Converge Detail New Album (‘Love Is Not Enough’)

Influential metalcore/hardcore band Converge will make their return on February 13th, 2026, with the release of their 11th studio album, ‘Love Is Not Enough’.

Described as the epitome of the quartet’s thirty-plus-year career, it sees Converge create a record that takes pride in being authentic, without studio trickery or special guests. “I think that realism is missing from a lot of modern music of any genre, but especially our genre,” vocalist Jacob Bannon says. “Things either go super raw and almost chaotic to the point where it’s distracting, or bands take the life out of what they’re doing by editing every aspect. Sometimes the perfect take is the one that has some wildness to it. It’s not perfectly executed. There’s a lot of powerful moments on this record and a lot of angry moments. The realism amplifies that.”

Bannon also shares that the album “keeps ramping up” by design. “Internally, we passed around dozens of ideas for sequencing because everyone interprets music differently, and there’s no right way of doing it. When we do that, we always joke that we all have to be equally unhappy. But this is the one that works.” 

The announcement of ‘Love Is Not Enough’ also sees the band share its title track. Bannon comments that it is a song that “explores what it means to remain empathetic and compassionate in the modern world. A reckoning with who we are today and hope to be in the future – if we can fend off the scavengers.”

Converge will be returning to the UK in June at the Outbreak Festival in Manchester.
