Sometimes the perfect take is the one that has some wildness to it. It&#8217;s not perfectly executed. There\u2019s a lot of powerful moments on this record and a lot of angry moments. The realism amplifies that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Bannon also shares that the album <em>&#8220;keeps ramping up&#8221;<\/em> by design. <em>&#8220;Internally, we passed around dozens of ideas for sequencing because everyone interprets music differently, and there\u2019s 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The announcement of &#8216;Love Is Not Enough&#8217; also sees the band share its title track. Bannon comments that it is a song that <em>&#8220;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 &#8211; if we can fend off the scavengers.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Converge - &quot;Love Is Not Enough&quot;\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qxelfxGa2oo?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Converge<\/strong> will be returning to the UK in June at the Outbreak Festival in Manchester.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ah-infobox\" style=\"max-width: 80%; margin: 0 auto 20px auto; padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #000; text-align: center;\"><style>.ah-infobox p:last-child { margin-bottom: 0; }<\/style><p>\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-100883\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ART_Converge-_LoveIsNotEnough_3kpx-800x800.webp\" alt=\"Converge Love Is Not Enough Album Artwork\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ART_Converge-_LoveIsNotEnough_3kpx-800x800.webp 800w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ART_Converge-_LoveIsNotEnough_3kpx-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ART_Converge-_LoveIsNotEnough_3kpx-100x100.webp 100w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ART_Converge-_LoveIsNotEnough_3kpx-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ART_Converge-_LoveIsNotEnough_3kpx.webp 1250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>\n1.
