Legendary metalcore outfit The Amity Affliction have today released Let The Ocean Take Me (Redux), giving fans an updated version of their 2014 album.
Let The Ocean Take Me was a breakthrough moment for the band, opening them up to a growing international audience, and pushing their sound forward as they found themselves becoming one of Australia’s premiere alternative acts. The album debuted at number 1 on the ARIA charts (the band’s second consecutive album to do so, following 2012’s Chasing Ghosts), reached number 31 on the Billboard 200 in the US, and is certified platinum in Australia.
Featuring singles such as ‘Pittsburgh’, ‘Don’t Lean On Me’ and ‘The Weigh Down’, Let The Ocean Take Me (Redux) elevates the unrelenting energy found on the 2014 album to new heights; every riff, breakdown and chorus hitting harder than ever. During the recording process, frontman Joel Birch was forced to face the heavy themes found on the record once again – reflecting on all of the highs and lows since the original release.
Coming off a huge European tour, which included appearances at the legendary Wacken festival (Germany) and Reading & Festival (UK) in August, the band have announced some special shows back on home soil.
The Amity Affliction are currently booked as headliners for the Big Pineapple Festival in Woombye, Queensland – with a lineup that includes the likes of Bliss N Eso, Golden Features and Peking Duk, set for the 19th of October this year. Following this, Australian fans will be able to catch the album in full this November, as they make their way across stages in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth with support from Ice Nine Kills, We Came As Romans and Heavensgate.
