The first album of FIR came off as a banger. It was already obvious that Ronnie likes mixing genres: screamo metal, hardcore, punk combined with a fasttalk reminding Eminem style hiphop. But after all it was rock in all its flavors, and within the band's glam-rock style outfit was meant to be an homage to the big rock bands of the 80's, like Mötley Crüe. It had a very good feedback, selling out 20,000 albums only in the U.S., and years later became a golden album with over 500,000 sellings worldwide. FIR won awards at Kerrang! (Best Single, Best International Newcomer, 2012), and Ronnie won APMA for Best Vocalist too.

Being out of prison, clean and sober for the first time in so many years Ronnie felt a new kind of passion for life. He jumped on the train of social media, got Twitter and Insta accounts and spent too much time with them. He was living his dream life but in the mean time suffering from prison syndroms, social anxiety and difficulties in holding back anger. Rumors spread about him being a murderer and he suddenly had to face people's hatred, mostly on the faceless and nameless social media.
He was still upset on ETF and their new singer, Craig Mabbitt, and often couldn't hold back bitter comments about him, especially when playing the diss song "Tragic Magic" live. A war of words started between them and the fans encouraged and maintained this mutual hatred, and though the two made peace since, they still do that, some even up to the present times.
Within the year of 2012, while FIR was constantly touring and performing, Ronnie Radke, due to his anger issues and unprocessed trauma had certain affairs with police, fans and comrades - issues which led to further rumors, and then let people judge him unfairly even a decade after they happened.
