The Amity Affliction have announced that their eighth full-length album Not Without My Ghosts will release on May 12th through Pure Noise Records. Along with the news, the band released the video below for their new single “It’s Hell Down Here“.
Joel Birch, the band’s vocalist offered the following insight on the track:
“This song is a a letter from myself and Ahren, 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 reflecting 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.”
