Jordan Olds comments:
When I was in middle school, AFI was my gateway to punk, hardcore, and goth. Jade Puget specifically was probably the biggest influence on my guitar playing and songwriting in that very formative time in my life. He's such a melodic and unique player, and "Grey Mourning" is just a barrage of chromatic death metal riffs, so I thought it would be a really fun juxtaposition to set him loose in that kind of space and see what he came up with. I was honored that he agreed to do it, and his solo is so cool and unpredictable. It was exactly what I wanted.
In my freshman year of high school, I snagged a black Les Paul studio because I saw him playing one in the Leaving Song Pt. II video and that's actually the same guitar that I used to mimic his solo for the video. So this whole thing has been a wild full circle moment for me. Oh yeah, and the song is about vampires.
The new album also features performances from Kristin Hayter of Lingua Ignota and Brian Fair of Shadows Fall.
