Converge never miss. The metalcore heroes’ last two albums — 2017’s The Dusk In Us and 2021’s Chelsea Wolfe collab Bloodmoon: I — both earned Album Of The Week honors. Now they’re announcing their new LP Love Is Not Enough.
The title track is out today, and vocalist Jacob Bannon says it “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.”
About the album, which was recorded and mixed by guitarist Kurt Ballou at God City in Salem, MA, Bannon adds:
It does a thing that no other Converge record does — it keeps ramping up. And that’s definitely 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.
