I HOPE YOU SUFFER (Official Audio)

[@Moley_Mole]

Hits right to the heart for me!

[@djn6962]

Agreed....

[@ihopethispops]

Right in the feels 😞

[@jak834]

My wife left 25 days ago left everything. Fuck her. Fuck it

[@09kedinw]

You are not alone! AFI has a special place in my heart because they are always changing and are always experimenting with new sounds. In my opinion, this is what has allowed them to endure through all these years. I don't compare the old stuff with the new stuff. This new stuff is a culmination of 21 years of musical evolution. The timbre of Davey's voice constantly changes while still staying the same. I just love it.

[@xKyleChaosx]

Went to my first Progress show last night and heard this, so had to find out who it was by. Surprised it was AFI lol!

[@TIMMAYMOFO]

Jimmy fuckin havoc?

[@jakesomething]

This song is perfect

[@saedemoph]

art of drowning, black sails in the sunset and Sing the sorrow are the best for me!! They were master pieces!

[@eazyARW]

This track got released right after I got my heart ripped out of my chest. Impeccable timing AFI! They've been there to sing the sorrow for me for more than a decade.

[@LordanARTS]

Yeeeeehaw! My boys are BACK!

[@thatscalledyes]

JESUS CHRIST THIS IS BEAUTIFUL YOU FOUR MEN ARE THE MOST PERFECT ANGELS IN THE UNIVERSE I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS FOR TWO HOURS GOODBYE

[@SalokinSolilei]

I didn't realize how much I've missed them. Everybody has their own favorite AFI era, I'm all about The Art of Drowning and Sing the Sorrow. This definitely has potential. I feel like autumn is coming back. And it's fucking awesome.

[@somekindahate82]

19 people can't handle a band who's sound constantly evolves and changes but remains uniquely theirs. Their loss- this album is shaping up to be something very special, and I'm still proud to wear my DF tattoos with pride

[@illswallowtheocean]

Those drums are massive and it's just so...dark. Yet it sounds like nothing AFI has done before. This exceeded my expectations in every way.

[@Arian545]

This sounds dark and intense, like AFI is supposed to be... this song has gotten me even more stoked for a new album, One can only hope that all the songs will be this good.

[@natedavies954]

As 40 year old musicians go, I'm glad they've been able to accept themselves and their personal tastes so freely. For private individuals, they sure do wear their influences openly!

[@thebaconflapsable]

New sound but completely blown away by it. I love that Davey has brought back the gritty vocals. I hope there is more complexity on the album and less repetitiveness but fantastic single.

[@doodcruise]

he raised his voice and sang aggressively which is a good sign.

[@Ddangerous420]

With crash love I started to give up on AFI, Decemberunderground helped me out through so much in life, and i got so disappointed with their last album . Now that I've listened to this track, I've gained my faith back in AFI, keep rocking on, and give me a reason to believe.

[@nathangray6675]

Davey's lucky he's got a fan base that is willing to wait 10 years for his voice to come back. His man package is all over that track. So. Boss. Excited Like the Old Days!!!

[@Hernandezzy09]

Crash Love had some true gems (Torch Song, End Transmission, Cold Hands...) while still adequately marking AFI's evolution as a band. It was a new direction for them, which, as an artist, is to be respected. And, I know some of these weren't written for Crash Love, but the CL B-sides are some of the most fantastic AFI songs ever created.

[@RpgCrow]

i dont really care for this album but im loving the positive feedback its getting in the comment section, AFIs my favourite band and positive feedback means we might get a new album

[@imsodamnhot]

This is how to objectively critique something!

[@anialopatiuk2467]

Intense feeling

[@anialopatiuk2467]

One of their most contradictive albums

[@anialopatiuk2467]

Still love them,their poetry and music,to stay unigue for30years,just incredible

[@itsamarahbetchez]

This took me immediately back to Sing of Sorrow, but with so much more rough and raw attitude. This is what everyone hoped their newest work would be. They delivered and no one would dare say anything to complain!

[@tonenolovesyou5506]

Davey's voice sounds lovely in this song!! I will never not love this band.

[@lordkieta]

I love Very Proud of Ya, I love Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes, I love Answer That and Stay Fashionable, I love Black Sails in the Sunset, I love The Art of Drowning, I love Sing The Sorrow, I love Decemberunderground, I love Crash Love, and I love this. Real fans stay true to the end. AFI is a genre in themselves. If you're unsatisfied, listen to On The Arrow. In that song, they tell you "No-one shines forever, they change with the weather" People change. Bands change. But AFI Forever.

[@heavenwithin81]

I simply cannot resist those vocals. They conjure up a feeling that feels right yet it's indescribable.

