Alt-rock heroes AFI have announced that they’ll be releasing their new LP, Silver Bleeds the Black Sun..., on October 3 via their new label home of Run for Cover Records. The group’s twelfth LP is led by the gothic, sludgy rock opera “Behind the Clock,” which arrives with a visceral music video directed by Gilbert Trejo. “Gilbert’s video has sublimated the essence of ‘Behind the Clock,’” shared AFI vocalist Davey Havok. “His vision and expertise is inspiring. Working with him was a privilege and utter joy. He is an artist of the purest form.”
Added Trejo: “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.”
