Converge Announce New Album: Love Is Not Enough

It seems unlikely that anyone who has been making music for this long would create one of their best works for their eleventh album, in their 35^th year as a band. And yet: Love Is Not Enough— incoming February 13, 2026— might be the apotheosis of Converge’s decades-long journey through the punk, hardcore and metal microcosm. What vocalist/lyricist Jacob Bannon, guitarist/producer Kurt Ballou, bassist/vocalist Nate Newton and drummer Ben Koller have created is a strident artistic statement on the turmoil of living that hones their collective strengths to a razor’s edge.

Today, Converge shares the album's title track / music video "Love Is Not Enough." The song is intensely emotional, and lyrically 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," comments Bannon.
