Well said. He is so soft spoken to. I always feel like singers in alot of bands kind of put on airs or do a voice but to me him and barney from napalm death are among the ones that you feel that its just their anger and pain coming out like a primal scream. Not to get too hippyish. Hearing them gets me fucking pissed off but in a totally happy positive way if that makes sense. Like the feeling you get when listening to discharge.
You can't be serious lol. I love metal, from church burning Norwegian black metal to satanic death metal, but Converge just sound like noise with no melody to me.
Definately one of my favorite heavy bands, what a solid Discography to boot! If one ever gets a chance to talk to Jacob, he is the nicest gentleman, oozing with integrity and class.

Thank you, even though the vocals are so fast and can be hard to match up with the words, or they aren’t actually singing the lyrics it’s still nice to know them :) gives me more feeling to the song
I'm kind of torn between thinking this is profound or HC Punk cliché. The message certainly fit the time though, with the US being very much engaged in two wars at the time. It certainly would have been cool for the lyrics to be a little bit more intelligible :D.
What is not to love? I always name drop these guys as a measuring stick for people who reference "punk"as the basis of their incredible vast musical taste. "Yeah... they are not like Pennywise... well have fun at your Bettie Page Convention."

Most people don't get grind, it took me years to appreciate it. Now I listen it all the time, this is like a tasty mix of grind, sludge/doom and progressive, I love it
sounds cool man. we're more messy and less quiet, and when we do go quiet it's like horror movie soundtrack type thing. come play in Nottingham, the HC scene here is huge.
people who say converge is shit REEEEAAAAAALLLY dont understand at all. you dont havta like it, heck i tried listening to these guys several different times ova about a year and i hated them and couldnt understand it, then one day it just clicked and it all made sense. they are THE BEST hardcore band in existence
It's totally distorted and bent, but if you listen really closely you can hear a clarinet! Just amazing. They ask, "How is it done? What should we do?" And then they just make up their own rules. Just killer, one of the most interesting bands in America.
to haters out there....its quite hard to find such an intense show like a converge one,seriously if u have a chance ,see them live ...and then ,dare to comment...
Me too. I especially like the part where the guitars go “WAAAAAAAAAH WANG CHUG CHUG” seriously though this is probably my favorite band solely because of the lyrics and artwork the frontman make and the guitarist is actually sick as fuck
OK thank you punxdeadmyass, i understand now, but im studying music so i knwo quite alot and i can tell you with certainty that the singer is not singing a melody, BUT i do understand the whoe anger feeling thing.
@BleedTheBlind No Heroes is essentially that there isn't much left to live for, there's no true heroes left in this life of ours; he's speaking to his fans, it's up to us in some sense. When he's saying "our" it's a reach out to the listeners, not band members of Converge.
Well, it's better than the Eagles Become Vultures video for sure! Absolutely amazing band, they just keep progressing and getting better. Going to see them in July, fuck yeah! It'd be crazy if Old Man Gloom were to tour with them =P As insanely improbable as it is! Poor Nate!
***** that's disrespectful man! "If Jacob Bannon's voice were any different, then Converge would never be as good as they are" you obviously haven't listened to their new record "All We Love We Leave Behind"
Often I've heard Converge called one of the best bands making heavy music. It's really hard to classify them. Their technically not a metal band. They're more grounded in the hardcore scene. In a few interviews they've used the word 'punk' to describe the sound of some of their albums. Whatever they are, their awesome, I couldn't give a shit beyond that.
@grahamzandah i understand what your saying but these dudes are so talented to be able to play what they create... converge have an epic sound and a real view of how hardcore once was...
The music behind the band name and the album art is what kills me every time. It's hard to get used to this kind of music, sometimes you feel it's too much, too overwhelming, but that's art. Not just cool sounding name and album art. Maybe that's not your cup of tea, but you shouldn't say that it's unlistenable.

