Converge's groundbreaking fourth studio album, Jane Doe has received further recognition a decade after its release, with prominent music magazine Rock Sound inducting the album into their Hall of Fame.
The magazine recently attested to the release's impact on the genre and how it still serves as a key album in any contemporary hardcore discussions.
"Let's not beat around the bush - 'Jane Doe' was a gamechanger in the entire realm of heavy music. Punk, metal and hardcore all shifted slightly in the wake of its release in 2001," Rock Sound writes.
In addition, the magazine talked to guitarist Kurt Ballou in their latest issue about his thoughts on Jane Doe.
"We knew we'd created something new and great, but we had no idea how much some people would treasure it and how much staying power it would have," said Ballou.
Rock Sound also caught up with Parkway Drive frontman Winston McCall and asked his opinion on the album.
"Bannon still sounds to this day like nothing and no one I have ever heard…When you combine all these factors – the music, the production, the artwork – you find a record that will never be touched or equalled, something that will still stand the test of time for as long as your eardrums can withstand the torment, which in this day and age of music is a milestone.”
