With the brutal hardcore album covered, it's time to talk about the nuanced hardcore album of the year. There was a lot riding on this album, some would say too much. Converge has a legacy to live up to and thankfully The Dusk in Us does not disappoint. The beauty of Converge is their ability to balance the most scathing music with occasional tender emotion and introspection. Those addicted to extreme emotion, extreme expression should do themselves a favor and give this some time. Eardrums will be pierced, cheeks will be damp, sleep will be difficult and it'll all be completely worth it.
