Converge is proud to release the film/video for "Precipice / All We Love We Leave Behind", directed by Craig Murray (Converge, Oxbow, Narrows). Watch it now at Pitchfork: http://pitchfork.com/news/54784-converge-share-precipice-all-we-love-we-leave-behind-video/ . Both tracks appear on Converge's 2012 full-length, All We Love We Leave Behind, out now on Epitaph/Deathwish Inc.
The video was conceptualized by Murray, using the narrative put forth of the death of a canine companion as told in J. Bannon’s lyrical writings. Murray uses powerful visual metaphor and imagery to communicate the crushing weight of loss and the strength of unconditional love the song explores.
To coincide with this release, Converge is offering an apparel design featuring visuals from the film/video. The design is available through the Converge online store http://www.kingsroadmerch.com/converge/ 100% of the proceeds from this design will go to the Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, Massachusetts (US).
