Sing the Sorrow 8211 AFI VINYL

Co-produced by Jerry Finn (Rancid, Green Day, Jawbreaker) and Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins), \’Sing the Sorrow\’ retains the Bay Area outfit\’s signature aggression and pathos – forging ever forward into uncharted territory like the virtuoso guitar intro of \’The Leaving Song Pt. 2\’ or the industrial-leaning break and Dead Can Dance-worthy outro of \’Death Of Seasons\’. Meanwhile, from its sublime intro through beautifully subdued verses and infectious choruses, first single \’Girl\’s Not Grey\’ is a standout that both recalls AFI coming into its own on 2000\’s \’The Art Of Drowning\’ and hints at a myriad of future directions. For the purists, \’Dancing Through Sunday\’ and \’Bleed Black\’ come strapped with generous chant-along opportunities and heavy-as-hell, bolt-tight riffs and rhythms. And as with virtually every track on \’Sing The Sorrow\’, these are all imbued with alternately brooding and celebratory lyrical imagery of rebirth, resurrection, apocalypse, all somehow deeply personal – in other words, classic AFI.
