FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND Welcome Home Armageddon (2011 UK 12-track CD album - Returning with their fifth studio album, Funeral For A Friend homed in on the essence of their new material in a way which would present the new tracks as being as true to their live show as possible. Produced by previous collaborator Romesh Dodangoda, 'Welcome Home Armageddon' Embracing the heady mix of raw heaviness and pure melody which helped establish the band's name when they were starting out, Matt describes the album as 'a fist in the face followed by a kiss on the cheek'. From the fast, punky feeling of 'Old Hymns', through the seven-string guitar led riff spectacular 'Aftertaste' and the even more riff-heavy 'Spinning', FFAF have crafted an album of potential classics with each track as exciting and unpredictable as the one before it. Anthemic songs with killer melodies such as album closer 'Welcome Home Armageddon' and 'Sixteen', which actually started life as an acoustic number, are further demonstrations of the band's songwriting prowess and their ability to incorporate a multitude of different musical elements)
