Renacer is the fifth studio album by American post-hardcore band Senses Fail released on March 26, 2013. It is the first album without founding member and guitarist Garrett Zablocki. Jason Black, the band's bassist did not participate in the writing/recording of the album due to obligations with Hot Water Music, Zack Roach instead performed bass on the album. It is also the last album to feature long time drummer, Dan Trapp, as he parted ways with the band in late 2014.
According to the band's bio-page on Staple Records, the album title "Renacer" means "to be reborn" in Spanish. This serves as the main theme of the album as Buddy wanted to take a heavier and more adventurous creative direction.
About the sound of the new album, Buddy stated:
On the band choosing to work with Shaun Lopez instead of Brian McTernan (who produced the band's last three full-lengths) Buddy said:
The single, "Mi Amor", was released on February 4, 2013.
The album received positive reception. Edward Strickson of Alternative Press gave Renacer a 4/5, praising the band's contrast in sound in comparison to their other albums.
