Converge are about to release their second album of 2026. Just months after the February release of Love Is Not Enough, their first non-collaborative album in eight years, the Boston metalcore band are getting ready to put out Hum of Hurt. Ahead of the record’s June 5 release, Converge have shared the title track, which you can listen to below.
The album is inspired by The Hum, the name for a mysterious low-frequency sound that only 4% of the world’s population can hear. “What if ‘The Hum’ is the culmination of all the pain in the world, creating an audible signal across the universe?” Converge vocalist Jacob Bannon pondered in a press statement. The album, the band explains, is also not a sequel to Love Is Not Enough. Instead, it was formed out of the band’s desire to make a noise-rock record while creating Love Is Not Enough, a project that ultimately leaned closer to metal.
On April 2, Converge will launch a tour that takes them across North America. The full schedule is also listed below.
