From Hum of Hurt (2026). Hum of Hurt is the twelfth studio album by the American metalcore band Converge, released on June 5, 2026, via Epitaph Records and Deathwish Inc. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster Deluxe through an Orange OR120, the nearest rig we use for Converge's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
