Whether it’s their 2001 landmark recording Jane Doe or their 2021 Bloodmoon: I collaboration with Chelsea Wolfe, they have created some of the most compelling music, lyrics, and visual art of the 21st century. During that time, fewer bands have had a greater impact on the underground imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt seems unlikely that anyone who has been making music for this long would create one of their best works for their eleventh album, in their 35th year as a band. And yet: Love Is Not Enough might be the apotheosis of Converge’s decades-long journey through the punk, hardcore and metal microcosm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat vocalist\/lyricist Jacob Bannon, guitarist\/producer Kurt Ballou, bassist\/vocalist Nate Newton and drummer Ben Koller have created is a strident artistic statement on the turmoil of living that hones their collective strengths to a razor’s edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere isn’t an ounce of fat. Every song moves with a power and purpose that eclipses their human origins, that speaks to the anger, pain, and frustration of the modern age. From the opening fusillade of the title track to the closing hurricane of “We Were Never the Same,” Love Is Not Enough is a sonorous balance of vitality and viciousness that reflects the chaos and uncertainty of the times we live in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove Is Not Enough was recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City in Salem, Massachusetts, with engineering assistance from Zach Weeks. Jacob Bannon did the artwork and design, creating an image for each song and a commanding cover depicting a celestial witness to a world aflame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Is Not Enough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBad Faith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistract And Divide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo Feel Something\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeyond Repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmon Amok\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForce Meets Presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGilded Cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake Me Forget You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Were Never The Same\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Epitaph","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53820608577882,"sku":"281352","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/converge-love-not-enough_1.jpg?v=1774079335","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/converge-love-is-not-enough-cd","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
