CONVERGE Announces US Tour Dates Around Festival Appearances

Converge has announced a handful of tour dates around their appearances at Sonic Temple Festival and Welcome to Rockville this May. The press release for the tour dates also notes there’s “big news coming from Converge in 2025,” which seems to be a new record.

According to Converge drummer Ben Koller in a handful of tweets from earlier in 2024, the band’s upcoming new material could very well be their best (and possibly most diverse) yet.

“There is A LOT of new Converge material. I feel like I’m at Old Country metalcore Buffet and all the foods are RIFFS,” wrote Koller. “It’s all over the place. We have crowdkilling, Fugazi, Mars Volta, Entombed, mathcore madness, slow Nate riffs where I play too fast, shitty riffs, emo riffs…This could be our best album yet no joke. We should proably ditch the shitty riffs though”

Koller continued in a separate response to a fan who asked how it stacks up to No Heroes: “Hard to say what the finished product will be but I will say that this feels like the most evolved, natural and fully realized bunch of material we have ever written. It’s tough to try and compare it to other albums. No Heroes feels like another lifetime at this point.”
