Metalcore icons Converge have unveiled a special 30-minute version of their track “Aimless Arrow” today on their Bandcamp page. “To keep people entertained in these challenging times, we present ‘Endless Arrow,’ a 30 minute experimental/ambient version of our song ‘Aimless Arrow’ created by Kurt Ballou. This track is offered as a Pay What You Want download now,” the band said in a statement. “Aimless Arrow” stems from Converge’s 2012 studio album All We Love We Leave Behind.

Much like every other band, Converge’s touring plans have been put to a halt because of coronavirus concerns. The outfit have been touring in support of their 2017 studio album The Dusk in Us, which topped the Hard Rock Albums chart.
