Release and promotion
editOn their 2014 tour, Funeral for a Friend incorporated the song "1%" into their set list. The band then debuted the first single from the album, "You've Got a Bad Case of the Religions", on the Rock Show on BBC Radio 1 on 28 September 2014. They announced the title of the album, as well as its release date and a 2015 tour in support of the album the next day.[1]
Chapter and Verse would become the band's final album during their initial run as a band, as they confirmed on 14 September 2015 that they would be breaking up following a final tour in 2016.[2][3] However, following a string of reunion shows between 2019 and 2023, it was announced that the band would be writing new music, albeit without vocalist Matthew Davies-Kreye who decided to part ways with the band.
