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.

For the Fallen Dreams obviously has talent at hand, but I feel that they can do so much better if they experiment more and don’t stick with one specific formula. Almost every single track on this album starts with a breakdown and is saturated with multiple breakdowns. The vocalist, Chad Ruhlig, does a decent job on most songs, able to keep pace and intensity with the fast drums. There is a meager amount of clean singing on a couple tracks, but Chad mainly utilizes the vocal fry technique. I’m fairly glad that the choruses on all songs are done using uncleans, as the problem with many of the generic metalcore outfits today is that they try to utilize soft, whiney, clean singing that completely change the mood and atmosphere(aka We Came As Romans.)  FTFD tries to add a melodic atmosphere to the music by playing some less-distorted notes and riffs with the lead guitar, but most of the time, they don’t have enough impact to really change the tone of the song. This is where I feel like FTFD has truly underachieved themselves, as they could have done so much more with the lead guitar. They could have added solos or tremolo pickings instead of a fourth breakdown. The drumming is great and the vocals are decent, but the band falls short in the guitar department. With that said, certain tracks definitely became more interesting with the addition of melodic guitars. Bombay and Mimic and two songs that come to mind where I feel like an atmosphere is actually created. Alongside these two songs, other standout tracks on the album include Emerald Blue, Light, and Endless. Endless is by far the best song on this album. It is the only track without breakdowns, and it flows incredibly well. Unfortunately, tracks that don’t stand out are rather forgettable. The vibe feels generic and lackluster, and they are what one would call “filler” tracks. Overall, this album could have been much better if the band tried to break its conventional status and innovated more.

The lyrical content varies from song to song, as it’s obvious that the band puts more thought into certain lyrics than others. Heavy Hearts does have multiple glorious moments but is sadly dumbed down by adhering too much to the formula. Although this won’t make LegionCore’s top 10 albums of the year, I still recommend you to at least audition it once, and justify for yourself whether this band has talent or not. However, if you are into metalcore bands such as Memphis May Fire and A Ghost Inside, you won’t be disappointed by Heavy Hearts. As always, thanks for checking out LegionCore, and please stay tuned for a review on Our Endless War by Whitechapel.
