Converge released like the greatest album ever in 2008, with Axe To Fall, and they are apparently on their way to writing a new one. The band just posted a long update updating their current status. The band is putting the finishing touches on a split 7" with Dropdead, that they hope to have available by the time they hit the road in late May. The band is also demoing new songs for a full length album, but as Kurt Ballou revealed our recent interview, the band is nowhere near done and we shouldn't expect the release this year. But you should expect a live DVD release. After the jump, check out tour dates:
