A new album from The Amity Affliction \u2013 the first to feature bassist and clean vocalist Jonny Reeves \u2013 is on the way.<\/p>\n
Released via Pure Noise Records on April 24th, the long-awaited new studio album House of Cards\u00a0<\/em>is set to reaffirm the band\u2019s status as one of heavy music\u2019s most dynamic groups.<\/p>\n It is the first to feature Jonny Reeves, who became a permanent addition to the lineup last year. He replaced Ahren Stringer, who the band parted ways with in February last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n Today, The Amity Affliction have shared a first taste of the new album with its title track. Penned by frontman Joel Birch for his brother and sister (and himself), the song takes stock of the relationship shared with their mother \u2013 a central figure at the heart of House of Cards<\/em>.<\/p>\n Open about the difficult nature of the relationship shared between mother and children, Birch unpacked the thematic nature of the single: \u201cOur 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,\u201d he explained. \u201cThankfully once she passed, the three of us actually became closer as we realised we had individual, but shared trauma related to her.\u201d<\/p>\n Released alongside the track, is the music video for \u201cHouse Of Cards,\u201d directed by Daniel Daly.
