It has been announced that Craft Recordings will be teaming up with AFI to reissue their album, Black Sails in the Sunset, on vinyl for its 25th anniversary.
Originally released on May 18th, 1999, Black Sails in the Sunset marked the first release from AFI to feature their current lineup. Available July 19th, this reissued and expanded edition features fan favorites “Malleus Maleficarum,” “Porphyria” and “The Prayer Position,” plus three bonus tracks: the previously unreleased “Weight of Words,” rarity “Who Knew?” (originally issued as a Japanese B-side) and the vinyl-exclusive “Lower It.”
In addition to a wide Neon Orange pressing, fans can also find several limited color variants of Black Sails in the Sunset, including a “Sunspot” variant (available exclusively through the AFI official store), “Tropical Sunset” (via Craft Recordings/Nitro Records) and “Oriole” (Revolver).
