Welcome Home Armageddon - Stylish Home Decor for Apocalypse & Dystopian Fans | Perfect for Themed Parties, Movie Nights & Unique Gifts

Produced by previous collaborator Romesh Dodangoda, the band 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. The result of this approach will no doubt send shivers down the spine of many a FFAF fan. 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 . The heavier vocals take an integral role on several of the tracks. Drummer / vocalist Ryan Richards commented on his contribution to Front Row Seats To The End of The World It was a lot of fun for me to do a lead vocal again on a track, as it's probably something I've not done since way back on the first record. 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.
