For the first time in years, here is a Converge album that contains no special guests or outside collaborators and every aspect of the music, production and aesthetics of the album was handled by Converge in order to give listeners an unfiltered glimpse into the creative vision of these Boston-based innovators. “All of our albums are emotional but I feel this is our most potent album to date,” says Jacob Bannon who fronts what is considered to be one of the most ground – breaking and influential metal/hardcore bands of all time. “Success to me is creating something that’s moving and fulfilling and I truly feel both of those things when I listen back and experience this album from start to finish.” Already receiving a swathe of glowing reviews, ‘All We Love We Leave Behind’ is set to be the most intense album of 2012.
