AFI will release their new album, 'Burials', on October 22. The record is the follow-up to 2009's 'Crash Love'.
The band have been teasing the release for some time with a series of cryptic online videos, and unveiled the album's lead-off track, I Hope You Suffer, last week.
Davey Havok, the band's frontman, has revealed that the record is particularly dark and also a stylistic departure from 'Crash Love'. He told Rolling Stone:
"This album is very layered and very rich and far, far less straightforward than what we did on the last record, which – much like every record we create – was the result of a natural growth, a natural indication of where we are as songwriters now. This record has no chance of being anything else other than what it came to be. It was inside us in a way. I know that sounds a bit dramatic. But it's true: When Jade and I began writing – two years ago, I believe – we were immediately quite prolific. The songs just came out, and they came out in relatively similar forms to the songs that people will hear on the record."
