  • This song is fucking vicious; amazing stuff, this album is best one since Jane Doe I reckon ;-) I do believe I hear George Hirsch at 0:51

  • man converge got good, i dismissed them for so long, but this album is fucking amazing. i saw them almost 10 years ago and all the bands that played with them that night are kaput (except thrice who opened that night and played on the floor). saw them recently with dethklok and man they destroyed the fucking place.

  • i love converge, but the music videos are terrible. what the hell?

  • the music videos are appropriate for their songs. it's just right man. :))

  • Yes it is.

  • The new cd's got some badish reviews, but this song sounds good to me, productions seems better than the last one and its a bit heavier. Anyone got the new CD? is it good?

  • It's album of the year. Every review I've seen has been 8.5 and up, I don't know where people are getting the idea that it's getting bad reviews from. Heaviest shit released all year.

  • I downloaded it 4 months ago and pre ordered it had it before it was released. I love it man, its good.

  • check out sputnikmusics reviews for axe to fall, it has a great reception there, plus rolling stone and pitchfork are retarded.

    I think it's up there with Jane Doe, much better than the last two.

  • gotta  love converge

  • cute kitty at 0:14!!!

  • lol

  • what genre would you consider converge to be?

  • Hardcore/mathcore

  • thank you

  • Extreme metal. They come from Hardcore and Punk roots.

  • yeah noticed they had some hardcore punk breakdowns

  • I dont think you could categorize converges music they have been around a long time and since the beginning have influenced so many musicians. It still does not surprise me that still till this day people in the heavy music scene dont know who they are. I guess if every word is not enunciated perfectly in a song or the vocalist uses something besides growls or pig sequels now a days people just dont get it. This video fucks with your mindI love it.

  • worst metal vocalist ever

  • Instruments are good, but they would be better if the band wasn't going for the sound its going for now.

    Vocalist is shit

  • You know what you're getting with converge, so don't complain about the vocals, douche-nozzel, just enjoy the music for what it is

  • No I didn't, you scabby twat. I saw they were playing with Mastodon and Dethklok, so I though I would check them out.

    Needless to say, I was disappointed.

  • Haha typical mastodon and deathklok fan. Enjoy your autotuned overproduced metal mate. I don't know why converge agreed to do that fucking tour

  • damn, i have the biggest boner now.

  • i think either you have an ear for this band or you don't. no use in everyone trying to convince each other that their subjective opinion should be someone else's.

    I for one love Converge, and think they've gotten better every album.

  • this shit rules SO FUCKING HARD

  • The sound quality on this is appalling.

  • fuck this video rules

  • These guys aren't bad, I just wish their vocals were mixed in a bit louder.

    It's almost like he lacks confidence, which is odd, coming from a band that's been around for almost 20 years.

  • kvlt man, it's kvlt.

  • uh... Thursday fucking sucks

  • converge = FAIL!!!!!!

  • tetsuo

  • Converge... Le meilleur groupe du monde !!!

  • viooooleeeeence!!!

  • Somebody has been listening to swedish metal :P, also this song reminds me a lot of Trap Them.

  • If you think you enjoy "metal" and you don't rock out to this song, or think any of it is "shite," I invite you to shove every Dillinger/Impending Doom/Architects/whatever record up your asshole. This band has been fucking shit up for the better part of twenty years. Every band you like listened to Converge when they were smoking bowls in their attic at 16. So once more, please go fuck yourself if you don't like this band. THANKS! :D :D :D

  • you're right dude, i'm 20 and they've been playing music even before i was alive. gotta respect them for that. i saw them last tuesday in their japan tour, they were awesome as i expected. converge never failed me.

  • The quality of the youtube videos are so bad, that's why it sounds like noise. This album is much more accessible then Jane Doe, which I do prefer. And it's not garbage, fuck you.

