You will not be disappointed. Here's a review from a local
rag.

Converge
You Fail Me (Epitaph)
-----------------------------------------------------------
--------
Okay, this is just sick. Along with bands like Knut and
Isis, Converge have always cut the path for heaviosity, but
this new one hits even more to left of centre without ever
sacrificing any of the white-hot rage. Jake Bannon's
caterwaul has never been more devastating, while musically,
these Bostonians obliterate with precision. The electronic
treatment in the title track "You Fail Me" would give Isis a
run for their money, but again it's Bannon's gut-wrenching
scream and guitarist Kurt Ballou's cacophony that show
Converge as inspired as ever. The acoustic strum on "In Her
Shadow," complete with some Blixa Bargeld slidework, pulls
no punches and packs in even more dynamics than Neurosis on
their best days. You need to own this record because it just
doesn't get any heavier than this! 9.5/10

I have never heard this stuff do you have any links?
Anything associated with Einsturzende Neubauten must be
good!

Damn, this is good.....

It kinda reminds me of Godflesh with the crunchy bass just
behind the beat. Long live angry rock

It's really different from Jane Doe which turned me off a
bit on first listen but now I like it a lot. It's so noisy
and chaotic but also calm at times... Very cool stuff
