Australian melodic metalcore outfit The Amity Affliction have released their new album 'House of Cards', which channels their personal struggles into bombastic and fearless music.

Frontman Joel Birch has written songs about grief, rage, addiction, and heavy thoughts that are too much to say out loud.

The album features gothic keyboards, eerie synths, crushing guitars, and death metal growls in tracks like 'VIDA NUEVA', 'KICKBOXER', 'HEAVEN SENT', 'BLEED', and 'SWAN DRIVE'.

Other tracks, such as 'REAP WHAT YOU SOW', balance heavy riffs with soaring melodies.

The album is described as explosive, defiant, and smart without being self-indulgent, with every riff, scream, and melodic line feeling purposeful.

The Amity Affliction have built a global following on raw authenticity and emotional honesty in their music.

With 'House of Cards', they show that they are more vital, stronger, sharper, hitting harder, and connecting more deeply than ever.

The album marks a return to form for the band after years of turmoil, including the loss of a close friend to cancer, his mother's passing after a lifetime of neglect, and a change in lineup.
