Bloodmoon: I

“We wanted to do something grander than the typical four-piece Converge music.”
That’s Converge vocalist Jacob Bannon talking about the seed of inspiration that eventually
bloomed into Bloodmoon: I, the new collaborative album created by the legendary hardcore
band alongside dark songstress Chelsea Wolfe, her bandmate/writing partner Ben
Chisholm and Cave In vocalist/guitarist Steve Brodsky.

“I’ve been a fan of Chelsea and Ben’s work for some time,” Bannon says. “I bought the
Apokalypsis record from Aquarius Records in San Francisco, and Ben and I started
communicating here and there. He had roots in this world of music, so it started to make
sense that we could all work together in some way.”

“Ben introduced me to Converge when we started playing music together in 2009,” Wolfe
says. “A couple of years later, we saw that Converge had put Apokalypsis on a year-end list,
so we were totally fanning out about that. When they reached out to Ben about performing
some Converge songs with new arrangements, I said, ‘I want in on that...’ And it seems like
they were happy to have me along.” 

Harrowing and atmospheric, triumphant and melodious, Bloodmoon: I is Converge as you’ve
never heard them before. It’s Chelsea Wolfe and Ben Chisholm as you’ve never heard them
before. It’s Steve Brodsky as you’ve almost never heard him before—after all, he was a
member of Converge in the late ’90s and played bass on 1998’s When Forever Comes
Crashing.
