Ice Nine Kills landed themselves in some hot water over the weekend when they pushed a merch sale on their website with some pretty shitty AI-generated imagery.

Converge has been out on the road ripping through some classics while also introducing fans to new songs from their currently-unannounced new album. Footage of one song called "W.W.N.T.S." has surfaced, which I'm assuming stands for "we were never the same" considering that's one of the lyrics repeated throughout the track. All we know is that Converge has roughly 27 new songs, though it's not clear how many of them were recorded, and how many of that crop made it to the new record.
