Album description

it This text is not available in your chosen language, we are displaying it in its original language.
The ten songs included in their first album “Points of View” are in fact an explosive synthesis of post-metal, rock and electronics sonority. Experimentation and personal emotions are the guidelines of every composition: feelings and interior visions are the starring expressed through the aggression of their metal attitude and through the introspection inspired by the experimentation. Simple, sharp, but never banal, Convergence music try to hit the listener, aiming to his essential emotions. Maybe is in live shows where Convergence better express their musical attitude, through their intense and involving exhibitions.

Nice Music to my ears, my cool tracks are bleed, Six Feet Under, and Silent. The Sounds on the Cd is awesome nu metal, and I like the cover design.
This Cd is really Nice.

The different compositions of each song created a very good album that presents awesome talent and good music.

For the intro and outro of bleed, that epic

the guitar riff in strike the end is simply amazing, and also the one for listen.

Six feet under is the greatest, in my opinion.

For always the same the phone ring is perfect, one more ring and it would've be a disaster, i like how the voice sound in phone.

a very good product.

I felt,basically, what these guys said in their opening state, about their own music, lyrics and vocals. Shouts out to me, very clear, defiantly and precisely and poignant to me, as a avid listener and who really does get what they are projecting and telling me. To which I have included below in my own review as its straight to the point and very honest and open. And resonates and penetrates my own mind and soul. The depth of their own commitment to themselves and their music. As they have hit it full smack on the hit in my opinion..And it awesome..

I Like how it sounds, a mixture between korn and mushroomhead sometimes. And The guitar is raw enough for my tastes.
Great Album!

I'm not a Metal fan and I liked this. If I were a Metal fan it'd be burned right now. Great music.

I liked many of the musical ideas here, but I wish there were more variety, especially in the heavy parts; to me, they were often hard to tell apart.

In Strike the End, when the drums start, I think they clash with the vocals. Other than that, a pretty good song.

The songs that stand out are Bleed and Silent. Both of these songs are very unique compared to the other tracks.

Bleed is my favorite song on the album. I really like the atmosphere. There isn't a single part I don't like, in fact. The lyrics seem vague, but the music certainly makes up for it. An excellent song.

Silent is my second favourite song off the album. I really like the techno like aspect of it. I feel there's a bit too much of the screaming parts.

I hope that the band experiments further with sounds and concepts in their future music.

A solid first album.

Like or similar Korn.

Very good music. I especially like Breath, Train to Leave and Strike the End. Too bad there's only one album.

10/10/09

Nu-metal in its heart, but compensates somewhat by throwing creativity, passion and slightly strange influences into the fray. Songs are straight-to-the-point, apart from curious dabblings in samples and EQ trickery. Verse-chorus-verse-chorus, and cut. Lack of useless repetition within songs, which is good. It's fluid. Not as versatile as it advertises itself to be, "an explosive synthesis of post-metal, rock and electronics sonority", with its main attraction just the continuously repeating (10 times, to be exact) angst-ridden nu-metal shtick. There's one electronic song surprise towards the end, but it's too little and too late (and invariably angsty nonetheless). You get a pretty good impression of the whole album by listening the first few songs. Mainly recommended if you're a fan of the genre.
