Bio

Jacob Bannon (vocalist/lyricist for Converge, co-founder of Deathwish) has been one of the most influential and praised figures in aggressive music for over a decade. Never content in having one sole musical voice, he has always experimented outside of his efforts in Converge since their early 90's inception. After years of experimenting with home recordings on his own, he collaborated with friends Ryan Parker and Kurt Ballou to release Supermachiner "Rise of The Great Machine" album in 2000. Comprised of original four track recordings and studio reworks of solo material, the album was a serious departure from his previous efforts in Converge. Textural, dark, and uniquely unclassifiable, the album was praised by press worldwide. With the release of The Blood Of Thine Enemies, J. Bannon has given fans a long awaited taste to his minimalist solo meanderings. Ambient and wandering, the 7" single is taste of things to come. A full length solo album entitled 'Wear Your Wounds' is expected out late 2010. Read more on Last.fm.
