Friends Converge

06/20/06
. (antiMusic) Converge are hard at work on their new studio album. The band issued a studio update on Monday letting fans know that the drum and bass tracks are done and work is underway on guitar and vocals but the big news came in the form of the band receiving a little help from their friends. The CD is set to feature a plethora of guest performances. Here is what the band announced.

We've had some guests perform on the album so far: JR Conners (ex Cave In, now of Doomriders) and Alex Garcia-Rivera (Bloodhorse, ex-454 Big Block, ex-GUTG) added a bit of percussion during a recent session. Kurt and Jake also added a bit of percussion as well during that session. Vocally, Jonah Jenkins (Septic Youth Command, ex-Only Living Witness, ex-Miltown, etc) will be contributing shortly, as well as Kevin Baker (The Hope Conspiracy). We all excited to have those two aboard as guests on this recording. It means a great deal to us.
