Pull the Thorns from Your Heart is the sixth studio album by American post-hardcore band Senses Fail. In March and April 2015, the group supported Bayside on their headlining US tour.[2] It was released on June 30 through Pure Noise Records.[3]

Background

The album was written in a period after vocalist Buddy Nielsen opened up about his personal life; he revealed his struggles with substance abuse and sex addiction, as well as coming out as queer.[4][5]

Neilsen stated that the album is "a culmination of a spiritual journey I've been on since my teens."[6] A music video for "The Importance of the Moment of Death" was released, featuring a video that is a "mythic representation of how innocence can be forcefully taken away from us as children, leaving us with too much too soon and without the proper coping skills."[7]
