Renacer (Spanish: "to be reborn") is the fifth studio album by American post-hardcore band Senses Fail, released on March 26, 2013.

[1] Renacer is the first album without founding member and guitarist Garrett Zablocki, with Matt Smith (of Strike Anywhere) joining as his replacement.

The album sees the band exploring heavier sounds, such as metalcore, hardcore punk, and sludge metal.

In January 2011, founding guitarist Garrett Zablocki left the group and was replaced by Matt Smith of Strike Anywhere.

[4] In April, vocalist Buddy Nielsen revealed that the group planned to record following their stint on the Warped Tour.

Following the tour's conclusion, Nielsen and Trapp spent time in a mutual friend's studio making demos for future reference.

[9] The band opted to work with Lopez, as opposed to Brian McTernan, who produced the group's preceding three studio albums, as they "needed to change everything up", according to Nielsen.

Eventually, Roach and Smith flew home, leaving Nielsen and Trapp to finish minor parts and supervise the mixing process.

I was searching for a different type of screaming pattern for the song and decided to try to write a line or two in Spanish—just to see if it would spark an idea.

[25] It was a side project that served as a collaboration between Nielsen and the Banner guitarist Jeremy Comitas, who co-wrote with the group for Renacer.

For the first 500 people that pre-ordered tickets, they were given a three-track EP, which consisted of covers: "Mouth for War" by Pantera, "Suffer" by Bad Religion" and "AM/PM" by American Nightmare.

[35] On August 2, a music video was released for "Between the Mountains and the Sea", directed by Markus Lundqvist and filmed in Stockholm, Sweden.

[36] The clip features an elderly couple having difficulty with basic tasks, such as eating breakfast and consuming pills.

Edward Strickson of Alternative Press gave Renacer a 4/5, praising the band's contrast in sound in comparison to their other albums.
