Fitting like a puzzle piece in their all but flawless catalog, \'Axe To Fall\' is an progression in the band’s canon of cacophonous sound, as the thirteen songs reign down in a surge of sonic fury.

Converge let their hardcore flag fly on \'Axe To Fall\' when drummer Ben Koller’s galloping beats meet Ballou’s fast riffs as bassist Nate Newton provides a pummeling backbone and vocalist Jacob Bannon takes command with menacing growls.

Perhaps Converge’s heaviest music they’ve ever recorded, the foursome invited a slew friends to contribute to the album. Among them are Steve Brodsky, Adam McGrath, John-Robert Connors, Ulf Cederlund, John Pettibone, Steve Von Till, and Mookie Singerman.
