Nate Newton (born October 9, 1975) is an American musician. He is the bassist and backing vocalist of the hardcore punk band Converge,[1] the rock band Cave In and also the guitarist and singer in Old Man Gloom[2] and Doomriders.[3] Newton has also been a guitarist and vocalist in Jesuit and bassist in Cavalera Conspiracy.[4]
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.[5] In 2018, Newton joined Cave In after the death of bassist/vocalist Caleb Scofield. Newton was a vegetarian for several years, before he returned to eating seafood.[6]
