About this product
For more than three decades, AFI has been in a nearly constant state of reinvention. The band have made it a point to evolve with every album-sometimes dramatically so-never allowing themselves to become too comfortable in one genre or rest on any of their impressive career laurels. It's an approach that has grown their audience but also challenged it with a sonic identity that can shift in wild, unexpected directions. Now with their twelfth album, Silver Bleeds the Black Sun..., AFI are once again at the start of a bold new chapter, only this time they've even managed to surprise themselves. How does a band that's known for creative upheaval still find ways to push themselves out of their comfort zones? Typically the group would start an album by immediately throwing themselves into writing and simply letting their intuitive musical shorthand guide the process, but for Silver Bleeds the Black Sun... AFI set out to purposely change their creative approach all together. This time it started with a conversation how could they break new ground? The key to moving forward actually ended up coming from AFI's collective past. InchWe started with something that sounded like Echo & the Bunnymen,Inch explains guitarist Jade Puget, who produced and engineered the album. InchBut eventually we ended up with this melange of death rock and post-punk-all this stuff from the late '70s and early '80s that we grew up on, like Sisters of Mercy, and Bauhaus, and Siouxsie and the Banshees.Inch The goal became making 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. Silver Bleeds the Black Sun... is dark and otherworldly, but also grandiose and stately, biting and beautiful in equal measure-in other words

![Clara Ward & the Famous Ward Singers - In Memory of Willa Ward-Royster - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/461a5d99-ccd4-4967-8f92-948061f1044a.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Apart from outdrawing contemporary blues and jazz artists for live appearances, Clara Ward and her Famous Ward Singers had no other peers in selling records. They kept an earthy sound, despite refined arrangements and accomplished musicianship. Soprano Marion Williams (later the celebrated leader of the super gospel group, the Stars of Faith) is the featured soloist on many of the songs on the CD. Gospel expert Anthony Heilbut has contributed with intriguing observations in the notes, written by Robert Sacr'. These 25 recordings span the years 1949-1958.
Limited 180gm brown colored vinyl LP pressing. Released in 2020, Great South Road is their seventh album, and features InchWallpaperInch, InchGravityInch, InchYou've Heard It All BeforeInch and InchOversea And ElsewhereInch. Fronted by brothers Peter O'Doherty and Reg Mombassa, Dog Trumpet have been playing, writing and recording their music since the early 90s. Reg and Pete were founding members of iconic Australian band Mental As Anything, who hit the charts around the world with InchLive It UpInch. The band made a mark with their left field mix of music, art, video and humor and leading eventually to ARIA awards and induction into the Hall of Fame in 2009. Recorded and produced by Peter at home in his 'South Road' studio, the brothers have created an inventive and original body of work distinguished by an eccentric and offbeat harmonic warmth and melodic drive propelled by Reg's distinctive slide guitar and Peter's elegant acoustic guitar and mandolin. Their poetic, yet at times absurdist lyrics are set against a sonic backdrop that could loosely be described as a meld of rock and roll, psychedelic folk, country and semi-abstract blues.
![Black Veil Brides - Bleeders - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/a8da1c3a-1850-4d0a-83de-061ad5d1cecb.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Black Veil Brides are forever champions of the isolated and dismissed. They're an object of devotion and obsession for those who sing their anthems in unison, a diverse BVB Army who never surrender. Bleeders, produced and mixed by Erik Ron (Papa Roach, Godsmack), offers a taste of what will become their most visceral, theatrical, and unrelenting era yet. As always, the band combines it's unique identity with an unquenchable creative thirst. Black Veil Brides and their audience slash away at the darkness together, bleeders one and all.
