Everything That Rises Must Converge (album)

"Everything That Rises Must Converge" is the fourth album by Danish rock act Sort Sol (aka Sods). The album name comes from the title of a short story by Southern Gothic writer Flannery O'Connor. The album was released in 1987 and showed another change of direction for the group. Before the recording of the album 2nd guitarist Lars Top-Galia had entered the group, which caused the band's sound to developed into a more hard edged, hard rocking sound, followed by immediate musical sparks between Lars Top-Galia and the group's other guitarist Peter Peter Schneidermann who soon named themselves the "Evil Twins". The album was too reissued. The reissued features a whole disc of outtakes and b-sides called "The Violent Bear It Away", which was intended to be the title of the album and is also the title of a short story by Flannery O'Connor. The extra features a re-recording of the song "As She Weeps" from the Dagger & Guitar album, but on this version it is sung by lead singer # Steen Jørgensen instead of American singer Lydia Lunch who sung lead vocals on the original version. It also contains a cover of T.Rex's "Children of the Revolution".
