#413: Converge's Jacob Bannon

Converge frontman Jacob Bannon is our guest this week! We discussed
the band's forthcoming 10th studio album, Bloodmoon: I, and the
story of how he finally got to collaborate on it with Chelsea
Wolfe, Cave In's Stephen Brodsky and multi-instrumentalist Ben
Chisholm, how the songs evolved with everyone’s contributions
throughout the process, how each participant pushed one another's
creative boundaries for the better, the music he's been listening
to lately, the negativity of making music a competition within
scenes, and reaching your goals in life with a positive path. Petar
and Brandon discuss Trivium frontman Matt Heafy’s comment that
Metallica are the greatest band on Earth, Avenged Sevenfold waiting
to release their next album, Limp Bizkit’s new record, and the Foo
Fighters upcoming horror-comedy film. Thank you to our
sponsor, Metal Blade Records, for their continued support!
