Riff: Converge – “On My Shield”

Nov 16, 2012

All of our pain is worth it/Together, we fall apart

from On My Shield lyrics by Converge

Starting with a slow, diminished-scale build, morphing into some signature D-Beat speed punk, and ending with a breakdown that puts cookie-cutter metalcore cliche bands to shame – looking at you, Emmure – indeed, Converge – “all your pain is worth it.”
