AFI returns with 'Silver Bleeds the Black Sun' in October

AFI - the longtime alt-rock band led by Davey Havok - announce their new album Silver Bleeds the Black Sun due October 3 via Run For Cover Records. It marks the 12th album from AFI and will include the lead single “Behind the Clock.” Alongside the new single, AFI share a music video directed by Gilbert Trejo.

Speaking about the “Behind the Clock” video, director Trejo offers, “We wanted the video to feel like you’re seeing something you shouldn’t. In effect you are, because that’s how Davey writes lyrics. He’s expressing himself so openly, that you’re let behind this curtain. It’s a world that most artists don’t cut to, marrow deep.”

Sharing the experience working with Trejo, vocalist Davey Havok shares, “Gilbert’s video has sublimated the essence of ‘Behind the Clock.’ His vision and expertise is inspiring. Working with him was a privilege and utter joy. He is an artist of the purest form.”

This fall, AFI will embark on their headline North American tour with special guests TR/ST to celebrate the release of Silver Bleeds The Black Sun, marks AFI’s first full-scale outing since their 2021 release Bodies. Tickets available HERE.
