Tales don't tell themselves, but Matt Davies, lead singer of the Welsh band Funeral for a Friend, will tell them to you. On the band's third proper album stateside, his tales materialize as songs which he describes as "dramatic" and "intense" with a "sense of urgency". Produced by Gil Norton, the lead single "Into Oblivion (Reunion)" showcases soaring guitars, thoughtful lyrics and even a string section and is set to propel the band further into the American mainstream.
