Giacomo decided to start a new and different musical project, searching a more personal and innovative style. The project got shape when Michelangelo Naldini (Drums), Massimiliano Andrini (Bass) and Alessandro Palladini (Vocals) joined the band in 2003 and started to work on new songs, with the supervision of their producer Giordano Occhi. The results are the ten songs that compose their debut album Points of View which, after two year of self-promotion allowed the band to sign a deal with Casket Records (Uk) and Plastic Head (UK), to distribute the album in Europe and worldwide.
From 2004 to 2006 the band had an intense live activity, playing more than 150 concerts in the main italian clubs and with many italian bands like: Linea 77, Extrema, Exilia, Velvet, Guilty Method. In April 2006 the band did a mini tour in Germany. In July 2006 "Points of view" was distribuited by Casket Records/Plastic Head all over the world, giving the chance to Convergence to tour the Uk. From june to July 2007 the band have done 8 gigs in some cool venue in England and Galles ( for example Underworld-London, The Hub-Exeter, The George-Andover); also supporting cool acts (Mother Superior, My minds weapons, Overshadows). After the tour Convergence started the recordings of their upcoming new album,unfortunatly yet untitled; pruduced by Giordano Occhi, the Album will feature 13 brand new tracks that will be a new explosive mix of Electronic Music and Metal. The Album will be realeased at the beginning of 2008.
To define Convergences music, labelling it with a kind would be reductive: the ten songs included in their first album Points of View are in fact an explosive synthesis of post-metal, rock and electronics sonority. Experimentation and personal emotions are the guidelines of every composition: feelings and interior visions are the starring expressed through the aggression of their metal attitude and through the introspection inspired by the experimentation. Simple, sharp, but never banal, Convergence music try to hit the listener, aiming to his essential emotions. Maybe is in live shows where Convergence better express their musical attitude, through their intense and involving exhibitions.
Bleed
Convergence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trapped inside, outside these walls, trapped inside, outside myself
I try to escape from what is killing me.
They are suffocating me
They are destroying me
They are suffocating me
I feel the pressure grow inside, my mouth is dumb
I cannot scream, all these lights around, are suffocating me.
They wanna see the red inside my veins.
I'm bleeding now, life flows away
I cut my wrist, watching my blood flow.
I cut my neck, to let it go away.
Trapped inside, outside these walls, trapped inside, outside myself
I try to escape from what is killing me.
The lyrics to Convergence's song "Bleed" are dark and intense, reflecting a sense of being trapped and suffocated. The repetition of the phrase "trapped inside, outside" creates a feeling of being stuck between two worlds, unable to fully escape from what is causing the pain. The lyrics suggest that there is something or someone that is killing the singer, whether it is literal or metaphorical.
The line "They want my life, they want my soul" implies a sense of persecution or being pursued by a force that is trying to destroy the singer. The use of violent imagery such as cutting one's own wrist or neck adds to the feeling of desperation and hopelessness. The phrase "watching my blood flow" suggests a sense of release or even relief in letting go of life. The final line "I try to escape from what is killing me" reinforces the sense of being unable to break free from the cycle of pain and destruction.
In many ways, the lyrics can be interpreted as a commentary on mental health and the struggle to break free from negative thought patterns or external pressures. The sense of being trapped and suffocated could represent the feeling of being overwhelmed by a mental health disorder, while the violence and self-harm could represent attempts to cope with the pain. Overall, the lyrics to "Bleed" are intense and thought-provoking, inviting deeper reflection on the themes of pain, struggle, and escape.

I actually started out with a blood thorn/flame build, so I've already been using most of these spells plus more. It puts a smile on my face when he cast his first Nihil. Something about that spell though is that you can spam it, so it's really good when taking on even tougher groups. It also causes quite a bit of poise damage.
Also, a patch came out for the mod that just fixes some stuff.
