Converge got us good, didn’t they? On April 1, less than two months after the release of their long-awaited 10th studio album Love Is Not Enough, the Massachusetts metalcore heroes announced Hum Of Hurt, their second full-length of 2026. They got me good, anyway. I profiled Converge for the cover of Decibel back in February, and over the course of an hour-long interview with all four members of the band, no one let slip that there was another album coming on the heels of Love Is Not Enough. There were a few moments in that interview that I clocked as odd at the time, where one member would try to stop another from going down a particular conversational road, but I guess my journalistic instincts were rusty. I figured that was just how long-running bands handle their internal business, and I moved on. I got got!
