Riff: Converge – “Sadness Comes Home”

Nov 5, 2012

Cursed to be your second best/This amber soul will find no rest

from Sadness Comes Home lyrics by Converge

Axe-man Kurt Ballou channels Van Halen-style 80’s tapping for a straight-ahead, fun metal version of Converge here. Bannon’s despair-is-inevitable screed fits the old-school metal vibe, but this is also the sole time that this guy‘s critique holds water. Stadium rock is an exaggeration, though.
