File this one under ‘if there’s smoke, there’s fire’, but it’s looking like Converge isn’t done releasing new music. Just a little more than a month after the release of their latest album Love Is Not Enough, it seems the Massachusetts-based band is going to announce their next studio effort, Hum Of Hurt — along with its title track — tomorrow.
Though it’s not been officially announced just yet, album details have made their way online through sources like the French premium music streaming service Qobuz. Thanks to that and similar listings, we know that the new album will be released on June 5 via Epitaph Records. We also know it’s once again produced by Converge’s guitarist Kurt Ballou, and we know it features 10 new tracks totaling just about 33 and a half minutes of what’s sure to be unadulterated chaos.
There’s even an unlisted YouTube video for the title track that’s currently unavailable for viewing, but was uploaded a few hours ago. That’s apparently supposed to go live tomorrow, but here’s the rub: tomorrow’s April Fools’ Day, so I’m going out on a limb here to post this as a rumor and potentially get burned by some massive prank.
Either way, the prospect of new Converge music is too exciting not to share with you guys. If it all turns out to be a ruse, good job Converge. You got me. If not, then we’re all winners because fuck yes, new Converge!
