Converge frontman Jacob Bannon is an oddball. That much has been known since the band's first few records bore surreal, eerie artwork of his own creation. Bannon's affinity for art and music has led him into a variety of other endeavors, including his own record label, Deathwish, and lots of independent art on the side.
Bannon wrote All You Love You Leave Behind, Converge's most recent record, about the death of his beloved dog, who Bannon felt was constantly neglected because of touring and other necessities, and the music video the band released echoes that powerful sense of loss. According to Pitchfork, Bannon has also released a new shirt, the proceeds of which will go to a Massachusetts animal shelter. You can find the shirt here and stream the video below:
