In December 2001 the Welsh band January Thirst threw in the
towel but at the same time a new band was born namely Funeral For A Friend.
They signed a deal with Mighty Atom Records and here we have the first musical
result on disc. These guys have found a rather untraditional sound with a
mixture of hardcore screams, emotional heavy rock and even some mighty death /
thrash riffing that can be heard on the opening track "10:45 Amsterdam
Conversations". This is like At The Gates meets Linkin Park which might at
first seem like a weird combination but they actually manage to make it work
rather well at times. The vocals are mostly melancholic clean rock vocals
coupled with hardcore screams. This is actually a very interesting album but
I'm afraid the guys will have some troubles convincing a wider audience since
they are too noisy for fans of modern rock and too soft and trendy for fans of
death / thrash metal. They will however surely appeal to more open-minded
people which is a good thing in my opinion. Enjoyable music, good vocals but a
little uneven and unstructured. Funeral For A Friend is a young band that we
will hopefully hear more from in the future. Stand-out tracks: "10:45
Amsterdam Conversations", "The Art Of American
Football".
