If you’re looking for an absolute ripper of a Halloween album to put on today it’s hard to beat AFI’s 1999 extended play All Hallows EP. Clocking in at a tidy 13 minutes across four songs, the band blasts through some Halloween-inspired fare in a way that only old school AFI could muster. The songs are hard and fast, lead singer Davey Havok was at the peak of his abilities and sounds absolutely possessed, and their cover of Misfits’ iconic “Halloweeen” does the original justice in a way that outshines the original. In a neat piece of trivia, Havok was actually in the running to front the iconic Misfits in the 90’s but he ended up passing in order to serve as the frontman for AFI– the rest is history.
Standout Songs: “Halloween”, “The Boy Who Destroyed The World”, “Totalimmortal”
