A high-velocity return to post-hardcore form. Sharp, metallic riffs collide with anthemic melodies and a persistent sense of Welsh melancholy.

Welcome Home Armageddon feels like a band rediscovering their pulse. After years of experimenting with more traditional rock structures and polished pop sensibilities, this record sees Funeral for a Friend leaning back into the sharp, jagged edges that defined their early career. It is a record of friction: the friction between thrash-metal-influenced guitar work and the soaring, almost fragile melodicism of Matt Davies-Convey’s vocals. There is a palpable sense of urgency here, as if the band is trying to outrun their own history while simultaneously embracing it.
