Despite the fact that
AFI singer
Davey Havok and guitarist
Jade Puget had been working on songs for their electronic side project
Blaqk Audio since before
AFI's breakthrough album,
Sing the Sorrow, came out in 2003, it took a few years for the music to see the light of day. The success of their group's major-label debut prevented the two from spending much time on it, though
Puget still continued to bring programmed sounds into
AFI's repertoire, both on
Sing the Sorrow and 2006's
Decemberunderground. Finally, in early 2007,
Havoc (on vocals) and
Puget (on everything else) were able to complete what they began, releasing the all-electronic dance and goth-inspired
CexCells on Interscope in August of that same year. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide
