Converge Release New Collaborative Album “Bloodmoon: 1″

Bloodmoon: I, the new collaborative album from legendary hardcore band Converge, dark songstress Chelsea Wolfe, her bandmate & writing partner Ben Chisholm and Cave In vocalist & guitarist Stephen Brodsky, is out now on CD and across all streaming platforms via Epitaph Records. Bloodmoon: I will also be released on vinyl on June 24th via Deathwish. Produced by Ballou, Bloodmoon: I is a harrowing and atmospheric collaborative effort that sees each performer working together and outside the comfort zones in order to create something that is truly unique to the project. “I feel like everyone just kept the music in mind and wanted to do what’s best for the song,” notes Brodsky.

The collaboration first began in 2016 at Roadburn Festival in The Netherlands where the seven-piece performed revamped Converge material under the name Blood Moon. The energy and rapturously received appearance inspired the group to want to make music together, though it would take several years before their schedules allowed. In late 2019, they were finally able to begin working on new material together at Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou‘s God City Studio in Salem, Massachusetts. Future sessions were planned for 2020 but the pandemic would see the remainder of the record be finished remotely.
