back in 2008 for the fallen dreams was one of my myspace finds. i bought the 'changes' cd and boy, i loved it. what am i saying? i still love this. such a good modern melodic hardcore record. absolutely on top of its game. the cd is selling for crazy money nowadays. unfortunately there never had been a vinyl release. after that superb record they changed the vocalist and the second album was full of bad clean singing. mehh, not my taste.
after two more bad records with the new singer and even more member changes - i doubt that there are any original members left - they are back with 'heavy hearts'. unnoticed by me. i couldn't have cared less. but then christmas time came around and my girlfriend and me were visiting families. in between christmas and new year we were burning some santa money and i came upon this album. i listened to some song excerpts and was wondering if the original singer was back. it sounded very much like him.
back home i downloaded the album and was surprised to find that my assumption was right. chad ruhling is back on track with for the fallen dreams. the stuff 'heavy hearts' has to offer is very much in the vein of 'changes'. not just as good but the misery signals feeling is back, again with their very own touch. i snaged a copy some days later in hamburg. you can stream the whole baby here. white vinyl out of 600 copies. comes with a cd of the album. rise records. 2014.
