Songfacts®:

  • This song finds AFI lead singer Davey Havok paying the price for what someone else has done, and now he wants nothing to do with that person.
  • "Kill Caustic" is a dynamic, hard-driving, punk-influenced song highlighted by Havok's blood-curdling screams throughout the track. The song appears as the first full-length track on Decemberunderground, following the introductory tune "Prelude 12/21."
  • In a 2006 interview posted on IGN.com, AFI frontman Davey Havok described "Kill Caustic" as "one of the most energetic songs" on Decemberunderground, and "the most traditionally hardcore" track on the album. He added, "It's definitely got a dance part and a two-step part in the middle, and it's really fun for us to play... It's just a really aggressive-yet-anthemic melodic song. And we love it."
