The Blood Tour
AFI
The Chain Gang of 1974
Souvenirs
AFI (The Blood Album) is the band’s 10th full-length studio album, first for Concord Records, and first to be produced by guitarist Jade Puget, and co-produced by Matt Hyde (Deftones). The creative process saw the band crafting a plethora of material—60 songs according to vocalist Davey Havok.
AFI (The Blood Album) is the follow-up to 2013’s Burials, which hit Top 10 on The Billboard 200. Since the release of 1995’s debut album Answer That and Stay Fashionable, AFI has written and recorded five top ten hit singles, hit No. 1 on The Billboard 200 (with the stunning Decemberunderground), garnered worldwide critical acclaim and amassed a fiercely loyal global following whose members number in the millions.

When Ukiah quartet AFI first hit the scene in 1991, the name meant “Asking For It.” Back then, singer Davey Havok had bleached blonde hair, and the songs were angst-ridden punk tunes about mohawks and breakfast cereal. But by 1996, the name had changed to mean “A Fire Inside,” Havok had traded his goldilocks for a devil-lock and the music had morphed to Misfits-inspired hardcore. Today, AFI is more polished goth rock than heavy punk, but the raw energy and undeniable musical talent that have made them the kings of East Bay hardcore is as much in evidence as ever.
