No. 7: Converge, ‘Fault and Fracture’ – Top 21st Century Metal Songs

They defy classification, they create inhuman sounds and they released the most significant extreme record of the 2000s, 'Jane Doe.' Converge's demented masterpiece is home to the brain-scrambling track 'Fault and Fracture.'

Notable for some of the most insane guitar work of Kurt Ballou's career, with equally brilliant performances from the other Converge members, 'Fault and Fracture' shattered many preconceptions of what an extreme band could achieve creatively and conceptually. Enough with the description, just prepare yourself for the phenomenal chaos of Converge.