@Seifter16 I can agree with you there. I have this album, Jane Doe, and Axe To Fall, as I've really tried to get into them the past couple years. I'm not saying it was a lost cause, as I do appreciate their skill and no holds barred chaotic outlook, but it's just not something I could listen to purely for enjoyment. Extremely talented band though, without a doubt.
Converge sounds like a mental metal/hardcore band playing behind a tiger/ cougar/ leopard that is being stabbed repeatedly in the face with a lance. I fuckin' dig it.
I wouldn't really put Converge's vocals in the same category as most "hardcore" bands. A lot of those vocalists do bullshit growly metal vocals, whereas Jacob's just screaming as hard as he can. That's what I love about these guys... they're mixing real hardcore and metal elements, instead of adhering to the bullshit "metal minus solos equals hardcore" formula that 99% of "hardcore" bands follow.
not really. well you do if you don't want to hurt your voice. i scream in a band, i never trained my voice, i just got angry at practise one day and screamed like someone was twisting my fingers off one by one. it works :)
well this is converge...this is what they sound like...there are 101 other hardcore/mathcore/whateverthefkcore bands out there that you can't tell what the vocalist is saying...
Nothing beats that wailing rage in Jacob's voice. He's consumed by something much more than talent.
Pain chain

Cocaine
Well Benny from neaera actually beat it with 'armamentarium'
Yes definitely not talent. Garbage vocals.
Im 40 years old and have said for the last 20 years that Converge is the greatest band to ever make music....ever. Lol
I'm 23 Years old and i'm thinking the exact same thing...saw them live front row last year.
You can't be serious lol. I love metal, from church burning Norwegian black metal to satanic death metal, but Converge just sound like noise with no melody to me.
Yea i was on here with you lookin at

make me a sandwich
I like it here
don't forget onions
Onions, ONIONS

I know the term Metalcore is somewhat generic these days...but this is one of the only bands that truly sound like a mix of Hardcore Punk and Metal...
Metallic hardcore. That was the term for such bands before people started calling it "metalcore"
Not Crust, Not Crossover, METALLIC HARDCORE. Later bands would fall under “Metalcore.” Converge is thee best out that scene.
i actually just know it as grindcore or mathcore
All these years later and this is still one of my favorite albums by them.
Oh, you'll appreciate them 1000 times more once you see them live.
Underrated? Every person that knows of Converge knows how influential and amazing they are.
Converge music videos need to be re-uploaded, for reals.
+Bakutakamine Just like Sikth's
Впервые видел этот клип когда мне было 17 или 18 лет. Проще жить, когда понимаешь, что снова увидишь этих мужчин вживую🖤
I love these guys.
What is not to love? I always name drop these guys as a measuring stick for people who reference "punk"as the basis of their incredible vast musical taste. "Yeah... they are not like Pennywise... well have fun at your Bettie Page Convention."
El mejor momento del show ❤
we need converge anywhere and forever
We all get a short time in life. So glad to spend so much of it listening to this stuff.
Ben Koller killing it as usual !
he's the Bonzo of metallic hardcore
So many years past, and this number is still great! One of my favourite!
I like that Ben just thought that there weren't enough drums in the reprise and travelled through space and time at 3:04
There is no band that better personifies anger. Ugly, ugly anger. I love it.

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it; can't get enough of it!
I rammed my knee into the corner of my coffee table and this is exactly what it sounded like
The Pioneers of Mathcore
@ yeah but they’re Death Metal. Not saying they’re Not good. I’m just saying These guys were the Pioneers of the Genere.
converge is soo good.
converge are just intense much love
Jaaa!!!
Bangen bis der Kopf abfällt!!!
a la este video es el mejor q he visto de todos los videos del black metal este es el mejor no se les entiende nada de lo q dicen esta bien deawevo
IN MY WORLD OF ENEMIES, I WALK ALONE
Still one of their best songs and videos!
Wow! For a Converge video, this has really good quality.
Sharing these guys to give them the exposure they deserve
ah yes, 2000's metalcore music videos
fr tho, this song slaps
I like the subtle nod to the album artwork at 3:40.
good catch
I would say that No Heroes is their best yet. The album as a whole is nearly flawless.
Most people don't get grind, it took me years to appreciate it. Now I listen it all the time, this is like a tasty mix of grind, sludge/doom and progressive, I love it
Bro it's already called - mathcore
Jacob Bannon sings me to sleep at night.
Best band ever. It's all about the tight musicianship.
My favorite band. They started everything for me.
Thats awesome bro
One of the best bands around
This video is sick!!! Love the apocalyptic background.
eleven years waiting for the answer - i hope that you are still alive :) More apocalyptic, satanic is the Wreched World :)
can't wait going to see them twice in one week :D
Awesome band, this is raw power right here.
Great!!!
converge is awesome
not all understand this music and this just awesome)))
damn right one of the most influential bands there is been goin 2 decades strong
Hey Christopher from eight years ago
damn. 3 decades now.
Converge always makes me want to dropkick old people.
I love love love love love love this song!!!! exspacially in combination with weight of the world!!!!
Converge are the original Metalcore band, they're the Alphas
You did not
Metal core is shit
@@joshuajurgens8410 Generalization of genres is invalid criticism
@@joshuajurgens8410 How are you a Converge fan but believe metalcore sucks 😂
Hopesfall used to be one of my favorite “ metal core “ Shai hulud too and eso-charis Norma Jean red chord
velociraptorcore. Hands down for Converge. Such a sick band!
sounds cool man. we're more messy and less quiet, and when we do go quiet it's like horror movie soundtrack type thing. come play in Nottingham, the HC scene here is huge.

