Converge have released a new single, ‘Aimless Arrow’, ahead of their new album ‘All We Love We Leave Behind’, which is due via Epitaph Records on October 8th.

‘All We Love We Leave Behind’ will be available in a number of formats, including a deluxe package with a 48 page full-colour hardcover, clothbound book with original art created by front-man Jacob.
For the first time in years, ‘All We Love We Leave Behind’ no special guests or outside collaborators: it was recorded and mixed by guitarist Kurt Ballou at his rGodcity Studios in Salem, Massachusetts.
“There’s no artificial distortion, triggers, or Auto-Tune on this album,” Ballou explains. “It’s all organic, it’s real sounds that capture the way the band performs live.”
“I think we really stepped up our game on this record. The most important thing to this band is that with every album we want to create something that excites us and moves us in some way,” explains Bannon. “There are a lot of subtle nuances on this record are really special to us and we definitely hit those individually on this record.”
