AFI – The Art Of Drowning (CD) Used

AFI – The Art Of Drowning – CD

Released in 2000, The Art Of Drowning is AFI’s fifth studio album and one of the defining records from their Nitro Records era. The album builds on the dark atmosphere of Black Sails in the Sunset, combining fast melodic hardcore and punk with gothic imagery, dramatic songwriting, and the increasingly melodic direction that would eventually lead into Sing the Sorrow.

Featuring fan favorites like “The Days Of The Phoenix,” “The Lost Souls,” “The Nephilim,” and “The Despair Factor,” the album captures the classic lineup of Davey Havok, Jade Puget, Hunter Burgan, and Adam Carson. The CD also contains the hidden track “Battled” following “Morningstar.”
