When I was 17 years old, I walked into my band at the times practice space, and they were trying out a new vocalist behind my back. Their reason was because he looked cooler (had plugs, tattoos, etc).
11 years later, I have AirPods, and they're all no longer playing music.

I can’t stand when some Christians respond to valid criticism with “Well, the Bible told us we would be hated by the world”.

Metalcore is such a weird genre.
Its like most of the successful metalcore bands are trying as hard as they can to get away from metalcore. Which I don't feel like is a normal thing in other genres.
FFAK is not going to be one of those bands.

My biggest priority with new FFAK material is to go back to our roots, and make sure that when we have a breakdown, it’s REALLY heavy. More of that deathcore inspiration in the music/vocals.

- buying food for the entire tour post-show

Our new album isn’t the overall heaviest we have ever done. It’s the most metal we have done, for sure. And there will still be tracks in the vein of “Shattered Glass”, “Stacking Bodies”, and “Tower of Pain”. But I’ve never enjoyed our music more than what I’m hearing right now.

There will not be an album/ep in 2024. But there will be more music. We are definitely working on a new full length, but want to see how fans receive different styles of FFAK, as well as play them live, to see how we like them, before full on committing to a direction.

I think our band does best as a band that writes deathcore leaning metalcore, and does melodic songs out of passion, not hopes of radio play.
That being said, we have more music than we have ever written for a new record and exploring different producers.

One of my new goals is to let musicians know that you absolutely can make a comfortable living playing metalcore.
This stereotype of all musicians being broke and not getting paid for their music is hurting our scene, and preventing others from fully committing to making music.

There will be a restructure in the way FFAK releases new music. More singles/EPs while we take longer amounts of time perfecting albums.
