LP - Limited Edition Gold Coloured Vinyl Repress of the groundbreaking hardcore-metal band Converge's 2009 album.
Considered one of the most intense, important, and influential metal / hardcore bands ever, Converge continue their uncompromising evolution, experimenting and manipulating the fiercest form of music with the most aggressive album of 2009, 'Axe To Fall'. Fitting like a puzzle piece in their all but flawless catalog, 'Axe To Fall' is an undeniable progression in the band's canon of cacophonous sound, dexterous skill and ingenious art, as thirteen of the most viciously powerful songs converge has ever written reign down on listeners in a surge of sonic fury. true to their meticulous DIY style, guitarist kurt ballou helmed production duties once again from his infamous Godcity Studios in Salem, MA.
True to themselves and their art, as always, no matter the cost, Axe To Fall continues to push relentlessly forward, much like a shark that needs to always keep swimming to survive. Where No Heroes was a refinement and broadening of hostilities declared on previous assaults such as Jane Doe, Axe To Fall returned to the more AmRep-inspired noisecore abrasions of You Fail Me while also updating and making vital the thrash influences that defined earlier Converge efforts (Caring and Killing, Petitioning the Empty Sky) and retaining the hardcore hostilities and frantic pace so vital to their foundation.
