It’s no secret that a good many of us on the Heavy Blog staff enjoy Converge. Since 1990, these guys have been making some of the best hardcore out there, consistently pushing their genre forward in ways nobody could have imagined. Last Sunday (September 4) marked the fifteenth anniversary of the band’s seminal release Jane Doe; an album that is still regarded today as legendary and incredibly influential on the metalcore/hardcore scene, and I thought it apt to say a few words about this album. I can still remember to this day the circumstances regarding my first listen of Jane Doe. Sure, I had been interested in what the album represented to the hardcore community—I pretty much drank in everything the Jane Doe Wikipedia page could tell me (because, you know, that’s a great source of information)—but I had never really listened to it beyond a few samples.

But all that changed sometime around sophomore year of college, where fellow Heavy Blog writer Scott Murphy and I took yet another trip to our beloved music store, Newbury Comics. We came out with our bank accounts essentially wiped out, and a hefty bag of CDs in hand, with Scott touting Jane Doe. We were both so psyched to finally listen to this album that we spun it on the ride home while I drove through the back roads New Hampshire in my crappy old Dodge Intrepid. The energy was palpable. Of course, hardcore basically relies on energy, but this was different.
It was raw and powerful. To be fair, though, I was a dumb kid back then; Jane Doe was “just okay” to me in terms of quality; it couldn’t hold a candle to Trivium‘s Ascendency or some other metalcore act I was really digging at the time. (Again: I was stupid.) While Scott jumped onto the Converge bandwagon relatively quickly, I was a little slow.
Jane Doe wasn't released this year, but sometimes you've got to pay dues when they're owed. And Converge might not exactly be heavy metal, either.

It really took me until just a few years ago for this album’s beauty (and Converge’s music in general) to really hit me. But when it did, it was like turning on a flashlight in a pitch-black cave. There’s a lot to say about Jane Doe, from the influence the band subsequently had on other metalcore acts with this album and its sequels to being a milestone in Kurt Ballou’s career as a producer, to the visually chaotic beauty Jacob Bannon brought to the table with the now-iconic Jane Doe album cover. It’s just a monumental album in pretty much every way you could possibly think. But I personally regard the album as one of the first “awakened” hardcore/metalcore releases; it’s a watershed moment where Converge gained a solid sense of identity and awareness, essentially following their own rules as they made them up, following an artistic vision that went beyond any sort of pretension there was and had ever been regarding hardcore music, and affecting every single facet of the band’s creative output for the better. When I use a term like “awakened”, it isn’t meant to be sycophantic, or to assume that Converge was/is some sort of snooty band that are somehow “above” all their fellow hardcore artists. (Honestly, I couldn’t tell you what they were thinking exactly when Jane Doe was being made—only the band could definitively say something like that.) Instead, “awakened” or “aware” is, to me, a sort of objective courage and artistic integrity.
