For over three decades, Converge have defined the outer limits of heavy music, shaping hardcore, punk, and metal with unmatched urgency and vision. On Hum Of Hurt, the band's twelfth album and second release of 2026, the band continues to channel decades of creative intensity into a focused and fearless reflection on resilience, connection, and the weight of existence.
Recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios in Salem, Massachusetts, the album captures Converge at another deliberate and dynamic moment - ferocious yet deeply human. Every song hits with precision and purpose, starting with the explosive title track. It's a record that distills the band's restless evolution into a singular, commanding statement. Hum of Hurt is both a reckoning and renewal - proof that after 35 years together, Converge remain one of the most vital and uncompromising forces in modern music.
