Hum Of Hurt is Converge's second album of 2026, following on from Love Is Not Enough, which was released in February.

“It’s not a sequel,” says frontman Jacob Bannon. “The unifying musical idea early on was, Let’s make a noise rock album. But we never really did. The first one wasn’t. This one touches on that spirit, but it’s much more dynamic than that descriptor.

“To me, it leans more into being an emotional hardcore album, while Love Is Not Enough feels more metal leaning album. In the end, we simply gave creative birth to another Converge record with its own unique identity and character.”
