Jason Le Miere — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:13:18 +0000

The second Monster Energy Outbreak Tour kick starts this week, with the first show in San Francisco. The tour features headliners Of Mice & Men, supported at all shows by Iwrestledabearonce, I See Stars, and That’s Outrageous! In addition, Abandon All Ships and For the Fallen Dreams will perform at half the dates each.

Upon the announcement of the tour, Of Mice & Men vocalist Austin Carlisle and drummer Valentino Arteaga, collectively shared their anticipation:

“We’re very happy to announce Of Mice & Men headlining the Monster Energy Outbreak tour! We couldn’t be more excited to team up with such a phenomenal company and lineup of bands as well! We think this tour will be much more of an experience rather than just coming out to another show, so do not miss this tour!”

Of Mice & Men will also be providing an exclusive insight into all the action on the tour, both onstage and offstage, with their tour diary. Check back to Revolvermag.com during the run for regular postings from the headliners.

Review: For the Fallen Dreams – Back Burner

David McKenna — Wed, 25 May 2011 13:00:24 +0000

Michigan trio For the Fallen Dreams’ third full-length album, Back Burner, doesn’t exactly bring anything new to the table in terms of the now well-worn metalcore formula. But the band does manage to create material that will, at times, engage even the most jaded heavy-music listener. Tracks like “Complicate the Situation” and “The Human Collective” blend original riffs and catchy choruses with blistering breakdowns, and they throb with genuine passion and energy. Even the somewhat cliché soft track “Bottom Feeders” sounds great, and is well-placed in the middle of the album, where it provides a replenishing respite from the overall assault. Nevertheless, the band’s consistent use of clean-sung choruses comes across as uninspired and forced, and it only serves to break up their better heavy verses. The group also relies too much on by-the-numbers breakdowns throughout the album. Back Burner is hardly the year’s most memorable record, but it will please fans and should surprise listeners who think that nothing good can come from metalcore these days. DAVID McKENNA

For the Fallen Dreams vocalist Dylan Richter Lists His Most Terrifying Nightmares

Brandon Geist — Mon, 23 May 2011 13:00:23 +0000

The music of Utica, New York, melodic hardcore band For the Fallen Dreams can be pretty hair-raising—as they’ve demonstrated again on their third album, Backbreaker (Rise), which hits stores tomorrow—but not nearly as frightening as frontman Dylan Richter’s warped nocturnal visions. In between presumably sleepless nights, he shared the following bad dreams with us.

If I don’t wake up
“Whenever I remember my dreams, they’re always fucked up. Most of them are very weird and consist of me not knowing who I am anymore or being in a place I can’t define. I always used to have this dream where I would wake up and think I was awake, but I would still be very much asleep.”

Drowningman
“Sometimes I dream that I am in a room with no doors or windows and it fills up with water all the way to the top with no way out.”

Nameless, faceless
“Sometimes I dream I’m in a creepy town and someone is following me, but I could never see their face.”

Hey man, nice shot
“Just the other night, I dreamt I got shot in the face and lived, but my features were totally destroyed and I couldn’t do anything about it. My friends and family didn’t even know who I was.”
