Music
Although the music of Funeral for a Friend is imbued with heavy metal and hardcore elements the band are easily catogorised into the modern definition of emo. However, many genre fanaticists would argue that Funeral for a Friend are not true to the original definition of emo; due to their guitar sound, riffs and structuring having more, in terms of sound at least, in common with heavy metal. Heavy metal is a form of music characterised by aggressive, driving rhythms and highly amplified distorted guitars, generally with grandiose lyrics and virtuosic instrumentation. ...

To promote the new album, the band played a series of very small Welsh shows in 2005 at venues they'd previously played when they were first starting on the road to global success, in towns like Blackwood and Bridgend. These shows will be in stark contrast to the UK version of America's Taste of Chaos tour which they headline later in the year, over bands like Killswitch Engage and The Used. This will be their biggest ever headlining tour, playing venues such as the Cardiff International Arena. This shows that, along with Lostprophets who sold out the venue in 2004, the fertile South Wales hardcore scene has produced bands ready to eclipse the success of other acts such as the Stereophonics.
