Background
Recorded after the All Hallows EP, The Art Of Drowning features a horror punk sound which had been explored on the band's preceding release, albeit this time inflected with elements of alternative rock. The album contains many more slower-tempo songs, such as "6 to 8" and "Morningstar," than any of its predecessors. Facets of AFI's brand of hardcore punk are also prominent in the album, which still features the diaphragmatic screams of Davey Havok, gang vocals, and several fast-tempo songs. The album was the last to be self-produced by the band. The 2003 follow-up, Sing the Sorrow, was produced by Butch Vig and Jerry Finn.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
