partysmasher Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 From Lambgoat via Converge's twitter: As many of you know by now, Converge will be releasing their long-awaited new studio album, "Axe To Fall," on October 20th via Epitaph Records (with vinyl to be issued by Deathwish Inc.). The effort was recorded by guitarist Kurt Ballou at this Godcity studios in Salem, MA and features guest appearances from a host of notables, including Steve Brodsky (Cave In), Adam McGrath (Cave In), J.R. Connors (Cave In, Doomriders), Uffe Cederlund (Disfear, ex-Entombed), John Pettibone (The Vows, Himsa), Steve Von Till (Neurosis), and Mookie Singerman (Genghis Tron). Here's your first look at the cover artwork: Meanwhile, the track listing is as follows: 01. Dark Horse 02. Reap What You Sow 03. Axe To Fall 04. Effigy 05. Worms Will Feed 06. Wishing Well 07. Damages 08. Losing Battle 09. Dead Beat 10. Cutter 11. Slave Driver 12. Cruel Bloom 13. Wretched World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadmonkey Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I can't wait for this. I dunno about the artwork though. It seems a little too derivative of Jane Doe and No Heroes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlovecolouredx Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 the list of guest is awesome. i wish to listen blueprint converge songs with new sound/technique because kurt did many good album in all passed couple years and he may make something difference with this. and i think full art cover will make us stoke althrough i didn't plan for buy prints (from my crap statements). oh, i highly expect to see those guys in thailand....

jbannon Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Thanks everyone. The artwork: There is a great deal of artwork for this album. I created a piece for each song that will be included in the packaging. Visually and musically it is quite a progression from our previous releases. Rumor has it, you will be hearing some of it VERY soon... -J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