  • the last 39 seconds are good... the first 60 is just shit

  • I don't understand what the hell's wrong with some of these people. this band's always like, crunk as hell lolol all their cd's since When Forever Comes Crashing were fucking good

  • pure noise

  • this is actually the most listenable converge song i've ever heard. and its still shite.

  • exactly, i don't understand it, theres nothing to it, and is not that im not a fan of the genre, i'm a huge fan of architects and dillinger but this is just..... noise

  • Architects is a metalcore band with some guitar wanking, can't be compared with Converge. Dillinger has got much Converge influence in them. You should check a album like Jane Doe, or better their whole discography, because every one of them is unique, esspecialy with songs like jane doe and worms wil feed.

  • i've heard alot of converge, and listened to all of jane doe and i can see they are unique in their writing but i simply find it unlistenable. also i named those two bands just as examples of aggresive music, not similar to converge, but i can see there is structure and talent in what they do, im not denying that

  • No structure? It maybe doesn't sound structured because of the odd time signatures, but its still structured. It's also quite difficult to play, and no, this is surely not grindcore, a good blend of hardcore and mathcore, more mathcore tho. @ kisslovegun77, how can you compare a progressive metal/sludge outfit with this guys?

  • no it isn't. bands like the berzerker and today is the day are grindcore. this is metalcore.

  • Today is the day are not grindcore.

  • This is Metalcore? It's Chaotic Hardcore if you want to put it in a genre.

  • Chaotic Mathcore

  • Metalcore is the 90's rebranding of Grindcore (when Grind had become an unpopular term) which is a mix between metal and hardcore like Brutal Truth or early Napalm Death. Berzerker is (bad) Death metal and Today is the day have tried loads of different genres.

  • yeah but the difference is metalcore has some melodic death metal in it.

    so it's melodic. grindcore isn't.

  • Metalcore is nothing like grindcore whatsoever.

  • Killer fucking video i havent seen that kind of work in years

  • it's called saw

  • better, this video's been inspired by a clockwork orange. :)

  • Thank you Converge for 20 years of ass kicking music!!

  • i hate hardcore. sure its heavy. but songs like these have absolutely no structure to them. musically, heavy metal is far better than hardcore. it takes a lot more musical talent to make metal songs.

  • Hardcore isn't about talent, per say. It's about not giving a fuck about anything except integrity. Express your opinion, sure, but don't try to pass off, as fact, that there is no structure in music whose structure escapes you.

  • Well, classical music (arguable) takes a lot more talent to compose and perform than heavy metal. Does that take away from what the way you feel about it? Probably not. Hardcore is just different. Listen to Between The Buried And Me and say there's no structure. You may not like it, but I guarantee there are few heavy metal bands with as much talent.

  • Terrible quality but decent video for a good song

  • The vimeo links in the info box >>>>> have a HQ version...

    Cheers

  • Thanks!

  • Im gonna go ahead with a gratuitous statement and say "Nobody truly love Converge... In fact I am quite sure even Converge doesn't love Converge"

  • Win!

  • saw them once live...one of my favourite gigs ever!

  • It took me a few listens to actually appreciate the album. Though different from some of the past CDs its still a great CD. Though I feel that a few songs are misplaced on the CD and dont fit, mostly the ones with the extra guests.

    Dunno, still a good CD, lots of awesome brutal converge songs still on it.

  • this album dominates. much better than the last two "were gonna play slow crappy noise like nuerosis" releases. and i see alot of people saying they suck live. well its because your a fag. you went and saw them in an arena, prolly sitting in a chair near but not next to your parents, with dethklok. this bands live intensity is lost in a large venue. go see them at a small club. one of the best shows ever. except jacob screamed so hard he puked a little on me.

  • Ha! I got puked on too. Weird that you'd say the last two albums sounded like Neurosis when this one actually has a member of Neurosis on it. Oh well...

  • If I could sum this up in three words: Short and chaotic!

  • It all depends on the taste of the person. I have to admit, Axe To Fall, is not Converge's best. They strayed off a bit.

