Rating: I didn't know anything about it; I didn't know anything.
This afternoon, while messing around on YouTube, I stumbled upon the cover of "Disintegration" by The Cure. Yes, you read that right: Converge, from Salem Massachusetts, tackling Robert Smith!! It's unbelievable, but it's pure truth.
I immediately start searching and read about the Y2K EP that the band of Jacob Bannon and Kurt Ballou released in 1999.
Three tracks for three covers. Just under 14 minutes of massacre, blood from the eardrums, auditory terror.
Vio-lence (pre-Machine Head band), Black Sabbath, and The Cure are being abused by the champions, the leading figures of Metalcore - Mathcore.
All of this is sadistically opened by the cry of a baby; a cry that is interrupted by a gunshot. Disturbing...
That's how "Serial Killer" begins with Jacob’s tortured, broken, delirious voice dominating over everything. Two minutes of panic; the Thrash Metal of Vio-lence is sodomized by this bunch of lunatics.
Because I've always considered Converge a band of madmen, lunatics, mentally ill...
The ruthless war resumes with "Snowblind", recorded live, from Black Sabbath. The same treatment, no mercy for Ozzy and company. They make a clean slate; annihilating.
The beastly trip ends with "Disintegration"...hallucinatory.
From nervous breakdown...
Nothing else is needed.

01 Serial Killer ()
I've tasted the thrill of the kill the thrill of my victims.
I'm crushing,
Destroying,
A figure of speach.
My mind is lost eternally out of my reach,
Richard, in you glass case, stand to be judged.
Written there all over your face,
Ted, a twelve year old.
Your body should rot in public for all the women you've killed. Run for your life I'm the serial killer,
I've come to bury you today,
No family, no funeral, no rosaries for...
Slain on this hillside.
My silent grave,
That's where you lay.
Buried dead bodies behind.
Their last words are still etched so clearly into his mind. Driven, possessed by wil,
A will that takes over and drives him out for the kill.
Submit, submit to me now.
He screams out in anger,
Blood thisty as you cower down.
It's time, he raises the blade.
You cry out to god,
For your innocent life to be saved.
Run for your life I'm the serial killer,
I've come for your life today,
I'm the serial killer,
I've come to bury you today,
No family, no funeral, no rosaries for...
Slain on this hillside,
My silent grave,
That's where you lay.
