Unpublished Blaqk Audio Interview from 2007

Several years ago, Matt Fanale of the short-lived magazine VF Magazine conducted a lengthy interview with Blaqk Audio that was never published. However, the interview has resurfaced HERE years later.

Davey discusses how Blaqk Audio was formed, the role of Interscope Records, specific albums that influenced the music, how the live show differs, and much, much more. The interview is quite lengthy, at almost 3,000 words.

  2. Good Interview!Also this question (me being immature...) made me giggle when he answered it :PVF: Does BA allow you to explore different elements of yourself than songs from AFI, either thematically or emotionally?DH: Absolutely. The music inspired me to go in an entirely different lyrical direction than any I’ve touched on in AFI. CexCells is primarily about sex, a topic never quite focused on in all 16 years of AFI.
