yea, I really don't think you could put Converge down as a hardcore band, I mean, they're about as metalcore as they come. Though I've never liked making up all these genres to explain a band, Converge just isn't hardcore...Hardcore is, at least to me, really fast and intense punk music. Now Converge, this is just a band that is metal with Bannon screaming in the mic at the top of his lungs, and thats metalcore.
