The heaviest groove train
It's hard to choose which is the best, Botch: We are the Romans, Dillinger Escape Plan: Calculating Infinity, Converge:Jane Doe or this by Converge. Converge always were incredible from the first release to now the consistency has been superb but this, for me has been their pinicle.
So what do they sound like? Well imagine the grooviest riffs by Zeppelin but infinitely heavier, throw in some jazz timing and some of the most gravelly roars the human throat can muster and this is Coalesce. The sounds are great slabs that smash you across the head. It's just so damn heavy and so damn groovy at the same time. Incredible.

"King Kong was a musical from South Africa that had an all-black cast. It was a fusion of South African traditional music, soul and jazz. It was so powerful when I listened to it for all those nights. I fell in love with that musical, which was a very big part of my life. I think [I was drawn to] the authenticity of the voice of what people call world music or ethnic music coming from the earth, of the people, the hope and their struggle. South Africans are so strong with their emotions and I think Africa itself is an amazing, inspirational place for music, because they live and breathe it. It was for me, a connection with the soul."

"If you wanna talk about soul music, I was a big Motown fan and I came a bit later to Otis Redding, but he just had that bit more edge. Obviously it wasn’t rock, but he could do a Motown song, like ‘My Girl’, but with everything roughed-up. I remember reading that when they recorded it, he’d do three or four takes of each track, and they’d all be different, and you could have used any one of them. And you can hear that: it’s like jazz, almost, these wild interpretations. He was in his prime, and that band was in its prime, Steve Cropper was really flying, and there’s nothing much more to say about it, just an extremely powerful album."

Hot, sexy and hard to put down.

Hawk is exactly how I like my romance, hot, naughty and full of strong characters.

Not only is Hawk a hot ice hockey player but he's a kind hearted man with a love for blues and jazz. He loves Moe, the owner of Moe's, like a father, which is why discovering that he has a daughter is all the more of a surprise for him.

Lexington Waters is a strong, independent woman with an a*shole ex-husband. She consistently pushes herself forward, which I think is a big part of what Hawk finds attractive.

It's great to see a support network that not only has Hawks back but gladly steps in and accepts Lexington.
