PREVIEW THE NEW CONVERGE/NAPALM DEATH SPLIT

Normally I think that thirty-second song previews are bullshit (it’s like watching one little tiny dialogue exchange from a movie to try and get a feel for the whole scene), but most thirty-second song previews don’t come from the previously-announced Converge/Napalm Death split. Both songs are brand new (the Converge track previewed is called “No Light Escapes,” the Napalm Death cut is called “Will by Mouth”), making this entire endeavor even more exciting — and it already had to be one of the most highly-anticipated splits of the year.

Check out the previews after the jump, then pre-order the split here or here. Each band will also have a second song on the split —  Converge will offer “a ‘We Are The World’ styled rendition of the influential Entombed classic ‘Wolverine Blues’” featuring guest appearances by Tomas Lindberg (Disfear, At The Gates, Lock Up), Aaron Turner (Isis, Old Man Gloom, Split Cranium), Kevin Baker (All Pigs Must Die, The Hope Conspiracy), Brian Izzi (Trap Them), “and more,” while Napalm Death’s side will also include another new song, ”No Impediment To Triumph (Bhopal).” Converge should also have a new album out later this year, drool.
