March 23, 2023

The news many have been waiting for – Australian Metalcore band The Amity Affliction announced the release of their upcoming record “Not Without My Ghosts”, which will be out May 12th via Pure Noise Records. The announcement comes with another new single “It’s Hell Down Here”. Check out the video! “This song is a a letter from myself and Ahren, written by me, to our friends who have passed on to the other side.” “I’m 41. I’m bipolar. And I’m pretty tired of it. That’s where lyrics like ‘Like a snake I tire / the cold dark clouds, they steal my light’ come from. The song is wrapping up how I feel daily, and reflecting on the time leading up to my friend killing himself. I’m sure a lot of people who have experienced that guilt at not seeing what becomes glaringly obvious after the fact.” Singer Joel Birch on the new song The new record can be pre-ordered HERE.

The Amity Affliction finish their European tour in Munich

February 6, 2023

Last Saturday fans were in for a treat at the Backstage in Munich. It was the last stop on The Amity Affliction’s tour through the EU/UK in 2023. Actually, it should have happened in October 2022, but it was postponed back then. Munich was one of the places that were sold out. It’s not often that even the road to the venue is blocked by all the cars that were waiting for a parking space. The queue in front of the venue was gigantic and when Seeyouspacecowboy started their set about 45 minutes after doors, there still were people pouring through the doors. All the bands put on great shows, but when The Amity Affliction started their set with “Pittsburgh” everyone went wild. I’ve never seen this venue so packed. The crowd was singing every song at the top of their lungs. Crowd surfers were “handed” to the front all smiles and the minute they got back on their feet, they went back into the audience to do it all over again. They played a [Read More]

The Amity Affliction share two new tracks

October 20, 2020

The Amity Affliction released two b-sides from their latest record ‘Everyone Loves You….Once You Leave Them’ today. Check out ‘Midnight Train’ and ‘Don’t Wade In The Water’ Joel Birch on the new songs: “‘Midnight Train’ came about from Ahren just singing ‘midnight train’ in amongst some other garbage when he did the scratch track for me to get an idea of how he wanted to sing the chorus. We wrote the entire song around those two words, which wasn’t actually hard because there was some context to it. It follows an arc of my relationship with my wife, ending where we are today. We’ve known each other for 25 years and the song covers some key moments for both of us. ‘Don’t Wade in the Water,’ it’s a song about my mother and father and the role the church had in separating them, and then the role that the church and religion played in my later life. Obviously, it is a play on the old hymn sung by Ella Jenkins, which is a beautiful, beautiful [Read More]
