Metalcore heavyweights Converge are set to continue their very prolific modern era, with a second full-length album in 2026 titled Hum Of Hurt reportedly arriving on June 5 via Epitaph Records.
The announcement follows a wave of renewed activity from the band, who only recently returned with Love Is Not Enough earlier this year. That release marked their first mainline Converge album since 2017's The Dusk In Us, but it appears it was just one part of a much larger creative surge.
According to drummer Ben Koller when Converge was working on new stuff, the band entered the sessions armed with an overwhelming pool of material — a sign of just how productive the writing period had become: "27 song ideas had been in the works, with at least 17 of them having been tracked."
With only a portion of that material making it onto Love Is Not Enough, speculation quickly mounted that more music was on the way — a theory seemingly confirmed when a cryptic Converge billboard appeared in Boston, Massachusetts, accompanied by record label branding.
Now, according to Apple Music listings, the band are indeed preparing to release a second album in quick succession. Hum Of Hurt is scheduled for June 5, 2026, and will be preceded by its title track as the lead single, set to arrive online tomorrow, April 1.
