About Wear Your Wounds

Wear Your Wounds is an experimental solo project conceived by Converge frontman Jacob Bannon that was intended to provide a creative outlet for material that didn't quite fit the Converge mold. Less abrasive than Bannon's meal-ticket band, WYW operates in a more ambient sonic realm that favors melody and mood over discord. Bannon enlisted Converge bandmate Kurt Ballou, Mike McKenzie (the Red Chord), Chris Maggio (Sleigh Bells), and Sean Martin (Hatebreed) to help flesh out some of his old lo-fi recordings, resulting in the release of an eponymous debut in 2017. Wear Your Wounds expanded into a fully operational band for 2019's Rust on the Gates of Heaven, which featured a lineup consisting of McKenzie, Adam McGrath (Cave In), Sean Martin (Twitching Tongues), and Chris Maggio (ex-Trap Them, ex-Sleigh Bells). The set also featured guest spots from Ben Chisholm of Chelsea Wolfe and Gared O'Donnell of Planes Mistaken for Stars and Hawks & Doves. ~ James Christopher Monger
