The album was an instant success, debuting at number one on the Billboard charts and launching a summer-long tour, followed by a string of overseas performances in October. While on tour, Havok and Puget dedicated their spare time to a side project that would eventually become Blaqk Audio , which they debuted in early AFI released the concert album I Heard a Voice: Live from Long Beach Arena later that same year, but the bandmates continued pursuing their own projects, with Hunter Burgan playing bass for several other bands while Jade Puget did remix work for the likes of the Cure.
AFI properly reconvened in to begin writing new material; by November, they had announced their intention record with producer David Bottrill. Two months later, they traded Bottrill for a pair of new producers -- Joe McGrath and Jacknife Lee -- and continued working on the album, focusing on songs that were harder than those found on Decemberunderground.
The result, Crash Love , was their most straight-ahead rock record to date. The album was released in September and proved to be another success, though it did not chart as highly or sell as well as the previous two albums. AFI toured extensively throughout to promote the release before going quiet for a couple of years. In they announced they would be returning with a new album, Burials , in October.
Produced by Gil Norton , the album was preceded by a number of singles including the thrilling, melodic pop-punk anthem "17 Crimes. Rising to number five on the Billboard , it included the singles "Snow Cats" and "White Offerings. Issued that December and produced by Puget , the five-track release included the single "Get Dark. The band returned in early with the singles "Twisted Tongues" and "Escape from Los Angeles," both of which landed on their 11th album, Bodies.
Released that June, the set continued their late-era maturation with a combination of synth-friendly sheen and nostalgic punk energy, heard on additional tracks such as "Looking Tragic" and "Dulceria," which was co-written with tourmate Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins.

It reached as far as Australia, where it grasped Gold certification, and also achieved this in the United States, where it has sold in excess of , copies.
AFI's eighth studio album is titled Crash Love and was released on September 29, , peaking at 12 on the Billboard , selling 52, copies in its first week of release.
The album's lead single is " Medicate ". Stopholese suggested his friend Adam Carson , who had a drum kit join the band. AFI disbanded when its members attended different colleges, including UC Berkeley where members of the band lived and practiced for a time in the basement of the Delta Chi fraternity house on Channing Way.
Kresge moved to New York where he played with Blanks After reuniting to perform a live show, the other members decided to drop out of college to play full-time with AFI. After several tours in support of the album Very Proud of Ya, Kresge decided to leave the group. The band then recorded Black Sails in the Sunset , a musical turning point which introduced AFI fans to a much darker sound, [7] mixing the band's original hardcore roots with dark romantic influences a poem by Charles Baudelaire , "De profundis clamavi," is present in the hidden track "Midnight Sun" and an emphasis on a more somber atmosphere and lyrics.
The influence of the Deathrock and Goth rock scenes was also apparent. During this period their style was mostly referred to as horror punk or "gothic punk. It received a fair amount of radio play and exposed AFI to larger audiences. Offspring frontman Dexter Holland was featured as a backing vocalist on a number of Black Sails tracks. II ", and " Silver and Cold " had some Billboard chart success and exposed the band to even larger audiences.
Although the band performed "Love Like Winter" according to plan, technical difficulties occurred during their set of "Miss Murder," in which Davey's microphone went out during various parts of the song.
If one looks to Preludians , it states as follows: "And the homely beggar knelt down, offering the blood of his daughter in return for his eternal life. And He cast down a red light, one of which had never been seen before by the prophets, and He said, 'Thou hast not paid they immortal dues as thou must. For this offense, thou shoust be smighted! Kill Caustic It's killing. Is any more really necessary? They kill. People get killed. The end. And yet, nobody is completely sure who Miss Murder is.
Some people have come up with the theories that it is the girlfriend of one of the members, but this is very unlikely, seeing as Davey Havok is a transvestite , Jade Puget has only one love his guitar , Adam Carson is gay and Hunter is definitely not a human being. So who is Miss Murder? The most famous of these philosophers is Oscar Wilde , the founder of Uncyclopedia , a website devoted to present explanations of common people and things and current news events, all of which are fictional.
Others think it may be a victim, most likely their first victim. This likely possibility is supported by the fact that the first victim of each person in their own respects was female.
It is possible that they believe these women, nicknamed "Miss Murders" may be haunting them, or even convincing them to murder more.
Then again, it may have just been a title chosen to create controversy over the song, increasing its popularity, although it is doubtful that their combined IQs would have placed them at an intelligence level as high as this. Sadly, the interview ended with Arson and Puget in the hospital with bad burns and fractures, and one deceased interviewer. The Killing Lights The other song that suggest that they may be vampires.
This implies that they could be killed by light, although it is very doubtful. Not even vampires can be killed by light, just weakened. What does she say? Who does she say it to? In what language does she say it? Nobody knows for sure. Most of these are unimportant because at the point of recording, the 'band' had not lost sight of its goal: to kill.