[@thirtysevenism]

This is how I imagined decemberunderground would sound. I'm so excited for this album.

[@LittleBitOfSunshine1]

Fires are more beautiful when they can burn out...leave the black ashes behind, and through memory pheonix reclaims, once passion.

[@michaelnoury1302]

i just got so high from just hearing his voice again. this is what my life has been missing Davey

[@taylorgoesmoo333]

I love how they have that dark feel again, reminiscent of their older music, the vocals are beautiful.

[@metalblade314]

This is one band that always kept writing top quality music. they are so talented it blows my mind. if you do not like this you just can't understand the genius of pure talented music. pure hearted musicians.. this will be a MUST buy for me

[@MrToiletclogger]

If you hate this. Move on from this amazing band. This is there best thing ever. Big fan for a long time and this song just sticks in your head and is so good!

[@Sniffr0st]

I don't understand how do they make so many tunes and genres, but every time had it had its AFIness and unique sound in it. AFI is genius

[@kyrtos514]

I don't think they ever sold out, and in everything they do you can always hear their roots pushing through, honestly I was happy with CrashLove and even this sounds good, it's an evolution on everything they've done.

[@Taraific]

Perfect blend between all of their previous styles. This album will be to die for.

[@natedavies954]

I got that kind of a vibe too! The outro where the instrumentation fades and Davey elicits the 'I fucking suffered'.. Quite an emotionally visceral moment, especially when punctuated by the somber moments after and the punch of the drums beforehand.

[@zeepunky]

You gotta love the diversity these guys bring in their music. Always something new, brilliant. Stoked for the new album.

[@KendylTV]

I feel like I'm the only one who loved AFI through both their hardcore days and through their "sell out" days. I've always adored bands like Depeche Mode and The Cure, so that may be why Decemberunderground made me just as happy as Black Sails and Art of Drowning did. That's what I love about AFI, they're always changing, and yet they still have that primary sound I can't explain. This is very different from previous albums and has a very cinematic sound to it, I enjoy it. The lyrics especially

[@rapingwalrus]

I'm so relieved to hear them mixing their old and new stuff into something like this. I love their older more than their newer material and finally hearing a dark tone again after all these years is just so pleasant. I'm buying this album the day it came out!...along with the next SOAD album...well if they "feel the time is right."

[@headphoneactor8477]

I understand you, though I love AFI for "Sing the Sorrow". That is such a jewel for me, and I embrace that album with my heart. But, I've grown to like all of AFI's, from their punk era, to the hardcore and horror stuff, to their more alternative and rock-pop approach. Truly geniuses on whatever they craft. They have the Touch of Midas. Long live A Fire Inside!

[@DecemberUnDead]

I think that bands always continue to change and evolve and every new sound that AFI has created has been absolutely flawless. Forever a fan.

[@Chrono1995Trigger]

Holiday!!! Patience and faith have rewarded me with a new album and tour coming through my city! Great song too.!

[@ChelseaLeeCook]

I am so happy with this song. It sounds like their older stuff, which is what I love. I think they did a great job with it. Love it! Can't wait to hear more if the rest of the album is anything like this.

[@DNGRNDL]

from the first album in 1995 to this. absolutely beautiful.

[@Winter_337]

AFI has been and always will be a changing and evolving band. They've been through many different styles, all of which have been unique to the extent that it is without a doubt AFI. In a band like that can exist and still produce interesting music, not everyone has to like it. People who hate on Crash Love annoy me. It's what they were feeling then, it's doing what they love doing. You should respect all their works, but that doesn't mean you have to like them all.

[@BreeAnn823]

Exactly!

[@somberamarath]

He's done it before in plenty of instances. He's just always been very good at burying the curse words inside the piece so that instead of standing out they are such a part of the energy that they almost become invisible in the torrent of emotion.

[@xmooneyxonex]

Well said. All these comments for YEARS of "They changed WTF happened?" It's nice to see that some people realize that while bands may change sound, they are still the same at their core, still possessing everything that you originally fell in love with. I dig The Art Of Drowning...So much. But all of their stuff still speaks to me, just in different ways. This is no exception. I didn't get my lifetime membership in the DF to just ignore it.

[@marknunez889]

The anger in his voice, the way he softly speaks, and from 4:20 on...

[@Daveyfuckinglovesme]

This is perfect, this band is perfect. They will always be perfect

[@4ll1d0155m0k3w33d]

Crash Love was utterly miserable, listened to it twice and gave up on that garbage. So glad to have my faith restored in AFI!

[@LexxiMacabre]

yeah of course AFI was awesome in their older days but their new stuff is awesome as well. One of the many things I admire about them is the risks they take to try different sounds as a band. To do that successfully, that's talent. Yet, they always manage to have a dark tone as well. They never fail to impress me.

