it. P.S. I personally liked the sound of the drums on the CD "YOu Fail ME " the best.

[NAGOLSNAGOLS]

nate uses orange heads kurt uses a badcat head they both use first act guitars which you can buy at wal-mart suprisingly but if you want a decent one you can order it off there website

[wolvesandredcarpets]

so much win

[moshmartyr]

Their sound just gets me so fired up. Just wicked heavy and tube-amp bass is so win

[pyfcio]

great!!! much better than on the album!!!

[jerefoxleycba]

Frickin killer!!!!

[29A]

What amps do they use?!? I MUST KNOW!

[CristallSkull]

Nate Newton uses Orange heads (ad200 i think) and i don't know what does kur use

[kattskrall]

orange

[LogarytmNaturalny]

@tanatopraxia1: yep.

This version is better than album version ;f

[emogrindcore]

...yeah, i like this one better too.

[tanatopraxia1]

thats jacobb sitting on the floor?

[xswollenvoicesx]

Nice.

[hoitbernard]

Can I use this song in a Star Trek Online Beta Gameplay video?

I wont be making any money off of it just watch my videos and you'll see what I mean.

[atarax12]

No. Please, no. For the love of god, NO.

[DestinyxFreak45]

amazing fucking song.

I love converge.

[shaolinkin]

wwow, i first saw this vifeo like a year ago and im just now seeing bannon in the corner most likely writing lyrics.

[THRASHjoey]

[stevekelly]

[madeofmetal7067]

Axe to Fall

[xgTfox]

axe to fall

[randomrocka]

Pure Chaos!!

[117badnews]

[stupid9i7]

[YouCanCallMeJustin]

@DarksMusic You're awful.

[kersedsaint]

@DarksMusic

LOL FAIL.

[rdromero]

dbeat

[RJN88420]

any word of a video from the new album?

[xIAMDAVEx]

there is one, axe to fall

[trulsno]

And he fucks the album version off with all the double pedal bullshit!

[trulsno]

The blast-beat part at 0:44 is so damn cool, and i CANNOT understand why they don`t have it on the album version. This Version is so much better. sound and everything! The Album is great, but I like this version of this song better!!

[kylecharron1212]

The drumming in this is so much better than the studio version! Especially at the beginning

[Anonymous122131]

@kylecharron1212 I disagree, I think the album version is more varied, frantic, and angry.

[TheDallyLama]

@Anonymous122131 yup most definitely. i think they were just figuring how they wanted to piece the riffs together lol

[j0intvEnture]

@kylecharron1212 agreed

[IndianMetalhead]

cant say im really a fan of this bands studio work...

but i saw them support dethklok and mastodon and moshing to them was so much fun!!

[GimmeThatChicken]

Is Jacob on a macbook? maybes typing up some lyrics! Haha :D

[ChrissnKiss16]

Just heard this shit live last night. Fucking bomb.

[rh117]

axe to fall nigga

[Trinovantes1]

banning in the corner lol

[jimmyjimmyjamesjames]

hey HarvestMn: Why even leave a comment? Are you bored? Go listen to Barry Manilow and quit being an assclown.

[Warhead182]

Taken from wikipedia:

"Music is an art form whose medium is sound."

"Music ranges from strictly organized compositions, through improvisational music to aleatoric forms."

Fact 1. Either you like it or not, this is music.

Fact 2. Good, bad music, doesn't matter how you label it, what matters is what you feel when you listen, you feel nothing when you listen to Converge because you criticize and insult instead of listening and enjoying the band's work.

Fact 3. You are a retard.

[maggotsandriots219]

michaeldark: for every person that ignores his playing, 2 suck his dick (rightuflly so) for his mastery behind the boards.

[michealdark]

Indeed rightfully so. He really is the link between the chaotic, grindy form of screamo from the 90's (though most people would never call them "screamo" because of the connotations it has today), of bands like Orchid, Saetia, Pg. 99, and Heroin, and the modern, mathemtically complex and technical form of hardcore.

