Everything That Rises Must Converge by Sort Sol

Everything That Rises...Must Converge! is the fourth album by the Danish rock act Sort Sol (aka Sods) and the second after renaming of the band. The album name comes from the title of a short story by the American 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, the second guitarist Lars Top-Galia had joined the group, which caused the band's sound to develop into a more hard edged, hard rocking sound, followed by immediate musical sparks between Top-Galia and the group's other guitarist, Peter Peter Schneidermann, who soon named themselves the "Evil Twins". In 1997, the album was reissued with 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 O'Connor. This extra disc has a re-recording of the song "As She Weeps" from the Dagger & Guitar album, but on this version, it is sung by the lead singer Steen Jørgensen instead of the American Lydia Lunch who sung lead vocals on the original version. It also contains a cover version of T.Rex's "Children of the Revolution".