  • I've been a huge fan for over a decade. The other albums are not so similar. The songwriting is just lacking. There are very few moments that reach out and grab you, unlike previous albums, which enticed a burning rageupon first listening, and still do!

  • Converge sucked soo much ass live that it was almost unbelievable. Worst 40 mins of my life. I hope the lead vocalist gets raped by a donkey.

  • They were horrible in San Jose... same song over and over basicly

  • Are you sure you've listened to all the other Converge albums? They are pretty similar. Concubine was MUCH noisier than this one, and this is still Converge as it is. Either you like them or not.

  • Listened to EVERY album, EP, and split repeatedly. Noise is good -- great in fact. Total non-issue. I like them and it's because of my great respect for them that I expect more out of them. No one wants to see their idols peter out.

  • Such a disappointing time for Converge; shitty tour with shitty headliners on huge stages, got booed tonight in San Jose, new album's kinda weak, especially side 2. Might be time to throw in the towel.....

    Wretched world is the best Genghis Tron song I've ever heard.

  • @dcskater205 this album? weak? I'm sorry it's not Jane Doe 2. It's almost better. They try different things and still have intensity. Poor kid, doesn't understand progression.

  • I understand progression. but do you realize that progression is not inherently good? The intensity wavers less than halfway through, has a renaissance, and then disappears for good. The slow songs don't have the same stifled energy of the kindred spirits on earlier albums. and lastly, why on earth would you assume I'm a Jane Doe Kid? Prefer Petitioning The Empty Sky personally...

  • @dcskater205 Progression is a good thing in music. It shows the artists ability to grow out of what it first became. The Beatles did it on every record. That's why they are legends. The CD isn't perfection, but it's pretty close. It's got the same Converge style but a different flavor. I'm a Thursday fan so I understand not liking the experimenting but through that came Common Existence which i thought was artfully beautiful. I think more good things are coming.

  • A Thursday fan, huh? That explains everything. I'm done with this argument. You're not even a reliable opinion on hardcore music.

  • Lol

  • @dcskater205 Wow really? They have been around quite a long time. They have never become lame ass pop punk or tried to make a radio friendly CD. It's called having different tastes. Maybe that's why you don't like it. You can only be "hardcore".

  • Fuck your assumptions. In addition to hardcore, death, punk, grind, doom, black metal, and other subgenres, I listen to jazz, blues, classical, IDM, noise, dub, and everything else under the sun. Simply put, I just don't like shitty music made by shitty bands. And I don't like the shitty people who listen to that shitty music either. Got me, kid?

  • Maybe if you actually liked any of the stuff you just said you would appreciate Thursday and the real punk emotions and energy they put forth. They toured for 5 years straight and killed themselves for their fans. So under your rules, for liking Classical instantly you are "not even a reliable opinion on hardcore music". Get a clue jackass that you are missing out on good music because you think your shit is just so damn good.

  • Listen to the music, pass judgement and move on.

  • This sounds horrible.

  • @wert146 so do you

  • Wow. I feel very insulted. I'm going to go cry in a corner.

  • As you should.

  • Haha

  • how is sounding like an early 90's (shit!) grindcore band being ahead of your time? surely, you are BHIND the times if anything....

  • Early 90's grindcore?... you need to reevaluate what you've been listening to over the last 19 or so years...jerk-face.

  • I'm pretty sure you are "BHIND" the times as well. Do you even know how to listen to a song or should we come help you figure it out? Douche

  • Second best metal album I've heard this year after Crack the Skye.

  • too much noice..

  • @prominentreborn....

    ease up turbo...i like em aswell but lets be realistic here...if they are 30 years ahead of their time then calculating infinity must be about 50 years ahead of its time...

  • Look. I like Converge a lot, but this guy prominentreborn is way wrong. I bet he's like sixteen, and dies his hair black with streaks of red. What a tool. I'll bet he actually thinks that his feelings are so much stronger and misunderstood than those of other people. Ha! Go write in your diary you baby!

