Ballou Watch: Spring 2013

It's no secret that I have a man crush on Converge's Kurt Ballou--not only for his ability to play the guitar like no one else I've ever seen, but also for his incredible talent as a sound engineer. Converge had a little down time over the last few weeks, which Ballou used to nonchalantly pump out a few albums that will easily land on many best of 2013 lists. Here's a few highly anticipated albums that will see the light of day in spring/summer.

New Discovery: Generation of Vipers

This looks like my first post in a while about a new discovery, though this doesn't mean I haven't been quietly making them behind the scenes. I was inspired to post a blog about my latest find, Generation of Vipers, as opposed to my other more recent finds because of how easy it was to sink into this album.
