Converge Want to Continue Bloodmoon Series of Collaborative Albums

In a recent interview with Talking Records, Converge vocalist and project masterind Jacob Bannon said that the band will release a second collaborative album in the Bloodmoon series.

Bloodmoon: I was released in 2021 and featured Stephen Brodsky, former Converge bassist now of Cave In and Mutoid Man, Chelsea Wolfe, and Chelsea Wolfe collaborator Ben Chisholm.

Bannon also hinted that there may be a Bloodmoon: III and beyond, and that Brodsky, Wolfe, and Chisholm will work on this next record as well, along with some surprise guests. However, he didn’t promise a timeline.

“There is a Bloodmoon: II—and hopefully more will be recorded … A lot of music when we initially the first Bloodmoon sessions, and it’s just sort of mutating and evolving into its own thing. Definitely Ben and Chelsea are involved, and Steve’s involved. We might have some other people work with us too that are friends. Just, you know, put something together that is sonically interesting to us.

“We’ll get there, it’s just there’s only so much time in the day. We want to be able to travel and do our normal bands too. So, we’re trying to make time for it. We will.”

The Bloodmoon collaboration was initially formed in 2016 when the collabortors from the first record played Converge songs with a post rock influence live alongside Steve Von Till of Neurosis. This has fans begging the question: Will Von Till be involved in this next project?
