Wear Your Wounds Debut Album WYW out April 7

I don’t think a certain kind of breadth from Converge and its component members was ever really in doubt, but the scope continues to expand as frontman Jacob Bannon readies to debut his project Wear Your Wounds at Roadburn 2017 next April. You might recall Converge played two sets at the same fest this past April, one of them the classic Jane Doe in its entirety and the other a special set comprised of their slower, sludgier material from throughout the years. Both were intense highlights, and Bannon‘s Wear Your Wounds will hit Roadburn 2017 just after the first album, WYW, is released via his own Deathwish Inc. imprint. Bet your ass that timing is purposeful.

Obviously we’ve got a while to go before April gets here, but the PR wire announced the album thusly:

WEAR YOUR WOUNDS (SOLO PROJECT OF CONVERGE’S JACOB BANNON) ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM & LIVE PERFORMANCE

WYW LP due out April 7th from Deathwish, See the live performance at this year’s Roadburn Festival

Wear Your Wounds is the product of years of lo-fi solo recordings by Converge founder Jacob Bannon. On this debut release, WYW (out April 7th on Deathwish), Bannon is joined by guest musicians Kurt Ballou (Converge), Mike McKenzie (The Red Chord, Stomach Earth, Unraveller), Chris Maggio (Sleigh Bells, Trap Them, Coliseum), and Sean Martin (Hatebreed, Cage, Kid Cudi, Twitching Tongues). Together they have created a powerful album that is unlike anything they have ever individually worked on. The album is comprised of ten emotionally heavy songs that call to the slower, more epic leanings of Converge, as well as Bannon’s previous work in Supermachiner. Wear Your Wounds brings to mind the dense multi-layered approach of Swans and early Pink Floyd, while being as vulnerable as influences Sparklehorse, Songs: Ohia, other like minded artists.

Wear Your Wounds will reveal itself in a live setting on April 22nd at Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, The Netherlands as part of John Dyer Baizley’s curation. Find more information about this special Roadburn performance here. Wear Your Wounds live will feature Bannon joined on stage by musicians Mike McKenzie, Chris Maggio, Adam McGrath (Cave In, Zozobra, Nomad Stones), and Sean Martin.
