The Dusk In Us
The ninth album from the metalcore architects is sharp and urgent. Jacob Bannon’s songwriting shines as he turns his back on interpersonal torment and faces something bigger and more existential.
Hardcore veterans Converge play to their strengths on The Dusk In Us, while Shamir’s Revelations is earnest and rewarding, if not as effervescent as Ratchet. These, plus Big K.R.I.T. and Sam Smith in the week’s notable new releases.
This is art which is meant to take you prisoner in a darkness that will ultimately show you more than you ever realised.
There’s a vitality here that reminds us that Converge are exactly the sort of band we can hardly afford to do without.

Jane Doe, the 2001 album from Boston quartet Converge, is one of the landmark works in the recent history of heavy music, a ferocious, highly technical and wildly inventive blend of punk, hardcore, math and metal that influenced almost every similarly minded band that has followed in its wake.
