For the Fallen Dreams recently released their fifth studio album, entitled Heavy Hearts. This metalcore/hardcore band hails from Michigan, and are currently signed to Rise Records. This is my first album from For the Fallen Dreams, and I entered this release with much skepticism. Many metal fans regard them as generic, boring, and “risecore”- pretty much heavy chugging and repetitive breakdowns. After I gave this album a try, I surprisingly enjoyed this album. Although saturated with, like I said, mediocre riffs and one vocal style, Heavy Hearts has a certain catchiness to it that somehow makes up for the lack of creativity.
