Halo in a Haystack is the debut album by American metalcore band Converge, released in 1994 through Earthmaker Records.[2]

Overview

To fund the making of the record, vocalist Jacob Bannon saved up money from working at a nursing home.[3] The record was released as a black vinyl and is not available in any other format. Only a 1000 copies of this record were made and the record has not been reprinted since. However all of the record's tracks with the exception of the 9th track "Exhale" can be found on later Converge releases such as 1997's Caring and Killing and 2002's Unloved & Weeded Out.
