Some might claim that Converge's 2004 concert at Iðnó helped fan the flames of yet another Icelandic hardcore renais-
sance that was brewing at the time and culminated in milestone releases by bands such as I Adapt, Fighting Shit and Gavin
Portland (fun fact: Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou produced Gavin Portland's criminally overlooked 'IV: Hand In Hand With
Traitors, Back To Back With Whores'). Others probably don't agree. Regardless, Converge tore the house down and left Reyk-
javík's extreme music lovers with burst eardrums, gaping mouths and some fresh ideas.
And now they're back! Whoa! Fun times! We have high hopes for their Sódóma appearance, and assuming they didn't
start sucking during live over the last seven years, the show should leave no heart untouched, no skull unsplit. Plus their
opening bands, For a Minor Reflection and LOGN are pretty great, too.
See you there.
