AFI - Black Sails In The Sunset LP

Label: Nitro

Black Sails in the Sunset is the fourth studio album from AFI. It was first released in 1999 through Nitro Records.

The band members, sans Jade Puget, were roommates when guitarist Mark Stopholese departed AFI. Puget had just graduated college and was living in Davey Havok's room while the band was on tour. They asked him to join the band as the new guitarist and immediately began writing the album; Puget had already written the basis for "Malleus Maleficarum". The band describes the album as forming the beginning of their subsequent sound, which contains more melodic vocals, as opposed to their first three albums, which maintain a fast, non-melodic punk sound. "God Called in Sick Today" marked the band's first ballad-style song.

The album has been described as a hardcore punk album as well as a horror punk album
