Bright Black Heaven is the second studio album from AFI members Davey Havok and Jade Puget's side project Blaqk Audio. Showcasing Havok's moody, passionate croon against Puget's atmospheric keyboard, guitar, and drum program productions, Bright Black Heaven finds the duo working some moody '80s-influenced synth pop into their electronic goth sound. Tracks such as the driving, cinematic "Cold War" and the similarly frenetic dance-pop number "Everybody's Friends" mix pulsing beats and shimmering synth lines with Havok's darkly sensual lyrics. These are late-night, club-ready tracks with a goth disco vibe.
