Australian metalcore trailblazers THE AMITY AFFLICTION recently announced their new album Not Without My Ghosts, out May 12 via Pure Noise. Today, the band has shared the video for the title track, featuring Phem.
The title track is “a song about the way which you can’t travel through life without dragging the ghosts of your past behind you, and how they manifest in their various forms,” shares Birch.
And, as a whole, the album itself addresses “the paradox of not wanting to be alive, and yet needing to stay here, while also mourning the loss of friends and trying to use the music as catharsis,” Birch previously explained.
It’s a heavy record — both sonically and thematically, and that’s just how the band’s fans like it!
Not Without My Ghosts boasts multiple features — something the band has not incorporated into a release in quite some time — including late New Zealand rapper Louie Knuxx, who passed away in 2021, as well as Comeback Kid‘s Andrew Neufeld, The Plot in You’s Landon Tewers, and Phem.
