In 2016, veteran extreme-music warriors got together with some friends to tour Europe. Working with Chelsea Wolfe, her collaborator Ben Chisholm, and Cave-In/Mutoid Man leader Stephen Brodsky (a longtime Converge ally and former member), Converge formed a new entity that they called Converge Bloodmoon. They doubled down on the more meditative, immersive side of Converge’s sound, and they played a run of shows that included the Netherlands’ Roadburn Festival. That same group of musicians got together last year to release the album Bloodmoon: I. That’s been a divisive record among Converge fans, but I think it fucking rules. And now, Converge have announced their first Bloodmoon shows in the US.