not everyday radioplaylistshit, but this is converge live with it! Brutal shit. I guess this will make an end to comparing to metalcore discussion...
Nice pop song : ).
I like the part when he said UUUUAUUUHHHHEEEGH
🐟🐟🐟🐟
Pigeon fly free uuuuuauuuuuhhhhheeghhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrr
Me too. I especially like the part where the guitars go “WAAAAAAAAAH WANG CHUG CHUG” seriously though this is probably my favorite band solely because of the lyrics and artwork the frontman make and the guitarist is actually sick as fuck
Take the time to read the lyrics. Bannon is legendary
Kurt ballou is the goat of hxc sound engineers@@Spectralhyena
OK thank you punxdeadmyass, i understand now, but im studying music so i knwo quite alot and i can tell you with certainty that the singer is not singing a melody, BUT i do understand the whoe anger feeling thing.
Одни из лучших
I returned to this song, several times, and i dont know why
Because it's a free adrenaline rush, and Jacob Bannon one of the most entertaining frontmen ever?

FUCKING BRUTAL! Been a fan since "Halo in a Haystack" from1994. Keep up the good work!
Well, it's better than the Eagles Become Vultures video for sure! Absolutely amazing band, they just keep progressing and getting better. Going to see them in July, fuck yeah!
It'd be crazy if Old Man Gloom were to tour with them =P
As insanely improbable as it is! Poor Nate!
***** that's disrespectful man!
"If Jacob Bannon's voice were any different, then Converge would never be as good as they are" you obviously haven't listened to their new record "All We Love We Leave Behind"
YEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAA!
first converge song I ever heard. This album's not as good as Jane Doe but it still gets me going
Jane doe is definitely their most iconic album.
No heroes is their heaviest album.
You fail me is their most creative
yessssss
17 years.. wow. seems like i come here every 4th year to comment this.

it's called metalcore
BWAAH BWAAH BWAAH BWAAAH
NO HEROES! "In My World Of Enemies I Walk Alone" (Weight of the World is also the intro and the finish of these song)
oh yeah, that's what i like to hear when my mood is reeeaaaalllyy baaad! :D
yeh. it's called empassioned, heartfelt, crazy, screwed-up music. true hardcore.
2:00 YOU A CAT

This is the intro which I'm assuming you tried to mimic.
a very subtle lyrics
Converge is classic hands down.
You're dumb to think otherwise.
The lyrics appeal to me =)
@yusifer What's better is that a lot of their songs still manage to shred from a tech standpoint.
is it just me but this and dragon force operation ground and pound on the same planet?
Mat Medrano half of the metal videos in the mid 2000s were basically like this lol
@Seifter16 I can agree with you there. I have this album, Jane Doe, and Axe To Fall, as I've really tried to get into them the past couple years.

probabilmente chi non apprezza lo Scream dei converge, ascolta solo gli A7Z o i Bvb...
If you can't respect Jake then stop listening to Converge lol. He's not going anywhere

Girl what are you talking about?
Converge is pretty funny live, they sound like their saying fuck over and over, I saw them at Sounds of The Underground 2006 in Toronto
.....all together now......
