AFI - Silver Bleeds the Black Sun… (October 3, 2025) • Page 4

Really loving it. Didn't know he could sing so low!

 

The press release has me intrigued.

 

This is so different yet still so AFI somehow. Definitely the most intrigued I've been by a single since I Hope You Suffer.

I'm 100% in for a unashamedly 80s post-punk, goth record.

Also have to revisit Bodies because nothing from that album hit me like this

 

I'm more shocked by Dave's pornstache than anything lol

 

I hope his current beard shows up in an upcoming music video but pornstache Davey is shaping up to be one more iconic look in a career full of them lol

 

Nah I fuck with this. Johnny Marr is my biggest inspiration as a guitarist and this is giving me massive Smiths vibes

 

The press release makes me believe this is going to be their best since Burials.

 

Very "goth" to channel their inner Type O Negative.

 

Can't say I'm too stoked with this as the first release since Bodies Pretty disappointing.

 

Hell yes. I love it. Definitley what I want from them.

The Crow soundtrack post was spot on. It’s got “Burn” by The Cure vibes.

There’s also some Bowie going on in there.

 

Not super into this unfortunately

 

this is cool, it's a little repetitive but it's a really enticing vibe and it's neat hearing them tackle this sound, particularly refreshing after the last two records

the guitars sound ripped from achtung baby and i mean that in a good way. honestly a lot of the instrumental works for me because it reminds me of U2

 

Do we know who the producer is on this? Doesn't sound like Jade this time.

 

It's kinda reminded me of Kasabian

 

It is. Says it right in the press release Crisp X posted.

 

Oh wow, I read right past that. Cheers.

 

Ya know… If the whole album is something in this vein, I’ll take it. I’m definitely more intrigued after reading that press release.

 

I do not listen to Bowie, or the Cure, Bauhaus or acts like that. (I do fw some Type O Negative in certain moods). So we'll see how this album works for me. Song is fine. Maybe it will click in context.

 

I love it so much! I'm glad they strive for constant reinvention, because if I'm honest I don't want to hear artists approaching/in their 50s trying to recreate something they did in their 20s.

 

its a no from me dog

 

i mostly stick to pre-decemberunderground AFI but I kind of like this one

 

I fuck with this. First thing I have fucked with by them since at least Bodies.

 

So since their last album?

 

I like it! Hunter's bass in the beginning is so good. I am glad they are continuing with the post punk of their last couple of releases.

 

Not enough moustache
