Roadrunner Records’ group, The Amity Affliction, will embark on a coast-to-coast North American headline trek this fall with special guests Being As An Ocean, Hundreth, and Trophy Eyes, with dates set to get underway September 11th in Lawrence, Kansas. D2C / VIP presale tickets will be available at 10 AM local time on June 7th via theamityaffliction.net, followed by general on sale at 10 AM local time on June 10th. For complete details and ticket information, visit this location.
Furthermore, The Amity Affliction are set to perform at a number of US festival dates including Denver, Colorado’s High Elevation Festival (September 10th), Chester, Pennsylvania’s Rock Allegiance Festival (September 18th), Fort Worth, Texas’ Texas Mutiny (September 24th), Houston, Texas’ Houston Open Air Festival (September 25th), Louisville, Kentucky’s Louder Than Life Festival (October 1st) and Janesville, Wisconsin’s Sonic Boom Festival (October 2nd) with more US festival dates to be announce shortly.
This summer, The Amity Affliction will headline through Europe with highly anticipated festival sets slated for the United Kingdom’s Download Festival (June 10th) and France’s Hellfest (June 18th). Following, The Amity Affliction will return home for a run of intimate Australian headline shows, which will see the band performing at venues they haven’t played in over four years. The long sold-out Australian dates kick off August 19th at The Tivoli in Brisbane, Australia.
The Amity Affliction’s new album, This Could Be Heartbreak, will arrive on August 12th.
This Could Be Heartbreak is available now for pre-order in a variety of limited edition physical bundles via theamityaffliction.net, with all DSP pre-orders now live. All digital pre-orders will receive an instant download of the album’s gripping first single, “I Bring The Weather With Me”, which debuted today along with the track’s official music video (see below).
Deeply personal and emotionally wrenching, This Could Be Heartbreak is The Amity Affliction’s most transformative and revealing record yet. Recorded by producer and longtime collaborator Will Putney at Melbourne’s Holes and Corners with additional drum tracking done at Sing Sing Studios, the album finds The Amity Affliction evolving their signature powerful and cathartic song craft. Both ambitious and grand, album standouts “This Could Be Heartbreak” and “All Fucked Up” are equal parts heavy and hopeful, fuelled by frontman Joel Birch’s desperation which achieves extraordinary transcendence through radical honesty and absolute power.
