Funeral For A Friend have unveiled the first video from their recently announced forthcoming album, ‘Chapter and Verse’.
“The idea for the track came from watching the news reports around and after the financial crisis hit; the anger at the banks and financial institutions that lined their own pockets off the backs of the hard working average individual,” vocalist Matthew Davies-Kreye explains of ‘1%’. “Theft at the highest level, no sense of remorse, even in the wake of exposure. Hand outs, bonuses, pay increases… It’s like someone rubbing egg in the face of the honest, hard working people who struggle, sometimes with two jobs, raising a family and only just being able to make ends meet.”
‘Chapter and Verse’, set for release on the 19th January via Distiller Records, is being heralded as the most musically diverse and hard-hitting Funeral For A Friend album to date.
The band will be headlining a UK run in support of the record.
