February 13, 2026 is the release date for Love Is Not Enough, the eleventh album from Converge, which will release on Deathwish / Epitaph, coming during the band's thirty-fifth year together.

The title track debuted today, along with a video.

Notably, the new record features no guest musicians or "studio trickery."

“I think that realism is missing from a lot of modern music of any genre, but especially our genre,” vocalist Jacob Bannon says in a press statement. “Things either go super raw and almost chaotic to the point where it's distracting, or bands take the life out of what they’re doing by editing every aspect. Sometimes the perfect take is the one that has some wildness to it. It's not perfectly executed. There’s a lot of powerful moments on this record and a lot of angry moments. The realism amplifies that.” 

This new album is based on that raw power.

"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,” Bannon says, noting that it runs on momentum rather than highlighting specific singles.

Love Is Not Enough track list:

  1. Love Is Not Enough
  2. Bad Faith
  3. Distract and Divide
  4. To Feel Something
  5. Beyond Repair
  6. Amon Amok
  7. Force Meets Presence
  8. Gilded Cage
  9. Make Me Forget You
  10. We Were Never The Same

Beautiful Ruin
Epitaph\Deathwish Inc (2018)

Converge—Nietzsche’s pissed off nephew, Rilke’s furious friend—achieves a glimmering consummation in a mishmash of fourness (which, in numerology, symbolizes spiritual wholeness). They went from thrash titans to sonic gods; now they flirt with the nasty nebula they came from, dumping what we might consider B-sides, smacking a healthy appetite, and a bitter jaded cheek, awake. Seemingly, they can do no … Read more

The Dusk In Us
Epitaph\Deathwish Inc (2017)

Out of all the bands painted with the seemingly ubiquitous metalcore tag, Converge seem both the most likely to accept the term graciously and rip your throat out for the mere suggestion. But really, they are a true amalgam of both - the sound is the heavy and the vocals and attitude are the core.The Dusk In Us is the … Read more

Epitaph\Deathwish Inc (2012)

This is not a review but more a lament, and I am not sure exactly who or what this lament is meant because there is a definite sense of utter confusion while listening to the latest album, All We Love We Leave Behind, from the almighty Converge on my part; let us get this out of the way since I … Read more
