Funeral For A Friend - Best Friends and Hospital Beds Video

Welsh rockers Funeral For A Friend have released the video to their latest single 'Best Friends and Hospital Beds' online ahead of its release on November 12th 2012 with their upcoming album 'Conduit' to be released January 28th 2013.

The video features a series of blurred images almost like random snippets of memory. We then see one member of the band lying on the ground having apparently been unconscious. On his person is a note informing him that he is a test subject who has been injected with a terminal illness and the only way he can treat it is to travel 10 miles to the nearest medical testing base. Unfortunately, tragedy ensues when he fails this apparent 'test of endurance'. The song represents themes of friendship and life-ending illnesses (hence the title) with a driving guitar melody, up tempo drum beats and raging vocals that give the song a strong screamo feel.

The single release will follow their UK date on their Vans Warped Tour which will take place at London's Alexandra Palace on November 10th and has easily sold-out. Don't worry though because they are set to tour again in 2013 from January 23rd to February 19th during the release of 'Conduit'.
