CONVERGE/HELLCHILD - DEEPER THE WOUND - SPLIT CD

The US's metal/hardcore pioneers Converge and Japan's heaviest sludge/kill team Hellchild bring us this split cd titled "Deeper The Wounds". This is the first release from Deathwish, Inc. , a label run by Jake of Converge. Converge start it off with "Thaw", a brand new song which is rich with technical precision, bits of melody, and dense doses of hyperactive percussion. Definitely the next evolutionary step for this amazing band. They also play an impressive version of Depeche Mode's "clean", followed by three live tracks that sound unlike many live hardcore/punk recordings. Crystal clear sound quality on these songs which originally appeared on releases on Equal Vision, Relapse, and Hydra Head. A little something to tide you over until the new full length on EVR is released. Hellchild then rage into a rabid frenzy with four songs produced by the legendary Billy Anderson (Mr. Bungle, Neurosis, Kiss it Goodbye, Brutal Truth). This material showcases both their intense energy and their blinding heaviness. Includes their version of "Insurrection of the Living Damned" originally by Bulldozer.
