Converge Announce First New Album In Eight Years, ‘Love Is Not Enough,’ Share Title Track

On Wednesday (November 19), Converge shared details of their new album, Love Is Not Enough, which is set for release on February 13 via Deathwish/Epitaph. The announcement was accompanied by a music video for the project’s intense title track, which was written, directed, shot, and edited by George Gallardo Kattah. Love Is Not Enough marks the metalcore band’s first full-length album since 2017, excluding a 2021 collaboration with Chelsea Wolfe, with guitarist Kurt Ballou recording the 10-track album at his God City studio in the group’s hometown of Salem, Massachusetts. Frontman Jacob Bannon reveals that the album “does a thing that no other Converge record does — it keeps ramping up. And that’s definitely by design,” while noting that despite the long break between studio releases, “We still identify this band as the outlet that’s essential to our lives. We give everything we have to it.” Exclusive colored vinyl and CDs are available for pre-order at Converge’s webstore. (Consequence of Sound)
