Nate Newton

Nate Newton is the bassist in hardcore punk band Converge. He also played bass in Cavalera Conspiracy and Cave In, and he plays guitar and sings in Old Man Gloom and Doomriders.

Newton was a vegetarian for several years, before he returned to eating seafood.

In 1998, Converge bassist Stephen Brodsky left the band and was replaced by Newton, who initially joined the band as a part-time member while he was still active in another band, Jesuit. Jesuit later disbanded in 1999, allowing Newton to make Converge his main focus.

In late 2013, Newton was recruited by Cavalera Conspiracy to contribute on bass guitar for their third studio album.
