Feb 13, 2026This 11th full-length finds the Massachusetts maulers’ mastery of heavy music not just undimmed but enhanced.
-
Mar 10, 2026A powerful project that somehow manages to clear the already insanely high bar Converge has set for itself.
-
Feb 13, 2026Solidifies the Salem, Massachusetts four-piece’s continued brilliance. These 10 tracks, which clock in at a tight 31 minutes, waste not a milli-second of that sharp runtime. Every moment is calculated with ruthless precision and designed for maximum emotional impact.
-
Feb 13, 2026It’s rare for a metal band to still sound fresh this long after forming, and even rarer when they’ve spent almost all of their career in one subgenre.

The WireFeb 24, 2026It sounds vast and brutal. An early salvo of sub three minute crunchers peak with the juddering, wounded "To Feel Something", and the galloping metal number "Make Me Forget You" is the highlight of a longer closing trio. [Mar 2026, p.60]

Feb 13, 2026Love Is Not Enough is never not invigorating (save for “Beyond Repair”), but its more vicious songs are such refreshing evidence of Converge’s vitality that every departure from that energy feels like a pulled punch.

Feb 13, 2026Love Is Not Enough is never as wild or raw as 2001’s seminal Jane Doe, and the polish sometimes strips the riffs of their bite, but tracks like “We Were Never the Same” are certainly loud enough to help make up for it.
