CONVERGE's JACOB BANNON On Decision To Release Two Full-Length Albums In 2026: 'Why Not? Life's Short'
Asked if "Hum Of Hurt" and "Love Is Not Enough" are "companions of each other or just entirely separate statements", Jacob said: "They're statements on their own. They're companion pieces to one another just as much as our entire catalog is a companion piece to each other, effort that we've put in, in a recorded effort. So they're all related. They're all personal stories. They're all personal reflections of our lives. With that said, that's no different than anything else that we've ever done. They just happen to be four months apart."
"Hum Of Hurt" is distinct from "Love Is Not Enough", but just as volatile and potent.
"It's not a sequel," Bannon explained when "Hum Of Hurt" was first announced in April. "The unifying musical idea early on was, 'Let's make a noise rock album.' But we never really did. The first one wasn't. This one touches on that spirit, but it's much more dynamic than that descriptor. To me, it leans more into being an emotional hardcore album, while 'Love Is Not Enough' feels more metal leaning album. In the end, we simply gave creative birth to another CONVERGE record with its own unique identity and character."
"Hum Of Hurt" was recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou at GodCity in Salem, Massachusetts, with engineering assistance from Zach Weeks. Bannon and renowned U.K. artist Thomas Hooper collaborated on the album artwork.
Jacob said: "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.' Specifically the heart skips beats before dissolving into static. The signal is then interrupted by a seismic event at the center point of the cover. In conversation, I shared some of these ideas with artist Thomas Hooper, who offered to illustrate them using scientific diagrams as a source of inspiration. I then spent months creating a mixed media piece for the interior. The figures represent the five elements of our planet, or 'Pancha Bhuta': Prithvi (Earth),Ap (Water),Agni (Fire),Vayu (Air),and Akasha (Aether). I present them in the throws of chaos, as if the elements themselves are entangled in the Hum Of Hurt."
