AFI announced their twelfth album, Silver Bleeds the Black Sun..., set for release on October 3. The lead single, 'Behind the Clock,' highlights the band’s shift towards '80s goth influences while reducing their punk edge. The intent behind this new album is to create a cohesive, dreamy atmosphere. Accompanying the single is a video directed by Gilbert Trejo, who aimed to showcase an intimate glimpse into the lyrics. Vocalist Davey Havok praised Trejo's artistry, expressing admiration for the creative collaboration.
The goal of Silver Bleeds the Black Sun... was to make an album with a singular mood, something dreamy and ethereal, and the band members found themselves diving headfirst into influences that had always been deeply embedded in AFI's musical core, but now were being brought to the forefront.
Gilbert's video has sublimated the essence of 'Behind the Clock.' His vision and expertise is inspiring. Working with him was a privilege and utter joy.
