Following up from their 2021 collaboration album with Chelsea Wolfe, Bloodmoon: I, Love Is Not Enough showed the band making a stylistic turn to their simpler and heavier roots. Guitarist Kurt Ballou stated, "There are songs on Bloodmoon that I barely played guitar on. Making Love is Not Enough, that goes back to regular Converge, where we are much more comfortable in our roles. The division of labour is well established in the band and it’s back to being focused on our own stuff. But, also, there’s less space to hide. The guitar ideas are mine, and I’m playing them all. There’s a deliberate lack of collaboration on it. Guitar solos are not my thing, but we’re not having guest musicians here. No one’s playing this solo for me, so I gotta fucking do it. So, you know, I did it."[15]
