The Amity Affliction Premiere Music Video For Title Track From Upcoming New Album "House Of Cards"

Australian metalcore outfit The Amity Affliction have announced their ninth studio album, titled House Of Cards. Pure Noise Records will release the album on April 24, and the band have also premiered a Daniel Daly-directed music video for the title track.

As longtime fans will know, the new record marks the group’s first release since their highly publicized split with former bassist/vocalist Ahren Stringer. Jonny Reeves (Kingdom Of Giants, etc.) has since stepped into that role.

Speaking on the title track, vocalist Joel Birch revealed that the song was inspired by the complicated relationship he and his siblings shared with their late mother, stating:

“Our mother died in 2024 and none of us had a healthy relationship with her. She was very self-involved, aggressive, abusive in our early years, and in her later years, spent a good amount of time trying to put a wedge between the three of us. Thankfully, once she passed, the three of us actually became closer as we realized we had individual, but shared trauma related to her.”

01 – “Vida Nueva“
