Salem, Massachusetts metalcore institution Converge has released its new single “Love Is Not Enough” today, arriving exactly as predicted earlier this week when the band started dropping cryptic hints online. Fans had already been buzzing after a string of teasers built around mysterious visuals and Roman numerals, and now the track is out on all major streaming platforms.
The song also confirms what many suspected. “Love Is Not Enough” is the title track of Converge’s next full length album, which marks their first major release since “The Dusk in Us” in 2017 and the collaborative “Bloodmoon: I” in 2021. Although the band has not revealed all details yet, today’s single makes it clear that a new era is officially underway. The artwork and rollout match what followers have been dissecting for days, so excitement around the coming record continues to grow.
The track fires fast with jagged guitars, tight rhythmic bursts and Jacob Bannon’s trademark howl cutting straight through the noise. The production feels sharp and dirty at the same time, which fits the band’s recent comments about having a large batch of new material ready. The lyrics lean into emotional tension and fractured relationships, and the song’s tight structure hits hard from the first second. As a lead single, it acts more like a jolt than a warm up, and that direct approach makes it feel like a strong opener for whatever comes next.
Earlier teasers hinted that something big would land this week, so the release of “Love Is Not Enough” lands right on schedule. With the band gearing up for their Saddest Day Festival in Boston this December, fans are already wondering if more new songs will surface onstage as the next album cycle comes into focus.
