Idle Hands (Pre-Production Sample)
Just a little sample of one of our songs from up and coming "Sky and the Fall" EP. NOT the final instrumental mix and the vocal mix is far from complete, but thought we should give you guys something since you've been so patient waiting for this EP!
Axe-FX Tone Test 4
Yet another tone test using the Axe-FX Ultra, this time using an Orange cabinet IR courtesy of our sponsor ReCabinet ... enjoy!
"Secret Squirrel" Axe-Fx Tone Test 3-With Vocals!
Another tone test using the 8-string, but our vocalist Chris Barretto decided to add vocals! UBER heavy ... like Acacia Strain meets Meshuggah. Not a FFaF song and not full mixed, but it's all in good fun! Enjoy!

Washington DC's Friend For A Foe (FFaF) began as a one-man band, gaining attention since 2004. After a lengthy nationwide search, FFaF is now established as a full-fledged band consisting of talented musicians who are making big strides in the underground metal music scene and taking the nation by storm.
FFaF's band members share the common thread of capturing the trials and tribulations of everyday life in their writing and instrumentation and do so with absolute perfection. Featuring top-notch production, heavy, bone-jarring riffs with 7 and 8-string guitars, precision drumming, dissonant yet beautiful melodic intricacies, and haunting lyrics by their unconventional vocal duo, FFaF will continue to push the boundaries of metal music and make a name for themselves in the US and abroad.
Beauty coalesced with brutality. This is what metal is all about ... So abrasive you'll need to catch your breath.Band/artist history
Friend For A Foe has been a labor of love for quite some time and is now a fully-fledged band featuring members of ridiculous talent.
All songs are self-produced and self-made. Hope you enjoy!Have you performed in front of an audience?Shows are coming soon! There's nothing like creating a mosh pit with your music in front of a couple of hundred (or thousand) people...good times!
