About the album

Converge announced Hum Of Hurt on April 1, 2026 by simply putting out the title track, only a couple of months after Love Is Not Enough, which took plenty of fans by surprise. A late sprint of writing left the band with far more material than one album could hold, and Kurt Ballou preferred two shorter records to one long one, reasoning that listeners these days don't have the patience for a double album.

Jacob Bannon says the title refers to the hum of the Earth itself, and the ten songs run from the opening "Slip The Noose" and "Doom In Bloom" through "Detonator" to the closing "Nothing Is Over." The band had set out to make a noise-rock record, and while neither 2026 album ended up there, Bannon reckons this one has more of that original spirit. Two albums in one year from a band in its fourth decade; some of us struggle to put out the recycling.
