"When we came together to write, we ended up with a wealth of material. As work progressed we realized we had created two separate albums, and treated them as such."
"It's not a sequel. The unifying musical idea early on was, 'Let's make a noise rock album.' But we never really did. The first one wasn't."
"For the cover, I had a vision of an EKG signal fusing with some kind of volatile seismography. This amalgamation represents the conditions that would theoretically create a 'Hum.'"
Converge will release their twelfth album, Hum of Hurt, on June 5. This follows their first album in nine years, Love Is Not Enough. The new album was recorded by guitarist Kurt Ballou and features artwork by Jacob Bannon and Thomas Hooper. An exclusive vinyl variant is available, limited to 500 copies. Bannon noted that the band created two separate albums during their writing process, with Hum of Hurt leaning towards emotional hardcore, while Love Is Not Enough is more metal-oriented. The cover art symbolizes a fusion of EKG signals and seismography.
