Converge

Formed in Salem, Massachusetts in 1990 by vocalist and artist Jacob Bannon and guitarist/producer Kurt Ballou and rounded out by bassist/vocalist Nate Newton and drummer Ben Koller, Converge forged a ferocious, uncompromising hybrid of hardcore punk, metal and experimental noise that helped redefine modern heavy music. Their landmark album 'Jane Doe'—alongside a relentless catalog of boundary-pushing records and intense live performances, often captured through Ballou's production at GodCity Studios—cemented Converge as a touchstone for the metalcore and hardcore scenes and a lasting influence on heavy music artists worldwide.
