Abandon Your Friends is the third full-length audio CD from the band, From Autumn to Ashes.
Released on August 30, 2005, it is the second album on the record label, Vagrant Records. The album shows a slight departure from the traditional "From Autumn to Ashes" sound. The CD has an increased focus on drummer/vocalist, Francis Mark. The lyrics on this album also differ from previous releases in that there is a shift towards lighter more hopeful lyrics. However, the album retains traditional "From Autumn To Ashes" style in its contrasting of harsh and loud sounds versus lighter melodies. Contrary to their previous two albums, Melanie Wills of One True Thing is absent on this release.
It has also been said that Josh Eppard of Coheed and Cambria is responsible for naming the song Placentapede. It was said that when at a festival with Coheed, FATA planned to play the song live, and they didnt have a name for it because the album wasn't out yet and the song was still in its early stages. They went to Coheed'ss bus and asked Josh what was the first thing that came to mind, and he responded with "Placentapede".[citations needed]
