Friday: Converge - Dark Horse

     Slowly but surely catching up on all things Loud Noises here, so pitter-patter-let's-get-at-'er.

     For a Friday song, we're going with something raucous and balls-out to celebrate the end my marking and the advent of the weekend. What something raucous and balls-out, you ask? Maybe a little bit of hardcore/post-hardcore legends Converge, that's all.

     Friday's tune's going to be "Dark Horse", the high-energy opening track from Converge's 2009 album Axe to Fall. I'm sure Converge fans would point out the classic status of 2001's Jane Doe, but that doesn't mean Axe to Fall is an offering by a band past its prime. Tracks like "Dark Horse" demonstrate that Converge has still got it, and the furious pace of the song's verses is the perfect way to open a record to boot. Prepare yourself.
