CONVERGE + COALESCE = HARDCORE TOUR OF THE SEASON

Monday, February 1st, 2010 at 4:00pm by

SWEET.

MetalSucks Maniac “mankvill” directed us to this tweet from Coalesce, in which the band – or whomever runs their Twitter account at least – posted the above photo. Converge and Coalesce? And Gaza? I’m not really familiar with Lewd Acts or Black Breach – does that say Black Breach? – but on this bill, I’d be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I haven’t seen this reported anywhere else yet, which makes me a little suspicious – but maybe Coalesce just let the cat out of the bag early. They above says they’re only on select dates, and we don’t have dates yet. But everyone just start hopin’ the tour comes near them, and comes near them with both bands in tow.

    It says Black Breath. They’re on Southern Lord.

  • Patrick

  • RockOutWithMy…YouKnow

    Please be true, please be true, please be true!!!!!!!!!

    • stu1

      It’s true.

      • RockOutWithMy…YouKnow

        Well sock me sideways, that fantastic news!
        Now, they just better come to upstate NY!

  • Genial Gentile

    Fucking.There.Dude.

  • Kye

    I’m pretty sure Suarez has covered all of those bands at some point… shoulda let him break the news, methinks.

  • Allan

    It’s Black Breath and it’s totally worth being excited about! Signed to Southern Lord.

    My penis just exploded…

  • Awful Offal Carnage

    Converge is shit. I seen them at the Mastodon/Dethklok tour, and they fucking sucked, vocals sounded like a dog barking the whole fucking time.

    • I, Monarch

      GTFO you cocksucking piece of shit

      • TXHellbilly

        Overreaction? Perhaps

    • stu

      “I seen them?” Your opinion is null and void since you have no command over English.

      • aids robot

        yeah but dethklock vocals are american idol winning material

    • The Ghost of D. Boon

      YOU LISTEN TO METAL

      geez

    • Awful Offal Carnage

      Okay, I may be over exaggerating by saying they sucked, I mean, I guess some people like hearing songs with dogs barking as vocals, cause that’s what they fucking sounded like.

      Even my friend who’s listened to Converge for years agrees with me. I mean, I even listened to some of Axe To Fall before the concert, and I enjoyed it. Maybe he’s just not a good live vocalist, I mean that happens.

      • SonOF

        Bannon isn’t that great live, like the 4-5 times I have seen them. Part of their charm is that they sound noisy/all-over-the-place, and in a live setting, even more so. But they are still a pretty great live band; I listen to metal and hardcore, I don’t need my vocals sounding pristine.

  • drunkwithpower

    I saw this somewhere else this morning but without any corroborating evidence. Should be a good time if it actually goes down.

  • http://www.myspace.com/officialkalima tom cash

    This had better come to new york/new jersey. Or there will be hell to pay. Watch this tour be in japan or some shit. Like when they (converge) did that tour of japan with planes mistaken for stars and envy.

    Can we get cave in and possibly a reformed deadguy on this one?

    • stu

      US tour. I know a few promoters who have shows.

  • Andy Paige

    So down to see Black Breath..

  • CHUMBAWUMBA

    Converge is fucking overrated. Get off their nuts.

  • http://thedevilsdemons.com Price

    Please please please be true. Killer live bands all around. Would be sick to get Gaza too.

    fuckin sweet! coalesce better be play in mass (obviously the rest of the tour will make it there). for those who dont like converge, especially those who only know them from the mastoklock tour, you probably wont like any of these bands, why are you reading this article, why are you bothering to post, no one cares, trolls are ghey

  • KC

    Holy shit Gaza are actually going to tour? Like legitimately tour something aside from California, Utah, and Texas? If this hits NC or VA I’m definitely there. Already seen Coalesce and Converge, but Gaza have been at the top of my list for quite some time to see live.

  • http://www.philistineonthesidewalk.net Kodiak

    When I ordered the new Gaza disc from the band, their guitarist sent a little notecard with it saying thanks and that they would be touring in my area (Seattle) early this year. Here’s hoping for them and Coalesce, because I’ve been a fan of Coalesce since ’99 and I haven’t seen them live. Converge puts on a manic show, so those three together definitely = pure win.

  • Tanner

    Gaza, Converge AND Coalesce?! OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!!!! Gaza better come to a hometown show!

  • change

    I Don’t Care Where I Function On No Heroes.

  • The Ghost of D. Boon

    Shit I’ll probably miss this tour completely, bummed.

  • Meshuggahhhhhhh

    This is what happens when shitty Hardcore bands try to be Extreme Metal……basically not even knowing what metal is & eventually becoming a cocksucking Noise band…..that is exactly what Converge are……Coalesce are any good either………

    A dog barking through a Distortion induced Mic is not Metal or Hardcore…..its just plain nonsense……so stop getting Hard-ons or jizzing all over the computer or whatever the new retarted term is for getting excited these days.

    • RockOutWithMy…YouKnow

      So what you’re saying is, you’re not a Converge fan?
      OK, gotcha. So why post on a Converge article?

    • I killed a Dunky

      @ Meshuggahhhhhhh POR QUE NO TE CALLAS?

    • stu1

      Yeah, they don’t know what metal is. You’re a fucking jackass.

  • hayisforhorses

    Damn thats hell of a line up, shame i live in blighty

    Gaza… the only good band from Utah.

  • Steph

    Tour the UK you utter bastards.

  • ITTOA666

    This may be the most monotonous and atonal tour ever! Cant wait to not go and enjoy myself sitting at home just knowing I’m not at that show.

  • lybrium

    This is an honest question: I like OX, but WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE CYMBAL SOUND?!?!?!?

    Thank you.

  • 6infinite6hatred6

    UPDATE: That band is called Black Breath, and they announced tour dates today. Check out Converge’s Facebook page.
