I’m getting older. I realize a lot of people that listen to music have never done this: Buy a piece of physical music, sit alone in a room and listen to the entire album. Read the lyrics and look at the album art. Take In the entire thing without distractions. Trust me, it rules
Thank you for this review
@theneedledrop
!!! Very well thought out and well-written. To me it feels like a blur in another life from a million years ago. I’m so thankful to have so many people appreciate it 🙌🏻

Guys, there's a brand new
@Convergecult
song. I just listened to it. I want to play it for you, but I can't. It's really good. I also can't tell you when you'll be able to hear it. That's my update for the day. I hope it was as frustrating for you as it was for me.
Every year as I get older the
@Convergecult
set destroys my body and kills a little bit more of me. The next time you see us live just know that I’m dying on the sticks for you. I am the metalcore Drum Jesus
I really miss the early 2000's hardcore message boards where dudes would have some kind of online beef and then one of them would be like "Yo I'll be at the Converge show at Spanky's in Milwaukee March 9th, come fight me."
This is my drum kit. There are many like it but this one is mine. My drum kit is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without my drum kit I am nothing. Without me my drum kit is nothing. My drum kit is human, even as I, because it is my life.
Hire someone scary to sell your merch. When they ask for the merch cut at the end of the night, tell them to go fuck themselves. It’s always worked for us!
Goddam that
@Convergecult
rehearsal felt good. 1st in over 2 years. A couple rough spots but overall everything sounds sick. Practiced the whole Jane set and then another whole set of bangers. This is worth all the risks. Ahhhhh I feel ALIVE!!!!!!
We had to say goodbye to our sweet pup Edie last night. During surgery they found 2 other aggressive tumors in her spleen and stomach and it was just too much for her. Thanks to anyone who showed support, the merch store on Terrier Cult will stay up a bit. R.I.P. my baby girl.
I’d like to start a thread for musicians who have had their lives turned upside down by cancellations. Post webstore links in the comments. If anyone has extra bucks and feels like helping out, please go and check out some merch. Maybe discover some new stuff too! 😘😘
I just got back into coffee after taking almost a year off and I can safely say that was the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever done in my life. Coffee is AMAZING!!!

For the good of our Country we must prevail!
Really trying to take it as a compliment that someone tried to scam me into sending them the record.
@Convergecult
if you wanna take us out on tour, I’m happy to send the album x
I’ve been touring non-stop for 25 years and there’s still so much to see and do out in the world. Still plenty of places to go in South America, Southeast Asia, Africa etc. I can’t wait to get back out there and see you guys again 🖤🖤🖤
Just recorded a scathing, stressful and violently beautiful black metal track with a musician I respect greatly. I’ve been stewing on this one for a long time and I’m so excited for it to come out soon. Stay tuned 🦾
Set list ideas for March: 3 songs off each record. Single Tear/Reptilian/Arkhipov/Aimless Arrow/Trespasses/AWLWLB/Dark Horse/Reap What You Sow/Dead Beat/Heartache/No Heroes/Vengeance/Eagles/Black Cloud/Last Light/Concubine/Homewrecker/Heaven. Shit I’m tired just looking at that
Flashback to
@Mastodonmusic
's early days as a rowdy sludge-metal band with this video of them playing 'Remission' standout "March of the Fire Ants" in 2002
Flying to Boston to write some new
@Convergecult
songs. What direction should we go with this one? I’m thinking Sabbath meets Bad Brains and a sprinkling of Emo Iron Maiden
If anyone was at outbreak fest, I am so sorry about the saddest day. That was a total piece of shit. You guys look like you had fun though. Spoiler alert-We haven’t rehearsed that song in like 15 years.🤠
These days I get 10 times more excited to see an opening band at a small show than a festival headliner. Go to more small shows, especially hardcore shows. Trust me.
No fair you can't say Pearl Jam and Soundgarden members if it's just Matt Cameron. That would be like if I started a "supergroup" that was just me and it said members of Converge/BloodMoon/APMD/Mutoid Man/Killer Be Killed/The Armed/Carpenter Brut/Two Minutes to Late Night
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
I'm very happy to report that once my arm is back in action, I will be working on new albums with 4 (maybe 5) different bands this year! I can't wait to get back to work!
To the band practicing in Silverlake rn that sounds like
@RussianCircles
with the sax line from Careless Whisper played on top of it: Don’t ever change, I love you just the way you are.
#RussianSaxles
It breaks my heart that most younger music fans will never go to a store and flip through albums. I loved the feeling of going home with 1 release and staring at the album art and lyrics for hours, listening over and over again.
My daughters mic was on in her zoom class by accident and they all heard me loudly singing about shitty baby diapers and my dog having diarrhea to the tune of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." Welcome to our family and Happy Holidays kids!
Although I have always thought Primus would be the best possible band to cover this song,
@BenKoller
and the rest of this crew did a pretty sick job. Gina Gleason is sick+.
I feel like the harsh critics of the new
@tool
album didn’t like
@tool
in the first place. It sounds like

. If you like
@tool
you should like the new
@tool
. It’s real
@tool
-y (in a good way).
After listening to my favorite band
@Metallica
for 30 years I think I'm finally seeing them live next week in Vegas. I might break my other elbow air-drumming
Drum update: I can almost get through the
@Convergecult
set for next tour. I’m pouring sweat, & my hair/clothes/shoes stink like a barn animal. I switched from lattes to cold brew and I’m going to spin off this planet powered by a nuclear caffeine reaction. 1.21 Giggawatts. 👺💨
