Interview by Kris PetersAFI are coming!Formed in 1991 by California high school students Davey Havok (vocals) and Adam Carson (drums, backing vocals), AFI (short for A Fire Inside) began as a hardcore act. After gaining traction in the Bay Area scene and releasing their 1995 debut, Answer That and Stay Fashionable, the band signed to Nitro Records—the legendary incubator for some of punk’s biggest names. In the ensuing years, AFI built a steady following through releases like 1997’s Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes and 1998’s A Fire Inside EP, while they cemented their long-running line-up with the addition of bassist Hunter Burgan in 1997 and, finally, guitarist Jade Puget in 1998.With the release of their fourth studio album, 1999’s Black Sails in the Sunset, AFI moved in a new direction, expanding beyond their hardcore roots and venturing into increasingly melodic territory—incorporating elements of gothic rock, horror punk, and even reflective balladry—creating a unique style that would soon make them international stars.In the years following, AFI found significant commercial success, breaking into the mainstream with Platinum-selling albums like 2003’s Sing the Sorrow and 2006’s Decemberunderground, which topped the Billboard 200. Along the way, the band scored a variety of hit singles, including Girl’s Not Grey, Love Like Winter, Medicate, and Miss Murder, which landed atop Billboard’s Alternative chart in 2006.Today, with 11 studio albums, 10 EPs, four MTV Video Music Awards, and one GRAMMY® nomination to their name, AFI shows no signs of slowing down, much to the delight of their multi-generational, global fanbase.HEAVY had the pleasure of speaking with drummer ADAM CARSON ahead of the tour. AFI are coming to Australia supporting GREEN DAY with select headline sideshows as well.

Interview by Kris PetersBritish metalcore giants Architects have released their eagerly awaited new studio album The Sky, The Earth & All Between via Epitaph Records. This is the band's 11th studio album, with singles like Whiplash delivering an intense fusion of power and stadium-swaying melody, offering a tantalizing preview of the album, along with songs like Seeing Red and Curse, with those two tracks collectively amassing over 70 million streams to date.Since their last studio album in 2022 - the critically acclaimed The Classic Symptoms Of A Broken Spirit, Architects have continued their stratospheric rise, establishing themselves as one of the most important rock bands to emerge from the UK. They have spent the last 12 months touring extensively, most notably as one of the personally chosen support acts on the Metallica tour as well as appearances at Louder Than Life, AfterShock, Mayhem, Download and a headline slot at Bloodstock Festival. They have also just announced a handful of dates in support of Linkin Park next Summer.HEAVY had the pleasure of chatting with frontman Sam Carter and we start by asking how he is feeling about the reaction to The Sky, The Earth & All Between."Feeling pretty good," he smiled confidently. "It's an exciting time for us. I think eleven albums in we've had our fair share of these weeks leading into it (laughs) but we came back with a point to prove. If you're gonna release an album, it has to be good, but I think if you're on your eleventh album a lot of people have made their mind up about you too. So you have to come back swinging. You have to really show there is a real purpose behind the album being released. The effort and energy that went into it has been crazy, to be fair. We've really worked so hard on it. I'm so proud of it. I think it's one of our best albums - probably the best I would say. It's my favourite. I know everyone in a band probably says that when they're releasing their record, but I'm just so proud of it. Proud of the effort and energy we put into it and the reaction so far has been amazing."In the full interview, Sam talks more about what to expect from the album, how it serves as the beginning of a new era for Architects, the album opener Eulogy and why it was chosen to kickstart things, the meaning behind the title The Sky, The Earth & All Between, if it gets easier or harder to come up with new material the more music you write, his early days in the band and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
