For The Fallen Dreams - Changes
One of the new signings to Rise Records, For The Fallen Dreams offer a
breath of fresh air to the hardcore scene. With the melodic side of hardcore
in vein of Misery Signals and the vocal ferocity of (Mat Bruso era) Bury
Your Dead, For The Fallen Dreams have crafted a solid album. The albums
starts off with a slower track - Brothers in Arms, but then picks up the
brutality in New Beginnings. For hardcore, this album creates some pretty
catchy riffs and well written lyrics. Tracks that really set this record for
me are tracks like Hopeless with its monster breakdowns and gang chants and
Vengeance, the heaviest track on the album. At times the comparisons to both
Misery Signals and Bury Your Dead really stand out, but are easy to overlook
and enjoy this album for what it is. Overall this is a solid record that
should see quite a few plays from me. It’s one of the more enjoyable
hardcore albums I’ve heard recently.
