Year in Rock 2012 Nominee: Converge

CONVERGE Sadness Comes Home From: All We Love We Leave Behind Released: October 9 When it comes to sheer force and brutality, there isn't much out there that competes with Converge's All We Love We Leave Behind (the main competition in that department will be covered in two days). Roping you in with a lazy, doomy lick, Sadness Comes Home soon explodes into a cacophony of fleet-fingered riffing and unhinged howling.

Potpourri: This Might Take A Couple Of Hours

Jeez Louise, I go away for two days and the news just piles up. I have no excuse, however, for all the other stuff over the past two weeks that I neglected and/or forgot. Anyway, first on the docket is a brand new single from How To Destroy Angels, the musical brainchild of Mr. & Mrs. Trent Reznor. In lieu of new NIN (which, as we've been assured, is in the pipeline), Keep It Together serves an admirable purpose of tiding us longtime fans over.
