AFI Black Sails in the Sunset

AFI Black Sails In The Sunset on LP

Formed in Ukiah, CA circa 1991, hardcore punk band AFI honed its sound during its tenure with Nitro Records, making their label debut with 1996's Very Proud of Ya followed by Answer That and Stay Fashionable (re-release, 1997), and Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes in 1997. Other releases include, the now classic, Black Sails In The Sunset (1999) and The Art Of Drowning (2000).

1999's Black Sails In The Sunset is AFI's fourth full-length and first with guitarist Jade Puget as a permanent member. Davey Havok's lyrical maturation and Puget's eloquent guitar work make for a noticeable departure from earlier efforts but a good one at that. Featuring some of the strongest songwriting of the band's career, the epic 13-song set finds the group carving out their own identity and reaching mainstream audiences for the first time in the process. Includes a guest appearance by the Offspring's Dexter Holland on three tracks.
