Converge // “Aimless Arrow”

This is it, man. So begins the official countdown to an album that I’ve been waiting for for three long years: Converge’s All We Love We Leave Behind, their followup to the mind-blowing Axe To Fall. Although the album won’t be until October 9th, the band has kick-started the hype train with the album’s first single and its accompanying video.

I’ve read several places that All We Love We Leave Behind is somewhat a back-to-basics for the grandfathers of metalcore; and if “Aimless Arrow” is any indication as to what the album has in store, then that’s exactly what it will be. With cleaner guitars, Jacob’s tamer vocals, and a post-hardcore skeleton; “Aimless Arrow” shows us Converge’s accessible side when compared to the snarling beast that was Axe To Fall. Excluding the fact that the track’s last 45 seconds or so melts back down to the melee of controlled chaos that the band identifies with, “Aimless Arrow” just might be an indication of cleaner things to come. Either way we’ll have to wait until October 9th to find out.
