CONVERGE RELEASE ‘BEAUTIFUL RUIN’ E.P. AND SHARE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “MELANCHOLIA”

CONVERGE RELEASE ‘BEAUTIFUL RUIN’ E.P. AND SHARE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “MELANCHOLIA” The 4-song E.P. is available now on digital and 7inch formats from Epitaph/Deathwish Inc. / See Converge on tour with Neurosis July 6th through 21st.

Boston-based heavy music pioneers Converge have released a new four song E.P. titled Beautiful Ruin.  Recording during The Dusk In Us sessions, this E.P. completes the release of all their recorded material from that time period.  Each song on Beautiful Ruin is a staccato burst of emotion from Converge at their most raw; viciously precise yet alluringly out of control.  
  
  
 Watch and share the powerful music video for “Melancholia,” which appears on Beautiful Ruin, on YouTube.
  
  
 Beautiful Ruin  was produced and mixed by Kurt Ballou at his renowned Godcity Studios  in Salem, MA and follows Converge’s ninth full-length album, The Dusk In Us, which  was released in November of 2017.  The album received Best Of accolades  from Rolling Stone, Stereogum, Revolver, Metal Hammer, The Independent,  Loudwire, and more.  Beautiful Ruin is out today from Epitaph / Deathwish Inc. and is available for purchase now from ConvergeCult.com.
