Their early releases cemented them in the sound, while their later efforts have seen them try to push the boat out a little further, while still remaining safely within the realms of metalcore. You would think then, that after four years, the band would have something new to offer. And, in a sense, they do.<\/figure>\n<p>Where the band\u2019s previous album, <i>\u2018Heavy Hearts\u2019<\/i>, dealt exclusively in the generic tropes of metalcore, <i>&#8216;Six\u2019<\/i> sees the band branch out a little and experiment with their sound. Opening two tracks <i>&#8216;Stone\u2019<\/i> and <i>&#8216;The Undertow\u2019<\/i> feature less unclean vocals while bringing in synth backdrops, but build up to breakdowns that hit with the familiar <b>For the Fallen Dreams<\/b> brutality.<\/p>\n<p><!-- more --><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8216;Unstoppable\u2019<\/i> shows a slightly softer side to the band, before the final third takes over and returns to the generic metalcore sound. It\u2019s a formula the band stick to across all ten tracks on <i>&#8216;Six\u2019<\/i>, with varying degrees of heaviness. <i>&#8216;Ten Years<\/i> is perhaps the most ferocious, hitting with the intensity of hardcore acts like The Ghost Inside.<\/p>\n<p>Lyrically, <b>For the Fallen Dreams<\/b> offer up the same \u201cyou can do it\u201d message that\u2019s been pushed by hundreds of metalcore acts in the last ten years. While it\u2019s a good message to push, the band rarely step off the beaten path, making for collection of songs that ultimately talk about nothing.<\/p>\n<p><b>For the Fallen Dreams<\/b> have managed to push their boundaries and progress, creating an album that, for the first few listens at least is a stunning.
