The Amity Affliction Premiere New Single & Music Video "Bleed" From Upcoming New Album "House Of Cards"

Australian metalcore mainstays The Amity Affliction have released another preview of their forthcoming studio album, “House Of Cards.” The band have debuted a Daniel Daly-directed music video for their latest single, “Bleed.”

“House Of Cards” marks the first album from The Amity Affliction since Jonny Reeves (Kingdom Of Giants) stepped in to replace bassist/vocalist Ahren Stringer — a split that was reportedly less than amicable.

The album is set for an April 24th release through Pure Noise Records.

According to vocalist Joel Birch, the song was partly inspired by interactions on social media, as he explained:

“This song is a bit of a ‘fuck you’ to people online who leave comments like they know me personally, or know anything about what’s happening in my life, and a bit of a reminder to myself that I am not beholden to that idea, and I am the person I know myself to be. ‘I bleed the way I bleed…’ is my way of saying that I am the way I am not the way I am perceived to be by people who don’t actually know me and have formed or projected an idea of me onto me by way of social media.”
