Album Review: Converge & Chelsea Wolfe, ‘Bloodmoon: I’

For fans who have witnessed the constant evolution Converge’s raging, tortured metalcore has undergone in the twenty years since their landmark album Jane Doe, the direction of their latest effort should come as no surprise. Arriving five years after the excellent The Dusk in Us, Bloodmoon: I finds the Salem, Massachusetts quartet embracing that album’s sludgier approach as well as the atmospheric darkness that has crept into most of their recent output. Largely thanks to the collaborative nature of the new record, which was created alongside Chelsea Wolfe, her musical partner Ben Chisholm, and Cave In frontman (and former Converge member) Stephen Brodsky, those qualities have finally come into clearer focus. For Wolfe, who has earned a reputation for infusing her gothic songwriting with noisy, punishing instrumentation before stripping things back down on her dreamy 2018 LP Birth of Violence, this crossover serves as an opportunity to explore her fascination with heavy sonics in a new and fruitful environment.

The premise of Bloodmoon: I would make entirely too much sense even if there was never a sign that these artists would one day team up, but the project has been a long time coming. Its roots date back to 2016, when Converge were joined by Wolfe, Chrisholm, and Brodsky at Tilburg’s Roadburn festival to perform songs from the band’s catalog as well as a cover of the Cure’s ‘Disintegration’. But it wasn’t until late 2019 that the group reconvened at guitarist Kurt Ballou’s God City Studios to start working on an album, which was completed remotely due to the pandemic. The first official single that accompanied its announcement, ‘Blood Moon’, encapsulates the unique thrill of hearing these musicians’ distinct voices combine to reach their full potential. In all its majestic, labyrinthine glory, the track delivers everything one might expect from this clash of forces while rejoicing in the intricate dynamics that naturally emerge from it – enough to keep it engaging throughout its 8-minute runtime.

When they work in this as their primary mode, the expanded lineup could be seen as simply another reason for Converge to lean into the slow-burning grandiosity they’ve sometimes favored in the past. But it is clear that the band has approached Bloodmoon: I with the mindset of giving ideas from all fronts equal weight, particularly when comparing it to their other collaborative endeavour, 2009’s Axe to Fall, which featured members of Cave In, Genghis Tron, and Neurosis. Wolfe, Chrisholm, and Brodsky are way more than guests on this project, but it still doesn’t sound like more than the sum of its parts. That’s not necessarily a bad thing: the variation in sound – and especially the influence of Brodsky’s melodic and anthemic songwriting – prevents the record from coming off as one long, exhausting mood experiment.

That it all manages to come together in a cohesive way can partly be attributed to Ballou’s production work, which remains impeccable and textured throughout even if it can’t do much to elevate the album’s weakest cuts; neither the frantic ‘Tongues Playing Dead’ nor the doom-folk of ‘Daimon’ rise above their basic foundations. But when they capture the magic that enthralled the audience that night in the spring of 2016, the results are unshakably hypnotic and captivating. ‘Coil’ – perhaps the only song on the album that carries real emotional heft – augments Wolfe’s entrancing melodies with a dense, muscular backbone, while a harrowing low end fuels the disquieting horror of follow-up ‘Flower Moon’.

It’s tempting to compare Bloodmoon: I to a collaborative effort that preceded it, that between sludge metal outift Thou and singer-songwriter Emma Ruth Rundle, not least because it also originated in that same Dutch festival. Doing so reveals both the album’s drawbacks and its strengths: On one hand, for all its invocations of the supernatural, there really is no mystique surrounding it, no moments of unexpected transcendence. On the other, it’s immaculately crafted, and – despite sprawling into double the runtime of Thou and Rundle’s May Our Chambers Be Full – never once loses its footing or sense of direction. “You cut me open, but I won’t let you find/ What’s under the surface, entombed in my mind,” Wolfe sings on the title song. Retaining that mysterious façade is clearly part of Bloodmoon: I’s appeal – but if its title is meant to tease out some kind of sequel, imbuing it with hints of what lurks underneath might lead to more of a revelation.

Managing Your Mental Health During The Pandemic: 4 Useful Tips On How To Feel Better

Mental health problems are not discussed in the amount that they should be. Especially during the pandemic which led to an increase in this type of problem. Be it because of the isolation from lockdowns or losing a close person due to the virus, these problems are omitted from usual conversations. Tackling these problems is very tough and there is no one solution that can make all of that go away. Here are some tips that can help out a bit to ease this very heavy and unwanted burden.

