Converge "Concubine/Fault and Fracture" (Official Music Video)

[@zachmerck]

My very first video. Love you Converge to the moon and back. And for the comments below, we made this before most of you were born - 2002 - and it was a lot of fun to create. Shot on 35mm film...which doesn't happen anymore. Miss it. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT.

[@sacredxgeometry]

Are you still in business? This is an incredible work of art, just visually always on cue and really unique that kind of defined an era. Something of a pace-maker for videos at the time. Few music videos in underground extreme music really found a footing until this band probably came about, and some of their contemporaries.

[@alvareo92]

Love how much it looks like movies from the time did, and the shots of the band are so good and energetic and cut perfectly! Amazing video!

[@creekandseminole]

This video was the first time I ever heard of or seen Converge. It actually played on MTV and it was super late at night. I don't recall what show it was on but they played it mixed in with other videos like Glassjaw and Thursday and even Good Charlotte ha ha. It absolutely blew me away and I had never heard anything like it before outside of the usual Metal scene. I honestly thought they were an Emo band back then because of Jacob's hair. Anyway I became a fan ever since. Own every album on vinyl and got to see them one time up in Tulsa, OK.

You should certainly check out the albums that followed it. "You Fail Me" feels like the aftermath of Jane Doe - it's a little darker, but rewarding. "No Heroes" feels a bit more upbeat, as if they just decided to go nuts with the recording. "Axe to Fall" is certainly the most varied. If you want progression, I'd definitely start there.

When it comes to mathcore bands, this is probably one of the more chaotic. I'd usually prefer something like Fear Before the March of Flames, something a bit more melodic, but you have to hand it to these guys for really going all out and really giving a unique take on the genre. Much respect for that shit.

Here goes. Responding to a 3 year old comment... this is my first time seeing the video. Think I first heard Converge in 2002 and was instantly a fan. Saw them live multiple times over the next 2-3 years. I imagine most fans aren't getting their Converge fix with a music video. Probably find this album and play each track or listen to the album in its entirety. Who can stop listening to converge after a single music video?

disturbed is for 12 year olds who hate their parents and use cool swear words, get over yourself please

[@MrKyel17]

Twolliebollie You're being just as pretentious and condescending by the way in which you describe them. I, personally, wouldn't call myself a Disturbed fan, but there's nothing wrong with enjoying some mainstream rock/metal at times. For instance, I'd call myself a pretty big Breaking Benjamin fan. I'll readily admit their music is not groundbreaking or amazing by any means, but there isn't anything bad about it at all, either. It's damn good mainstream hard rock. Nothing wrong with that, so, politely, get over yourself, please.

[@Twolliebollie]

+MrKyel17 Disturbed is objectively bad.

[@MrKyel17]

Twolliebollie Not particularly. Sure they've declined in the last two releases or so, but they pretty much just release the same album each time. While definitely not a good thing, it doesn't make the music, itself, bad. If one likes Disturbed, then one probably won't mind more of the same thing with each album. On the other hand, if one isn't a big fan, one will likely just tire of them and move on to something else. Generic doesn't, necessarily, equate to bad. And, just because you don't like the band, or their music, doesn't mean they're objectively bad.
