An unavoidable reference in contemporary heavy music, the American band CONVERGE brings to EVILLIVE FESTIVAL the raw and transformative intensity that redefined hardcore and modern metal.

Formed in 1990 in Salem, Massachusetts, CONVERGE has built a unique career over more than three decades, based on an artistic approach that has always prioritised authenticity, emotion and constant reinvention. Led by vocalist Jacob Bannon and guitarist Kurt Ballou, the American collective has established itself as one of the most influential creative forces in contemporary heavy music, playing a central role in the evolution of hardcore and the consolidation of metalcore as a relevant and respected artistic language. Widespread recognition came with the release of «Jane Doe» in 2001, an album widely considered a seminal work within extreme music, whose intensity, complexity and aesthetic identity continue to influence new generations of musicians. Subsequent records such as «You Fail Me», «Axe To Fall», «All We Love We Leave Behind», «The Dusk In Us» and the new «Love Is Not Enough» confirmed their ability to expand the boundaries of their sound while maintaining unwavering artistic integrity. At the same time, CONVERGE consolidated a unique reputation on stage, with performances marked by absolute physical and emotional commitment, where the urgency and tension of the songs take on a particularly intense dimension.