  • Converge is around 30 years ahead of our time. Unless you're familiar with this Life and Emotions do not Expect to Comprehend.

    Jacob is on par with Bach, in terms of musical understand. He's also a horror fanatic (look at Thaw)

    Genius work.

    Converge/Convergence is also a religion created by the band itself -- it's a concept/idea for feelings.

  • you are all so wrong especially the gimp who called converge unskilled, how incredibly wrong you are!

    converge are amazing, not everyone will enjoy their music, but don't chat shit when you clearly have no clue at all.

  • you're pathetic

    HA!

  • @kisslovegun77 trade it in for some shitty rock cd. you obviously don't realize how layered and intense this journey through sound is. Fucking tool.

  • trust me, i have a shitload of heavy metal stuff, this is just pure garbage. Mastodon fuckin blew them away and then some

  • Converge have some of the best live shows. Maybe they shouldn't be doing big tours. They are an underground band and will stay that way. Mastodon is good in their own right but Converge kicks their ass.

  • Man, I love Converge, but this video sucks. It looks like some film school A hole tried to do an homage to those shitty SAW movies. What a let down. Not the best song either.

  • WTF did he put on that dudes dick...

    man this band sucks

  • yea im a douche and a tool, but at least i have a reason, when i saw dethklok they played and they sucked worse then high on fire

  • yea, its kinnda funny when they talk crap when their band is based cartoon characters.

  • ha ha thats is the worst most unskilled crap i have ever heard.. i wish i got paid from losers to make crap lol.. you cant called that music ..it's noise

  • go back to bible college

  • Haha. How bout you try figuring out the complex timings? Bet it ain't so easy. I second the going back to bible college. And Noise is just one part of the sound they illicit.

  • You should see all the Dethlok fans talking shit about them lol. I swear Hot Topic Meathead Mall metal kids are beyond stupid.

  • this is the first band that convinced me when i saw them live. at first i was unsure, than i saw them live with mastodon and i was like OMG I NEED TO HEARM ORE AND then bought axe to fall and GOD THEY ARE SO AWESOME

  • I saw them live 11/11/09 in Dallas at METALOCLYPSE. Never heard of them before, but I was impressed. They have a lot of energy. Go see them.

  • I saw them live and couldn't stand them, I dunno maybe it just wasn't their best performance.

  • Such a crushing breakdown

    "I need to learn to love me!"

    Just can't not love them..

  • when they came to unh they pplayed this song.... SO SICK

  • i feel like i just got raped and beaten...this song is so aggressive

  • isnt it i feel the same !

    Like i tought Slipknot was aggressive =/

  • Amazingly agressive sound !

    Converge, best hardcore metal band of all.

  • Fucking awesome musicians!

  • Read the info >>>>>

    Thanks

  • I guess they never saw the Come to Daddy video.

  • Have you?

  • I don't think you can listen to this and sit still

  • Comment removed

  • I had a dream last night that The Acacia Strain and Converge toured the UK together. It was amazing.

  • Humanvaporizer....no one cares about your opinion because it's wrong

  • RAD!!! Quantumbitchumboobulator

  • amazing song, amazing band. but that video is pure garbage.

  • Fuckin a

  • Humanvaporizer shut up go kill your self

    no talent? haha just go kill your self really!

  • yea this is the worse band ever no talent just fucking noise get at me fanboys

  • haha what a douche

  • Everyone has an opinion, thanks for sharing yours =)

  • worst is the superlative form, not worse, step up your grammar dumbass.

  • you are a total Fucking Tool.

  • post a video of yourself playing a cover of every instrument in this song and prove that this takes no talent

  • Although Converge is one of my favourite bands, I'm not a fanboy because I defend good music. This is a fast-paced, grinding song. And this requires high skills and of course, talent. I ain't saying "do it better" because I don't know even if you can play an instrument and you are just giving an opinion. But don't go here blaming when you can go and see your fucking Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus in thousands of YouTube videos. Have a nice day.

