Roadrunner recording group THE AMITY AFFLICTION has announced details of their new album. Titled Let The Ocean Take Me, the Australian metalcore masters’ fourth full-length record will be released on June 9th.

Let The Ocean Take Me is available now for pre-order on iTunes, with all pre-orders receiving an instant download of the album’s powerful first single, ‘Pittsburgh’ (see video below).

Urgent, aggressive, and remarkably cathartic, Let The Ocean Take Me is The Amity Affliction at their vital best. Recorded by producer Will Putney (WINDS OF PLAGUE, UPON A BURNING BODY) at guitarist Troy Brady’s Evergreen Studios in Brisbane, the album 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 potent lyricism. Inspired in part by a near death experience suffered during last year’s Vans Warped Tour, songs like ‘Don’t Lean On Me’ and ‘FML’ are fueled by intense emotion and anxiety but transcend through honesty and raw power.

“(The album) is about really trying to find a positive in my life again,” Birch says. “Writing these songs was a very cathartic process, but I’m terrified of people listening to them and reading these lyrics because they’ll know exactly what I’m thinking. I’m hiding nothing.”
