AFI - Silver Bleeds the Black Sun… (October 3, 2025) • Page 24

Philly was the better crowd vibe. Opened with strength through wounding which obviously rules. Other philly highlights were Malleus, paper airplanes, greetings and goodbyes, and one of my personal favorites, the underrated Face Beneath the Waves from Burials.

Tonight in Brooklyn was nuts, totally packed - and out of nowhere, they open with Miseria Cantare. Incredible. Brooklyn got two more in my pantheon, Lost Souls and Veronica Sawyer. Then they brought it all the way back with File 13, which I don't think I've seen since 03.

I've been in a pretty shitty headspace lately and was considering skipping an AFI headline tour for the first time since I was 15. So glad I manned up. My gas tank feels fill. No other band can capture that in me. AFI forever

 

face beneath the waves goddamn, unreal song

 

I love this record. It’s true that, being AFI, I kind of miss a bit of energy or rawness, but I guess I’ve got 11 or 12 other AFI albums where I can find that. I’m glad they stepped out of their comfort zone and the album being so well received.

 

They were awesome last night, glad it was packed.

 

I really like the bside
