While I wait for Evanescence to finally release some new music, I have turned to other bands as a coping mechanism. A friend of mine highly recommended this band, so I gave it a listen.
The track listing is:
1. Prelude 12/21
2. Kill Caustic
3. Miss Murder
4. Summer Shudder
5. The Interview
6. Affliction
7. The Missing Frame
8. Kiss and Control
9. The Killing Lights
10. 37mm
11. Endlessly, She Said
AFI has a dark and unique sound that may be a bit of an acquired taste. They are not a mainstream band, but that really doesn’t matter (mainstream is very overrated). Anyone who likes alternative, emo, screamo, or metal-ish music might end up liking Decemberunderground. The lyrics are dark and at times slightly depressing, but they are reminiscent of poetry.
The lead vocalist (Davey Havok) is no Josh Groban, but he can sing and scream expressively, going from soft and sweet to anguished in a heart beat.
My favorite tracks on the album, were “Prelude 12/21,” “Miss Murder,” “Summer Shudder,” “Affliction,” “Kiss and Control,” and “The Killing Lights.” Yes, there exists a song named “The Killing Lights.”
I recommend this album to anyone who likes metal, alternative, emo, or screamo music. Anyone who enjoys dark, expressive music will enjoy this album.
Recommended to: Anyone who likes metal, alternative, emo, or screamo music. Teens, for morbid content.

I agree. This CD is awesome. They're an acquired taste, but that doesn't take away.
