Legendary metalcore outfit The Amity Affliction have today announced the release of ‘Let The Ocean Take Me’ (Redux), which is set to drop on the 27th of September. The announcement is paired with the re-release of fan-favourite track ‘My Fathers Son’, which is available on all platforms as of today.
‘Let The Ocean Take Me’ was a seminal record for the band when it was released in 2014. The bands 2nd Aria Number 1 album, ‘Let The Ocean Take Me’ was praised by critics and fans alike – opening up the band to a larger audience, and pushing their sound to new heights. 10 years on and the fusion of raw emotion and dynamic soundscapes is just as poignant as it was upon release, full to the brim with timeless singles such as ‘Pittsburgh’, ‘Don’t Lean On Me’ and ‘The Weigh Down’.
The re-release comes after the band’s exit from their previous label, who they worked with from 2012’s ‘Chasing Ghosts’ up until 2018’s ‘Misery’. ‘Let The Ocean Take Me’ (Redux) is the band’s chance to take back ownership of their art, and move on from a difficult situation that has weighed immensely on the band in recent years.
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. 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.
