The Amity Affliction drop It’s Hell Down Here, announce new album
Watch the video for The Amity Affliction’s new single It’s Hell Down Here, taken from their upcoming eighth album Not Without My Ghosts.
The Amity Affliction have unleashed a new single, It’s Hell Down Here, and announced details of their upcoming eighth album Not Without My Ghosts.
Detailing the inspiration behind the typically meaningful track, vocalist Joel Birch explains: “This song is a letter from myself and Ahren [Stringer], written by me, to our friends who have passed on to the other side.
“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 reflect 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.”
Not Without My Ghosts is due out in full on May 12 via Pure Noise – in the meantime watch the video for It’s Hell Down Here now:
