Surprise Release: Converge Unleashes "Hum of Hurt," Their Second Full-Length Album of 2026

In a move that has stunned the global hardcore and metal community, Converge has officially released their second full-length album of 2026, Hum of Hurt. Following the success of Love Is Not Enough released earlier this February, the band continues their relentless creative streak via Epitaph Records and Deathwish Inc.

Hum of Hurt is described as a darker, more atmospheric counterpart to its predecessor, blending the band's signature chaotic energy with haunting, melodic textures. Vocalist Jacob Bannon delivers some of his most visceral performances to date, particularly on the title track and the crushing closer, "Nothing Is Over."

Fans can stream the full album now, with vinyl pre-orders set to ship later this July. This release solidifies Converge's status as the undisputed kings of modern heavy music, proving that even after decades, they remain at the absolute vanguard of the scene.