[dethklok1993]

leaving out integrity there

[BartiSAW]

This lo-fi take is way better than that from the album

[michealdark]

Kurt Ballou doesn't get enough respect as a guitarist. Guy's crazy complex, but because he doesn't solo that much, he tends to get ignored. Especially since flashy and complex solos are in vogue again (which I like, but they're not the only part to guitar playing people!)

[ThePhantomnaut]

It's all about the rhythm.

[Wazzage]

"are in vogue again" hahaha nice

[michealdark]

Hey, they are. And I have nothing against that. Give me a good solo any day. It's just that's not the only way to present technique in song.

[secretsquirrell13]

@michealdark shit!....i fuckin love it.

[stxguy911]

@michealdark Well said man. He's also an underrated producer/engineer.  He has consistently created the most raw, energetic and original recordings

[michealdark]

@stxguy911 I just heard again and man, Kurt's breakdowns....A lot of people need to listen to him. He does the most creative breakdowns of anyone since early 90's Dimebag. They never sound traditional. They never rip anyone off. They never sound samey. But they're all recongizable as hardcore style breakdowns.

[FaderSemen]

@michealdark Word. In my book, respect is more than earned for those fucked up riffs.

[makeithurtful]

Love converge, but just like No Heroes, Kollers drums sound a little too over produced on Axe To Fall. I miss the echoey, punishing smashes off his kit from Jane Doe. Oh Well.

[youdickhed]

this video is far better than the new one

[trulsno]

1:29! HEAVY!!!!

[jhop5150]

totally different snare sound on the album though

[jhop5150]

Have you ever seen anyone punish the drum like that!?

[oodeyyou]

this is pretty awesome

[LeonardShelby09]

If by pretty awesome you mean FUCKING SAVAGE

[francescorossi29]

crazy

[mattwalker21]

I had to miss seeing them tonight and it's absolutely killing me.

[hilikus8]

Fucking Axe to Fucking Fall

[Buryyourdead3891]

what is this song??

[silentjay2]

this is the title track from axe to fall

[sXecOlLaPsEsXe]

i fuckin love this band! most amazing hardcore band ever!

[Acey83]

Sick, epic, orgasmic, brutal, Converge.

[scaryfried]

sick breakdown

[jimmyjimmyjamesjames]

I think I had a mini O.

[jibuzzz]

Kurt is so sick !

[modocp]

love the breakdown

[Noblenight]

To be honest i like this version more than the one on Axe To Fall =s

[duraiden]

I agree, I think this sounds better than the album version.

[jobencore]

unfortunately i agree with this statement

[culas25hc]

I can't wait for the new album....The No Heroes is my favourite album, so I think I will like the new record. But I like all of their albums!!!!!!!!!!!

And this song is amazing!!!!!

[surmattu]

Kick ass.

[DANxCHORIN]

How the fuck does Kurt play the guitar part?

[babygage2108]

really good

[lurescraft]

Sick sick sick...noiser

[csillagasz]

beautiful

[hugewolf666]

ben added a lot of fills on the recorded song.

[halofourteen85]

where's the recorded version?

[biet666]

converge forever!!!

[DaddyLongLegs]

i'm kind of sad they didn't put in that small d-beat at :42 in the final song... I always liked that part.

[leebekben]

Hell yeah! Bring that shit on!

[HellhammerMario]

The recorded version of this song is so fucking intense. I can't wait for this record to come out.

[orangesfromlondon]

This is going to kick serious ass.

[0stereoholik0]

[brianb19]

[marduk111]

[yesmanhead]

[alterofmetal]

[DeathnRoll]

A dio Volante! Converge is the Reason!

[daizerbo]

[youdickhed]

[countmeoutHC]

[ohthebloodshed]

wow, dark horse alone got me excited but damn...this album CAN NOT come soon enough.

[LegalDuck]
