Funeral for a Friend: Welcome Home Armageddon review

Funeral For A Friend's fifth studio album, released 2/9/2011, is a step forward fromMemory and Humanity, which left nothing for me to remember it by, in its mundane averageness. Welcome Home Armageddon is a carefully developed explosion of breath taking guitar riffs and high energy songs that have sustained my initial excitement from first listening. Once again Ryan Richards, on drums and 'agressive' vocals, still amazes me, keeping the band tight, screaming and playing a little more complex than your average drummer. Without him, this band would be another average rock band from Wales. This album has reignited my appreciation for Funeral, with a variety of songs, all of which are brilliant. 8.
