Converge have enlisted Chelsea Wolfe and her bandmate Ben Chisholm, as well as Cave In's Stephen Brodsky for a new collaborative album titled Bloodmoon: I. The album will arrive digitally and on CD through Epitaph on November 19 and on vinyl on June 24 through Deathwish.
As Converge vocalist Jacob Bannon explained in a statement, the group reached out for new collaborators for this record because they "wanted to do something grander than the typical four-piece Converge music." The resulting 11-track record — produced by Ballou — finds each artist working well outside their comfort zone.
"The project stretched my vocals in new ways. It's so different than what I normally sing over that I was able to open up and be vulnerable with my vocals," Wolfe said.
"I feel like everyone just kept the music in mind and wanted to do what's best for the song," Brodsky added.
Today, the group share the record's title track "Blood Moon," alongside a music video directed by Emily Birds with costume and set design by Ashley Rose. Watch that below, where you can also find the album's full tracklisting.
