us with an AFI update from their message board that was posted by drummer Adam Carson. The band has finished preproduction work on the new album and will head into the studio soon. The upcoming album is being produced by Butch Vig (who's produced Nirvana's "Nevermind," the Smashing Pumpkins' "Siamese Dream" and material for Sonic Youth and Garbage, for whom he also drums) and Jerry Finn (who produced Rancid's "…and Out Come the Wolves," much of Blink-182's catalogue and the new Sparta album).