[@solidisdante]

This song live.... it was so amazing the hair stood up on my neck. So sinister and amazing.

[@lashleyfanlesley]

When they play this live its fucking amazing

[@xDigitaLxJedi]

I've liked every single AFI album. Not a single one I don't own or listen to all the time. Crash Love and Decemberunderground were very well written and a lot more mature than their earlier works, but the emotion is still behind it. I'm excited for Burials. I think it will be a great song. PLUS Blaqk Audio has been phenomenal since CexCells in 07.

[@AVA337]

I loved STS, to me thats the best album they ever came out with, my heart goes out to Butch Vig who produced it. He died shortly after, to me STS was perfection in writing music. The clandestine short film led to so much anticipation, and the 337 mystery drove me wild for years. That to me was Daveys ode to music that was the storm within Daveys head and he put it out there for all of us to get a glimpse at. This anticipation for this album has the same feel to and I awe ecstatic for the result!

[@crowe1]

Still blows my mind how AFI can almost totally change their sound every album and still be great. My favourite band since I first heard of them in ~'02.

[@TheHotLatte]

Forever screaming because it was so worth waiting 4 years to get this piece ahhh

[@cherrio16]

OMG! So much power in his voice!!!

[@MichaelDickson23496]

I had a feeling that finally this album would be the true successor to STS when they posted the first teaser video a few months back. That video showed that they were going back to the dark days and I must say with this song I feel more confident than ever we are finally getting the album we wanted.

[@Llewxam888]

Better than the entirety of Crash Love. So happy Davey is screaming again and those fantastic harmonies remind me of the days of old.

[@MidnightInAlaska]

AFI are the reason I got in to music and Davey is the reason I became a vocalist. This track fucking rules and the fact that the album comes out on my birthday makes me beyond excited. Thanks AFI!

[@Dang3tsu]

I truly cannot wait for this new album. This song is fantastic. It has more of a rock sound than the previous two albums.

[@CourtneyHammett]

I hoped it would remind me of Sing the Sorrow. It does, but it really stands alone as a new direction. Reminds me of 30 Seconds to Mars, but with Davey's amazing vocals and this hook, the chorus, it's all so beautiful and graceful. Dark beauty. I've been waiting so long. I'm just emotionally overwhelmed.

[@Stabsnipers]

God damn this band is so amazing. Been listening for 13 years and the music gets better and better.

[@whitt32778]

This single has the makings of an epic album !!! Davey has returned to his roots ( Sing the Sorrow) of describing pain and suffering from trusting a person in a loved relationship. AFI has had a very distinct progression with their music, and other side projects, but this single definitely alludes to a classic album

[@Skeksix]

Fantastic interpretation of the song, nice to see people reading between the lines rather than skimming the surface.

[@luancastro9175]

intoxicated with his music,,, love this...thanks

[@scariestscenarios]

It's like when my chem tried new stuff, some people will hate it, but this growth is inevitable. To me, this is so far more reminiscent of Sing the sorrow. And I've loved all their music, I love the change, all great bands change... And they are great.

[@lets_go_with_rho]

As an avid AFI fan since 1999, I have to say I'm definitely interested to listen to the rest of this album. It's very unusual for AFI to have such a raw and direct sound to them, especially lyrically. Traditionally, their lyrics are really cryptic and almost impossible to interpret, but this is so raw and blaring that it seems almost out of character for them. However, it's that kind of ambition and willingness to deviate from their norms that makes me excited for this album.

[@jorgets4109]

I was waiting for this so long... Thanks God for this!!!

[@hissymcrlovezten]

Excited to get this album ASAP. I've missed Davey's gritty sound. It's nice to hear it back again.

[@BlankMindSlate]

Art of Drowning was the album that got me into AFI. Every Album before that made me love them.

[@DVAwithaHandgun]

Every band has a signature style, be it the precussions, vocals, gutars, bass riffs, etc. AFI always had their signature sound that incorporated all aspects of the band, they've evolved from thrashing on instruments pre-Black Sails, to fully orchestrated grandiose music with tons of atmosphere and the dark "gothic" element. That's apparent in all albums Black Sails and up. Even in Crash Love. It's still there. A little more present than Crash Love which makes people say "Yay AFI is Back!"

[@StephenAndrew777]

I agree. I'm happy this song sounds so good.

[@armidajacobo3202]

Thank you, I love the song, Davey´s voice sounds amazing, Davey, Jade, Hunter, Adam I love you, AFI 4ever , guys ur more than incredible ,

[@aaronhoeber5970]

Its just like Black Sails in the Sunset. Not everyone loved that Album. They tried something different. Crash Love was the same way. They are always evolving and that is what I love about AFI.

