I like the idea of bringing in that visual aspect it seems really daunting to me because it’s just something that I’ve never been able to do. It’s always been like, you get up there, and you take nothing, and you make it into something. Coming from playing hardcore it’s always been the antithesis of that. And now we’re just waiting to dump the garbage cans back on ourselves.Ĭhelsea has toured with a stage set and she’s very particular about her visuals, and how her live set is presented. Had COVID not happened, we probably would have already been done recording an album, but everything got thrown into the you know, into the garbage. But we have a lot of material to work with. We had a few rehearsals where at least all the East Coast people got together and you know, worked on some ideas and sent those to Ben and Chelsea. Nate: “It’s just been everybody like sending ideas around and then people adding to them. Yeah, my imagination really has been running wild with it, and I’m stoked to jump back in when we can.” Going into Blood Moon I was really excited to sort of conceptualise that to some of the stuff that we were writing and expand upon it and, you know, having everybody chiming in and that sort of way, so, I don’t know. Stephen: “One of my favourite Converge songs is “Worms Will Feed.” And the thing I love about that song aside from being just like a slow burning bruiser is the vocal orchestration – the way that the vocals are spread out between Nate, Jake and Kurt. Kurt and I have discussed this.” Nate & Stephen on their new collaborative band Blood Moon with Chelsea Wolfe:

And just as a real primal, just quintessential sonically ear pleasing scoop. Stephen: “I was really impressed by what Kurt and I call “The Scoop” in Nate’s voice that’s that like this rising thing that comes from the guttural insides and it’s got an upwards trajectory from the soul projected out of the mouth hole. Steve Brodsky on Nate Newton and “The Scoop”: Watch on YouTube or listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Highlights from our hour-long conversation are below.
