AFI continues to reveal information about their upcoming full length, most recently in an interview with MTV.
The successful band is promising that some material is: "really aggressive and have -- dare I say -- pretty heavy hardcore leanings," Ã la 1997's Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes. "There are just a few -- by no means is the record weighted in that direction. But there are definitely some hardcore moments on there."
Conversely however, "there are some songs that are more heavily loop-based. We tinkered with different time signatures, and even different rhythms we haven't worked with. There are moments within some of these tracks that sound like nothing we've really touched as a band, artistically, before."
In addition, the group has added backing vocals from Tiger Army's Nick 13, Dan Smith from Day of Contempt, Bleeding Through's Brandon Schieppati, Eighteen Visions' Keith Barney, and Ronan Harris from VNV Nation, among others.
The band continues to work on their upcoming full length follow up to Sing the Sorrow which is expected late spring.
