Silver Bleeds the Black Sun... Lyrics & Tracklist - AFI

AFI’s twelfth studio album, Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…, will be released on October 3, 2025, through Run For Cover Records. This record marks another bold and dreamy chapter for the band, continuing their tradition of reinventing their sound with every new release. The album embraces a singular mood that is ethereal and cinematic, blending classic influences with modern textures. Lead single β€œBehind the Clock,” accompanied by a haunting music video directed by Gilbert Trejo, sets the tone for the album with its dark yet strangely beautiful atmosphere. Vocalist Davey Havok describes the creative process as inspiring and filled with artistic synergy.

The tracklist includes ten songs, featuring titles like “The Bird of Prey,” “Holy Visions,” and “A World Unmade.” The album explores themes of timeless darkness and otherworldly beauty, embodying the essence of AFI while offering something uniquely fresh. AFI will support the album on a headline North American tour with special guest TR/ST, running from September 30 to November 5, 2025. Fans can look forward to experiencing this captivating new era live, with physical releases available in exclusive vinyl editions and alternate cover art for collectors.
