Once again, two years later Senses Fail would release their fourth album in 2010 called The Fire. For the first time in their career the band would take three years to release a new album in 2013 entiuted Renacer. Continuing on with there releases Senses Fail released their sixth album in 2015 called Pull the Thorns from Your Heart. The band’s most recent album as of this writing was issued in 2018 called If There Is Light, It Will Find You.
