AFI - Silver Bleeds The Black Sun...

Facts For more than three decades, AFI has been in an almost constant state of reinvention. The band has strived to evolve with every album, sometimes dramatically, without letting themselves become too comfortable within a genre. Their twelfth album, Silver Bleeds the Black Sun, finds AFI once again at the start of a new bold chapter, this time they have even managed to surprise themselves. It began with something that sounded like Echo & the Bunnymen, explains guitarist Jade Puget, who produced the album. Eventually it became a blend of deathrock and late-'70s and early-'80s postpunk, such as Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Silver Bleeds the Black Sun is dark and otherworldly, but also grand and stately, biting and beautiful in equal measure. It is very AFI, but not quite like any version
