Words and Videos by Nik Christofferson
Converge was in town on May 13th and sharing a stage with them was a stellar supporting cast that included Coalesce (who played their first Seattle show in 8 years), current local metal saviors Black Breath, hardcore outfit Touché’ Amore, and local noise addicts Great Falls. Black Breath stirred the pot with their scorching brand of blacken thrash, turning the floor at Neumos into a sea of hair and limbs. This was their night, their show-- easily overshadowing Coalesce’s return and Converge’s legendary status. Converge frontman Jacob Bannon even proudly stated that Black Breath was his current favorite band, a nod they certainly deserved after their 30 minutes left the pit a huddled mass of destruction. Converge came out swinging of course, inciting the pure riotous mayhem that is only available during a Converge performance. The stage divers took over and even Himsa/Heiress frontman John Pettibone hopped on stage after Bannon dedicated the set to the revered local screamer. Metal shows of this caliber are unfortunately few and far between, and some pretty chaotic and amazing shit went down. If you missed it, here are a couple videos to prove my point.
