More Info:
Tales don't tell themselves, but Matt Davies, lead singer of the Welsh band Funeral for a Friend, will tell them to you. On the band's third proper album stateside, his tales materialize as songs which he describes as "dramatic" and "intense" with a "sense of urgency". Produced by Gil Norton, the lead single "Into Oblivion (Reunion)" showcases soaring guitars, thoughtful lyrics and even a string section and is set to propel the band further into the American mainstream.Reviews:
Screamo concept album alert! Somewhere between the Decemberists' Crane Wife and Mastodon's Leviathan lies this tale of a fisherman lost at sea, his life flashing before his eyes as he attempts to reach dry land and his wife and daughter, all set to the sweet sounds of Welsh post-hardcore. FFAF have been comparing parts of Tales to prog giants like Genesis and Rush, but smart money says the Warped Tour-friendly good cop/bad cop vocals haven't gone anywhere.
