AFI – California’s Goth Vets Have ‘HOLY VISIONS’

Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

10 September 2025

Band: AFI (abbreviation for A Fire Inside)
Who: Weathered high-volume veteran goth rockers
from Ukiah, California who started to turn up the
darkwave decibels in 1991.

Track: HOLY VISIONS
2nd single from their forthcoming 12th LP,
entitled Silver Bleeds The Black Sun… .

Press info: “For more than three decades, AFI has been a band in a constant state
of reinvention. No album they’ve released has sounded much like the one before it, sometimes dramatically so. The band has never gotten too comfortable in one genre
or allowed themselves to coast on any successes.

It’s an approach that has regularly challenged their audience, as their sonic identity has shifted in wild, unexpected directions every few years. But on their twelfth album, Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…, the members of AFI managed to surprise even themselves.”

About the single: “Holy Visions” has a whole lot of snaky bass and guitar action, and it’s got Davey Havok chant-wailing about praying the Rosary while being struck by mysterious images of a glowing girl burning brightly, calling him home.

Wake up, people
AFI take you back
to the goth 80s.
Have a nice trip.
