With the album, Converge are now one of many musicians and acts that have donated money or are raising funds to support those affected by Hurricane Helene.
Earlier this month, Hurricane Helene hit the Southeastern states of the US, laying waste to cities such as Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and many more. At the time of writing, the hurricane has resulted in an estimate of more than 220 deaths, while hundreds of others remain missing. Hundreds of thousands of homes are without power and infrastructural damage is widespread.
Since then, Dolly Parton has donated US$1million of her own money to relief efforts, while Morgan Wallen donated half of that to provide aid to those in need.
MJ Lenderman also announced the postponement of several US tour dates due to the damage caused by the hurricane – especially in North Carolina, where the musician’s band and their families are based.
