Meanwhile, The Amity Affliction are among the “Best International Band” nominees for the second annual Journeys Alternative Press Music Awards, fueled by Monster Energy Drink, set for July 22nd at Cleveland, OH’s Quicken Loans Arena. Fans are invited to vote now at www.altpress.com/apmas. In addition, The Amity Affliction has been named in the “Breakthrough” category for the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards 2015, with voting ongoing at goldengods.metalhammer.co.uk/vote/breakthrough.
Urgent, aggressive, and remarkably cathartic, “LET THE OCEAN TAKE ME” is The Amity Affliction at their most vital best. Recorded by producer Will Putney (Winds Of Plague, Upon A Burning Body), the album – which includes the singles, “Pittsburgh” and “Don’t Lean On Me” – pushes the band’s signature post-hardcore approach to new heights of richness and diversity, providing the consummate aural partner to vocalist Joel Birch’s increasingly more potent lyricism. Inspired in part by a near death experience suffered during the 2013 Vans Warped Tour, songs like “Don’t Lean On Me” and “FML” are fueled by desperate emotion and intense anxiety but achieve extraordinary transcendence through radical honesty and raw power.
The Amity Affliction’s second consecutive gold-certified #1 album in their native Australia, “LET THE OCEAN TAKE ME” received wide-ranging praise upon its release last year. “There’s a deeply personal and emotionally wrenching side to this band,” raved Alternative Press, “one you don’t usually find with most breakdown-centric, sing/scream metalcore.” Loudwire praised The Amity Affliction for “delivering an album that rocks, but providing a deeply personal and intense story for those who invest themselves in what’s being said. Thumbs up to Birch for his honesty, and kudos to his The Amity Affliction bandmates for surrounding his words with an equal parts brutal and melodic soundscape.”
Always a hard-traveling live outfit, The Amity Affliction celebrated “LET THE OCEAN TAKE ME” by blowing up stages across North America on their first-ever US headline trek.
The Amity Affliction is: Joel Birch – Vocals * Ahren Stringer – Bass, Clean Vocals * Ryan Burt – Drums * Dan Brown – Guitar.
