Faith Healer

Davey Havok and Jade Puget of AFI fame have another band with a more electronic vibe. Blaqk Audio, which has had some commercial success with it's dance/ ravy beats and boom boom boom bace, somewhat recently released a new album building upon what they had already established with their premiere debut a few years ago in "cex cells." Blaqk audio is a far cry from the earlier incarnations of Davey, Jade and their musical endeavors. Let us compare one of his earlier (and one of my favorite) songs and the newly released "Faith Healer."

Here, now is the new video for Faith Healer off of Blaqk Audio's newest album "bright black heaven." Notice the differences? It's like oats and honey, like grass and bark, stones and bricks, hair and clouds. (I have no idea what the pattern there is either.) Faith Healer builds upon the industrial sounds of computers screeching beautifully, and robots having sweet cybernetic intercourse that we have all come to expect from Blaqk Audio. This song also takes more "AFI-esque" lyrics, and Havok vocals remeniscent of Decemberunderground and build a really catchy song.  You WILL find yourself singing along with the "oooOO-OOO-oooo don't you know. If you come down down down..." portions of the song towards the end of the song, and you will love yourself for it. I mean, does he ever speak to you like I do? I didn't think so, chump-nugget. Now go listen to the rest of their album. Dat stuff be good, ya'll. 

You're going to find yourself humming this song in every elevator from here to Tuscaloosa and for that I give this song (not necessarily the music video) and the rest of "BRIGHT BLACK HEAVEN" a solid 3 Buscemi rating.
