AFI: The Art Of Drowning (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

Repressed on limited edition grey vinyl! Originally released in 2000, The Art Of Drowning found AFI building upon the fusion hardcore/punk sound the established on the previous All Hallow's EP, while adding a bit of goth darkness to the mix. This album also ventures into a few slower tempo tracks near the end and experiments with electronics for the first time in the band's career (check the intro to "Despair Factor"). Also worth noting that this was the last self-produced album from the A Fire Inside. 16 tracks in all.