[@Sniffr0st]

"We just come from the place of wanting to be 100% happy with the works we create, rather than fulfilling some sort of demand, whether it be from a label or a consumer," Havok says

[@KendylTV]

Exactly. Even though their late-2000s material may not have appealed to ALL of their primary fans, I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was progress for the band. The lyrics were still so deep and meaningful and spoke to me, yet it was something more accessible to newer listeners that may not have been familiar with their beginning material. I never got to get the DS membership, because needless to say, I was underage and couldn't make my own money. Now I have a job, but I'm still poor, haha.

[@TheOpalina]

I love all of afis work from early to new no matter what anyone says we all evolve all i have to say is please visit us here in Cleveland

[@ShaidexKistunet]

I loved all of their albums, but Sing the Sorrow will always be the best.

[@singundertherose]

I am SO glad that my favourite band continues to write music that I love.

[@coincidentalfreak]

I have been a fan from day one and from listening to this i still am!!. I had no doubts this would be epic, cant wait to hear the album. Good job guys.

[@rosanapachecoful]

Afi is a very good band!I enjoy listening to them,it´s when I feel in a good mood.Every song has it´s meaning for me.

[@Brophinator23]

Davey's vocals! Sublime.

[@kembool]

im with you Rocket , wishing the haters would just simmer down . because its a new afi album , that in and of itself is worth whatever price . Let alone the amazing sound this song has , i cannot wait to hear the rest

[@thebuddhaofthefoothill5841]

God I love this band so much please don’t stop making such great music !

[@SaveAwesomeMatt]

Oh my god... They're back. Still very different from the AFIs we've heard but the darker, angrier sound is there along with the slightly melancholy mood and it's AFI!!! I loved Crash Love, to be honest. I loved all of their music but this is the AFI I originally loved. I'll love every AFI album, I guarantee because it's not about WHAT emotion they're conveying, it's that they can make any emotion amazing! Love these guys and always will.

[@Kyattchan]

I love this so much.. it hurts.. ❤

[@Atolocus35]

i totally agree, i love this song.

[@Stuffcom]

...and suddenly everything feels right. I'm sorry AFI. You had me worried after that last album. THIS is wondeful. I was so dissappointed with Crash Love that I had almost given up hope, but Blaqk Audio was so good that I figured there was still a lil hope. This feels like a new grand step in the progression of the wonderful band known as AFI. Seriously idk if anyone realizes what this song means to me.

[@headphoneactor8477]

It's not gone. It's still there in all those glorious albums they made. But I understand the drastic change of the punk rock to the new wave oriented that AFI has pulled with this song. People change over the years, so does music. So does people's tastes. Too bad if what you wish are more, new different songs with the punk style and Davey's voice, but you can still appreciate over and over anything they got before Black Sails in the Sunset, man. Cheer up. There's plenty of other options, too!

[@ChangizianKisses]

He's back, and it sounds Amazing. For someone who only listens to Rap, its good. Altho Davey was very inspirational for me when i was younger, had every album. But anyway Beautiful sound.

[@whitefire137]

This song is amazingly addictive. I love the new sound and I hope the rest of the album sounds like this. If so, it's going to be incredible.

[@magicflyingpigs]

amazinggggg. So much better than their last album which was a miss for me. I'm SOOO exciteddddddd. nothing better than looking forward to an album.

[@dylantidwell93]

This song is FUCKING perfect! I can't even believe my ears. I have listened to this like 10 times already!!! I'm so proud of this band and what they have made here. This is art at it's finest!

[@MrSoccs]

Right on, long time fan, and I am liking this, im sure the rest of the album will be phenomenal

[@alexbperry1]

I can definitely appreciate this. Although i do miss everything before sing the sorrow I can appreciate where they have come. Very interested in seeing how this album turns out. Buttt Black Sails was the sound that made me love AFI. I remember hearing this live track when they played with Sick Of It All and Davey was giving a huge shout out to them for always sticking with hardcore and never selling out... Then what happened. Still love them but just sayin

[@spadesofdeath2412]

This is like the perfect mix of old and new. I love it.

[@EddiePicnicsAllWet]

This definitely captures my interest. Everyone knows that the singles the last three albums spawned were decent, but were nothing in comparison to some of the other tracks and the albums in their entirety. And with a lead single like this, their new album definitely has promise.

[@nojusticeanywhere]

If you like EVERYTHING a person puts out,then you don't like their work,you just like them.Something always seems to stand out,however.

[@zaeltrus]

THEY ARE BACK!!! Thank god!!! Faith totally restored guys... So happy!! Keep up the good work guys this is fking awesome!!!

[@EsedeSam]

I missed that voice. Come on AFI I can't wait to hear more!
