I dig it. Gives me a nice blend of Burials (Wild) and Davey's side gig, Son of Sam. Jade's shredding is top notch.
New EP, The Missing Man, is out Dec. 7.

Its short for a bunch of things.I didn't know that's what AFI stands for lol
Still listen to Sing the Sorrow.
This new song is alright.
Same. After a few listens, the lyrics are far too simple. But the overall sound gives me good vibes so I'm still in.The instrumentals sound great but it's one of those songs where I was hoping Davey would let go and start screaming. Like, it doesn't match up to the instrumentals. Still, I'm looking forward to more AFI.
Probably because Havok is nazi trash.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Shamelessly bumping because it was a late (my time) Friday night post.
Or no one gives a shit about AFI =[.
Symbolism on stuff his clothing line put out, lyrics especially those from his Xtrmst stuff. It's well documented.
Hahaha, how did I know that XTRMST would be your "source". It's scary that you can just casually call someone a nazi and have absolutely no fucking idea what you're talking about.Symbolism on stuff his clothing line put out, lyrics especially those from his Xtrmst stuff. It's well documented.
So you can explain all the problematic lyrics coupled with the nazi/ white supremacy imigary? Pls.Hahaha, how did I know that XTRMST would be your "source". It's scary that you can just casually call someone a nazi and have absolutely no fucking idea what you're talking about.
"Well documented". Get the fuck out of here.
XTRMST is a straight edge band. The lyrics have nothing to do with nazism. If anything, they condemn the very mentality that gave rise to nazism.So you can explain all the problematic lyrics coupled with the nazi/ white supremacy imigary? Pls.
Can you provide some examples? Sounds like outrage culture bullshit to me.So you can explain all the problematic lyrics coupled with the nazi/ white supremacy imigary? Pls.
I wonder how CM Punk came about using one of their songs. He also referenced himself as straight edge.XTRMST is a straight edge band. The lyrics have nothing to do with nazism. If anything, they condemn the very mentality that gave rise to nazism.
I'm not here to do your research for you, people can make their own minds up, but when you're singing about colour and blood purity and breeds in very violent rhetoric, that's not straight edge my guy. And putting black sun wheels on t shirts along with other similar symbolism, why the fuck wouldn't people associate that with neo-nazism. There's controversial edgy hardcore and then there's this.XTRMST is a straight edge band. The lyrics have nothing to do with nazism.

Perhaps you could provide some examples of this imagery that you're speaking of first? Regardless, using controversial imagery in art does not make someone a nazi or a supporter of everything that imagery evokes. Davey Havok has never spoken a word in support of nazism, fascism, or any kind of hateful rhetoric towards any group of people that a nazi would vilify. He's been openly supportive of gay rights and trans rights and he's certainly had nothing good to say about our current president and the political climate that he has created.
So maybe you could do a little research or critical thinking before casually labeling someone who is clearly not a nazi, a nazi. It's really fucked up that anyone who doesn't know any better can see your post and think that you actually know what you're talking about.
It's meant to be violent, hence "eXTReMiST". It's Davey and Jade's avenue to vent what they feel they can't with AFI.I'm not here to do your research for you, people can make their own minds up, but when you're singing about colour and blood purity and breeds in very violent rhetoric, that's not straight edge my guy.

I guess some people, who didnt do any research, could see this group as some sort of supremacist group.
At first I was surprised to see an AFI thread, but then I see it's my buddy MoonsaultSlayer!!! Hey man!
I'm a hardcore AFI fan. They're my favorite band. I love all their shit, old stuff and new with as much passion as every album before it. But I have to be honest, I wasn't feeling this song. It sounds good, but it just feels too simple. However it gives me hope the EP is going to be a great time. There will be some good music there for sure. There always is.
Also this is AFI we're talking about. Most of their music today takes some time to grow on you. The first impression is almost always, "uh... cool I guess." Then you find yourself banging to it days later. Not saying this song is like that, but that's just how it's been for me and many others lately.
