My Unsaid Everything

Converge,

When Forever Comes Crashing

Converge - My Unsaid Everything

This was the first Converge song I had ever heard. It completely blew me away and was nothing like anything else I’d even remotely listened to. Ever since then, I’ve been infatuated with them. While most band’s earlier material seems to be the best, Converge keeps pushing the envelope with every album and I always, eagerly await any new material they release.
