Funeral for a Friend - Conduit

Conduit is the sixth studio album by Welsh post-hardcore band Funeral for a Friend. While it still bears resemblance to the bands earlier material, it contains more of a Hardcore punk influence, containing influences of bands such as Snapcase, Strife, and Boysetsfire, all bands that have influenced vocalist Matt Davies. The album features a combination of metalcore guitar riffs and "emotionally charged hooks". Matthew Davies has summarised the record neatly by saying “it's a post-hardcore record that is not afraid to drop into some hardcore for good measure.” Saying elements of it are "extremely direct and gritty". The music featured on the album is believed to capture the energy of a younger band. The band's new drummer Pat Lundy has summerised the style on the record as "lot heavier and a lot more current" describing Davies' vocals as "exploring more than ever now" Lyrical themes on the album range through several topics, "from the passage of time to the power of advertising to friends dying" CD, Album
