The glass bottom boat of the cultural press
“afi”
This is a special Halloweeny type release, with extra spooky songs and a cover of the Misfits’ “Halloween.” The music is super fast and the songs have different song structures than most of the melodic-hardcore bands out there. The singing is that high-pitched yet throaty kind, along the lines of Ignite. Similar to previous outings.
