Wear Your Wounds shows an even darker side to Jacob Bannon

Jacob Bannon has been a huge source of inspiration to me since Converge came into my life nearly twenty years ago. While I have always been a fan of the aggressive nature of his vocal delivery, hearing Bannon do something completely different with Wear Your Wounds is wonderful.

It has been a long time coming, so when the haunting neo-folk of ‘Goodbye Old Friend’ was finally unveiled, I was drawn to it straight away. The lo-fi recording, the mood building tension, and Bannon showing a softer, almost serene approach exposes an even darker side to his writing. It’s not an easy listen, but one you must invest in if you are fan of Jacob Bannon.
