The No Judgment Zone episodes
- Episode 29: AFIHappy Halloween from The No Judgment Zone! To keep things nice and spooky for you, we’re talking about the quintessential goth-rock band, AFI. We all know their 2006 hit “Miss Murder” but does AFI bring more to the table than horror themes and mysterious rabbits? We’re welcoming two very special guests and friends of the pod, the Brothers Fusia, to unpack all things AFI. Listen for some Halloween fun and hot takes!
Big thanks to Matt and Andy for sharing their decades-long love for AFI with The No Judgment Zone!

We’re discussing what is considered the most successful nu metal (adjacent?) album of all time, 2000’s The Sickness. While we all remember the animalistic intro to Down with the Sickness, does the rest of the song or album hold up to their “disturbing” image? Listen to find out!
