Description
“We wanted to do something grander than the typical four-piece Converge music. Thats Converge vocalist Jacob Bannon talking about the seed of inspiration that eventually bloomed into Bloodmoon: I, the new collaborative album created by the legendary hardcore band alongside dark songstress Chelsea Wolfe, her bandmate / writing partner Ben Chisholm and Cave In vocalist / guitarist Steve musicians descended upon Ballous God City Studios in Salem, Massachusetts, to work on material in late 2019. Future sessions were planned for 2020, but then the pandemic hit. The rest of Bloodmoon: I was recorded remotely, though youd never know and atmospheric, triumphant and melodious, Bloodmoon: I is Converge as youve never heard them before. Its Chelsea Wolfe and Ben Chisholm as youve never heard them before. Its Steve Brodsky as youve almost never heard him beforeafter all, he was a member of Converge in the late 90s and played bass on 1998s When Forever Comes Bannon points out, Bloodmoon: I has been a long time cominglonger, even, than the 2016 shows would indicate. The members of ConvergeBallou, Bannon, bassist Nate Newton, and drummer Ben Kollertipped their hand ever so slightly with the release of 2009s Axe To Fall, which featured a lengthy list of guest musicians, including members of Neurosis, Entombed, and Genghis Tronnot to mention Brodsky and some of his Cave In bandmates. Thrilling in its apocalyptic grandeur, Bloodmoon: I is a collaborative work in every wayto the point where Wolfe, Bannon, and Brodsky found themselves writing lyrics for each other.
