xZach88x Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 What's up VC? I didn't now if this is the right place to post a question like this, so sorry in advance if it's not. I've been meaning to ask this for a while : I really like the two songs that come at the end of Axe To Fall, "Cruel Bloom" and "Wretched World". Although these songs are obviously Converge songs from a Converge record - I feel like it's safe to say they contain unique sounds and are fairly different from most of Converge's material. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of any artists and/or bands that had a sound similar to these two songs (or even other Converge stuff). I don't even want to attempt to try and classify the sounds and feel of those two tracks for fear of being terribly inaccurate and henceforth banished from the VC forums, but if anyone could refer anything that sounds like those songs I'd be grateful. - Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Most people who respond to this thread are going to inform you who is featured in those two tracks, and what bands they're a part of. But I don't think that's what you're asking for; i.e. Cruel Bloom doesn't really sound like Neurosis. That being said, they're two pretty unique tracks. I'm going to think on this one and come back to this thread in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtw88 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Bands that are coming to mind for me are True Widow and Young Widows. It might not be readily apparent but I feel like those bands capture the same mood. I think you might like Creepoid too. Some songs on the Purple Mercy S/T LP are similar.

mattisr1984 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 but still, you should listen to neurosis. and steve von till has solo records. theyre on spotify - so no excuse not to check 'em out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wexzer Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yea, I agree with Derek on this on. I hope he can come up with something, I would be interested as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'll give this some thought too. I know there is other stuff that sounds like that, I just can't think of it off the top of my head. Neurosis is definitely worth checking out, even if it isn't quite what you were looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I haven't forgotten this thread, but I'm drawing a serious blank on comparing these two tracks to anything else I normally listen to. They're pretty damn unique... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're pretty damn unique... Yea, I've been thinking about this as well. Even though I would reckon that I've a rather broad music taste then I haven't be able to find something that sounds similiar to these two tracks...Pretty unique indeed.

Derek™ Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 *Haven't forgotten. Auto-correct for the lose. Yeah, those old timey keys and raspy vocals of Cruel Bloom stand alone in my music library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And PraiseMorph I'll check that stuff out as well. And thanks for the heads up Matthew84, I'll hit up spotify for that stuff! Thanks again everyone!
