Conduit is the sixth studio album by Welsh post-hardcore band Funeral for a Friend.
[9] The album features a combination of metalcore guitar riffs, metallic breakdowns, gang vocals, 'emotionally charged hooks'[6][10] and melodic choruses.
[14] Lyrical themes on the album range through several topics, "from the passage of time to the power of advertising to friends dying".
[14] 'Best Friends and Hospital Beds' lyrically focuses on death and the "futility of life".
[1] For the album art the band recruited Wales-based artist Snowskull, who was revealed to be Matthew Evans, who was a founding vocalist in Funeral for a Friend.
[21] Those who bought a ticket for the tour also received a coupon for a reduced pricing of the album.
Two days after its release in the United Kingdom, Conduit appeared on the UK Albums Chart at 16[24] and ended the week at 34.
[8] Ross Watson of the Scottish publication The Skinny praised the album's "short, lean entirely engaging" punk approach.
