From Axe to Fall (2009). Axe to Fall is the seventh studio album by American metalcore band Converge, released on October 19, 2009, by Epitaph Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster Deluxe through an Orange OR120 (Vintage), the rig we use for Converge's other songs from Axe to Fall, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
