Packed from front to back with explosive, high-energy riffs, thundering rhythms and singer Buddy Nielsen's introspective, unflinchingly honest lyrics, The Fire is yet another milestone for a band with a truly impressive discography of post-hardcore scene staples.

Although the group once again chose to head to Baltimore, Maryland, to team up with longtime collaborator/producer Brian McTernan (Thrice, Circa Survive, Cave In) at his famous Salad Days studio, there's a perceptible intensity to The Fire that sets it apart from Senses Fail's past works.