  • Thanks for making us fans look dumber by pulling the "you probably listen to disney music" card man. Thanks a lot.

  • but they are fast

  • lo hicieron de nuevo.genial

  • this is unique! converge always deliver it the way i want it!

    Superb!

  • A reason to live....

  • Soprano Cannibal Corpse parody.

  • This video is like some crazy amalgamation of the saw films, come to daddy and david cronenburgs remake of the fly. The song is insane...in a good way

  • Someone has seen Tetsuo the Iron Man

  • THIS IS FUCKING GREAT!!!!

  • to loud or to fast for my ears? wtf r u my grampa?

  • i can almost play this on drums soo goood !

  • well i can't say that this is beautiful

    and i believe that every normal person thinks the same..

    but i will not label this as 'crap' cause i dont listen to this kind of music.

    this is very extreme.

    this must not be labeled as hardcore but as grindcore or extreme something.

    *ps:my opinion.learn first to listen to normal music and then listen to things like that(this goes to people that listen to this kind of music just because this is different)

  • who fucking says that converge isn't 'normal' music?

  • i mean that converges music is more complex than the normal music.thats what i mean..this isnt normal music.its more extreme.

  • Fibo u dont have to get on their "good side" with saying that... it isnt normal music at all. this is just disturbing use of instruments and especially vocal chords..

  • well i dont like it at all.i prefer listen to music with a purpose.this sounds so random for me..i like the last 40 secs xD

    but i cant just say "oh this is crap" just cause i believe this..it may be disturbing for me but someone else might like this..i dont know what people have in their heads.i just cant judge this by listening to one song only..

  • actually u're quit right. i've listened to metal for some years now and think it's to bad it's so very few people who thinks the same as you. metal is a great genre once u get to know it. (Y)

  • check out homewrecker from the jane doe album

  • look up their lyrics for any of their songs and then try to say that they have no purpose. especially the song "last light" they don't just throw random stuff together everything is so laid out. and the whole "disturbing" aspect of it is exactly what they are going for it keeps people who don't like it far far away from it and those who understand and appreciate it are always coming back for more so i guess you saying that means job well done converge.

  • ok fanboy.

  • theres fucking noise bands and your complaining about this? lol

    youre all fucking gay

    this aint menudo

    get the fuck outttt

  • in flames? r u jerkin me? thats like tellin cannibal corpse fans to listen to tina turner. if ur gonna post a bands name, make sure their atleast in the same genre. and melodic death metal is so hardcore

  • no man its like telling u guys who listens to this shit and go listen to some real music with melodies and riffs. i could probaly make a better song than this with throwing up..

    and btw i didnt know they genre'ed this kind off bands. They dont deserve to be in any kind of metal genre.

    FACEPALM!

  • Aha so converge does songs based on.. what? If there not melodies than what are they? ever wondered if maybe there just too fast or/and to dissonant for your fucking ears ?!

    you human piece of shit

    Grow up or kill yourself!

  • oh my, thats some pretty harsh word u're using.

    I dont bother music thats to "fast" for my ears (lol), somehow i cant see that happening, but ok then....

    and if it's to loud for me i take the volume down a couple off inches.

    so what im trying to say is that this song especially sucks bad. real bad....

  • dont watch converge videos if you dont like converge.

    problem solved you close minded fuck.

  • I enjoyed the last 35 seconds of this immensely...as for everything before it... not so much.

  • I love this violence...

  • CRAPPP!!My upinion!

  • there's a drum pattern here very similar to the first one in 'Heartache'

  • Yeah, I noticed that too. The guitar part sounds like someone else they've done, but I can't put my finger on it.

  • In a genre where every band sounds exactly like every other band, CONVERGE gives us hope! Thank you! This is unique. This is breath taking. This is CONVERGE!

  • and they are back at 100%! thank you converge for being the savior!
