The Amity Affliction are one of Australia’s finest metalcore exports, and the band has made waves today with the news of their upcoming album Not Without My Ghosts. Out May 12th on Pure Noise Records, physical pre-orders are now live here or here. The band has also dropped the video for their single “It’s Hell Down Here”. If the single is any indication, fans are in for a very heavy record.
“This song is a a letter from myself and Ahren, written by me, to our friends who have passed on to the other side,” Birch shares.
He continues, “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.”
