Hardcore group Converge have teamed up with Chelsea Wolfe, Ben Chisholm and Stephen Brodsky for a collaborative album titled Bloodmoon I, and have shared a lead single titled "Blood Moon".

"Blood Moon" is the first outing from Converge, Wolfe, Chisholm and Brodsky's new album, and is teamed with an Emily Birds-directed video.

Stereogum reports that Converge's frontman Jacob Bannon said of the collaboration, "We wanted to do something grander than the typical four-piece Converge music."

Accordinng to Pitchfork, they started working on the Kurt Ballou-produced project back in 2016. Wolfe said, "The project stretched my vocals in new ways. It’s so different than what I normally sing over that I was able to open up and be vulnerable with my vocals."

Tracklist:

Blood Moon
Viscera Of Men
Coil
Flower Moon
Tongues Playing Dead
Lord Of Liars
Failure Forever
Scorpion’s Sting
Daimon
Crimson Stone
Blood Dawn

"Blood Moon" is out now. Converge, Chelsea Wolfe, Ben Chisholm and Stephen Brodsky's Bloodmoon I album is due to arrive digitally on 19 November via Epitaph, and physically on 24 June 2022 via Deathwish.
