Converge create a masterpiece with their album Jane Doe, which is an album that people who embrace it, will not forget it.

Converge might have one foot planted in the U.S. hardcore scene, but Jane Doe is entirely unlike anything that genre has thrown up in the last 20 years.

Jane Doe seems completely watertight and flawless.

Let's ignore the niceties. Converge is a smart, aggressive, brutal quintet, and Jane Doe will kick your ass repeatedly until it leaves its long imprint in your flabby buttflesh.

THE METAL SUBGENRE CHALLENGE #010 - METALCORE (OG)
In this challenge, I'll be taking a look at various albums I haven't heard yet from a variety of different Metal subgenres. I'm quite familiar with the genre, but I really want to dive into the specific subgenres and analyze them.

bone-crushingly heavy. some of the harshest vocals out there. from the first second to the last it's a complete assault and once it's finally over all that's left is ash. awesome stuff here. I can see why this is renowned as the best of the subgenre
