The Amity Affliction are one of Australia's leading metalcore groups, with highly confessional lyrics and a melody-driven emo-tinged sound. The band emerged in 2008 with Severed Ties and hit their stride in 2012 with the release of their third full-length effort, Chasing Ghosts, which like subsequent outings This Could Be Heartbreak (2016) and Everyone Loves You… Once You Leave Them (2020), soared to the top of the Australian charts, and found international success as well. These ARIA-certified, chart-topping albums have seen the band tour Australia, the US and Europe.
