two masterworks, both heralded a new direction for the band: Vol 4 saw them shift from a critique of the external world--poverty, war, & drugs to an introspective fantasia of self doubt...
& drugs.
8yrs later & Sabbath were again swirling in doubt-- doubt and loss... /1

...Ozzy's departure a decade after the band's founding left them looking inward again toward a host of insecurities old & new. Dio became the vehicle through which they projected themselves like a prism, bursting forth into a world of internal Fantasy projected outward... /2

while Vol. 4 & Heaven and Hell are almost perfect directional opposites of one another, their results are the same: innovation overflowing with creativity and aplomb.

Black metal is a personal emotional catharsis. Although it can be experienced collectively, it is fundamentally a resistance to all that is external. It is a journey to achieve mental, emotional and soulful solitude. In the end, religion and politics have little to do with it.

Francisco Goya (1746 - 1828)
His "black paintings" collection is still hauntingly beautiful. A unique style from his later years which depicts a bleak view on humanity.

the Vol. 4 today is...
HUM OF HURT

Sturgeon's Law says, "90% of everything is crap" & may have been written with Metalcore in mind but Converge is not the other 10% either.

...constitute what I would say are the 1% of the truly great & unique "Metallic Hardcore" bands that make the subgenre what it is (or ought to be). Dillinger & Spiritbox probably round out the other 9% but don't ask how the math* works. /2

But they haven't put out an album for like half a decade and now in 2026 they put out TWO!!
HUM OF HURT is an awful title but an incredible record! Unfortunately, there's a title track (still awful) but fortunately it fucks in all the ways ~1% Metalcore fucks!