Legal medication

Medication used to treat depression and anxiety is not a permanent solution, everyone knows that. But, they are quite useful to make the feelings go away for a bit and to help you calm down. One of the mildest medications that can help you not think about the problems is medicinal cannabis. One of the best things about this option is that in the areas where this medication is legal, you can buy your weed online and avoid unnecessary contact with other people. Whatever your prescription tells you, it is best that you stick to it when you are feeling down.

Talking to a therapist

Carrying your emotions and thoughts in your head is a very hard thing to do. It just keeps adding up and sooner or later, all of that can just fill up too much and explode. Talking about your problems is also a very hard thing to do and requires a lot of bravery. It is for the best that you try to talk about them, you do not have to go all out at once. With a therapist, you can do this slowly and gradually within the boundaries that you can be comfortable with.

Talking to your friends or family

This one is very similar to the option of talking to a therapist. If you are not comfortable talking to an unknown person, you can know that your true friends are always there for you. If you know someone who you can trust, you can also try talking to them about it. They may also have some other problems about which you can help out too. That way, you are building a positive feedback loop where everyone feels a bit better about the situation.

It is also okay not to talk about it and take your time

The last thing you would want in a situation with this type of problem is being forced to talk about it when you are not yet able to do it. If you think you are not ready yet and just want some time to think or not think about anything, that is perfectly reasonable. Do not try to force anything out of yourself and know that it is normal to just slow down a bit and take some time for yourself.

These are just some of the tips that can help out a bit in these dire and very hard times. The fact that you are looking this up and trying to find answers is very important. Be it if you want to help someone else or yourself, it is a big step in the right direction. The more awareness and information there is about this, the better for everyone

“This is the first time I’ve done it to the scale and ambition of what I speak,” Kojey said of the new album in a statement. “Previously it’s been ‘I’m warming, I’m warming, I’m warming up.’ But I’m warm now—put me in the game.”

“The whole time I was making this album it felt like there was a lot to be happy about in my life and everyone could see it but me,” he added on social media. “A lot of this album was spent trying to remind myself of all the reasons I had to smile. Going back to what and who inspired me.”

Thyla Share Video for New Single ‘Flush’

Thyla have released a new single from their upcoming self-titled debut album. ‘Flush’ arrives with an accompanying video, which you can check out below.

Talking about the new track, lead singer Millie Duthie said in a statement: “We’ve seen so much polarisation online, social media platforms act as echo chambers for the loudest and most extreme opinions. The situation is always more nuanced than the algorithm allows for. ‘Flush’ is about the state of anxiety caused by comment sections, and about plotting to make some quick money and run away from it all.”

Commenting on the video, she added: “We chose to shoot ‘Flush’ at the abandoned village Tide Mills in East Sussex. The ruins symbolise the destruction of today’s society. We’ve abandoned our sense of community and real-world connections. With the advent of social media we were promised a world of interconnectivity but we’ve ended up in a digital dystopia; a society paradoxically more isolated and alone. The old school computer monitor references the vaporwave aesthetic: shattered dreams and broken promises of utopia.”

Thyla is due out January 28 via Easy Life Records. It includes the previously unveiled singles ‘Gum’ and ‘3’. Read our Artist Spotlight Q&A with Thyla.

Brian Wilson and Jim James Collaborate on New Song ‘Right Where I Belong’

Brian Wilson and My Morning Jacket leader Jim James have released a new collaborative single, ‘Right Where I Belong’. It was written for the soundtrack to Long Promised Road, the documentary about Wilson’s life and career that arrived in limited theaters and VOD earlier this month. Take a listen below.

Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road was directed by Brent Wilson (no relation) and is built around the Beach Boys member’s conversations with longtime Rolling Stone editor Jason Fine. “I was thrilled when Brent and Jason asked me to compose a song for the film,” Brian Wilson told Rolling Stone. “I enjoyed working on the song with Jim; he was the perfect collaborator.”

James added: “In my heart and soul, Brian Wilson’s music has always held a place of such divine importance. It has always been there with me in celebrating life’s greatest triumphs and has also sustained me through some of my darkest hours. His spirit and life story have taught us all to never give up and to always listen to and honor the spirit of each of our own unique creative souls. So it was truly such an honor to create and collaborate with Brian on brand new music for this incredible upcoming film about his life.”

The Long Promised Road soundtrack is out November 26 via Lakeshore Records. Last week, Brian Wilson issued At My Piano, a collection of solo piano renditions of his classic songs.
