The visceral explosion of riffs, screams and melody is one that fans of the band already know and love but the constant shifts of gear in rhythm and twists and turns in this track will keep everyone guessing as to what’s round each corner.

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.

The apocalyptic sway in the title track of the album ‘Welcome Home Armageddon’ is explained by vocalist Matt Davies-Kreye  –  “A friend of mine was mentioning how he felt that the best thing for the planet was for the human race to just drop dead and at times I can see and understand his way of thinking but a big part of me has this (probably) misguided faith in humanity to kind of steer the ship in the right direction for a change. So ‘Welcome Home Armageddon’ is the idea of patiently waiting for the end to arrive at your doorstep and give you a nice big hug.”

The band will also hit the road in March / April next year with a string of dates at intimate venues, some of which are in towns they’ve never actually played before. The extensive run of dates has been purposefully plotted to traverse through those venues which both longtime fans and those who have discovered FFAF in recent years will appreciate for their up-close-and-personal feel. Support on these dates will come from fast rising British band Rise To Remain. The tour has now been expanded due to high demand.
