Converge experienced a significant transformation following the release of Petitioning the Empty Sky.
They found a new bassist in Cave In’s Stephen Brodsky, who would join the band on several releases in 1997 as well as their first proper full-length album the following year.
This release also serves as the first full-length recorded, at least partially, by guitarist Kurt Ballou at the now-iconic God City Studios and the debut under their new label, Equal Vision Records.
While their next album would arguably reshape the landscape of extreme music, When Forever Comes Crashing captures Converge at their most ferocious, precise, and unconventional yet.
Join us this week as we conclude this era of Converge with When Forever Comes Crashing!
