The Amity Affliction Premiere “It’s Hell Down Here” Music Video

The Amity Affliction have premiered a new video for their new song “It’s Hell Down Here.” This track is from the band’s new album “Not Without My Ghosts,” which will be released on May 12. Vocalist Joel Birch commented:

“This song is a letter from myself and Ahren, written by me, to our friends who have passed on to the other side. I’m 41. I’m bipolar. And I’m pretty tired of it. That’s where lyrics like ‘Like a snake I tire / the cold dark clouds, they steal my light’ come from. The song is wrapping up how I feel daily, and reflecting on the time leading up to my friend killing himself. I’m sure a lot of people who have experienced that guilt at not seeing what becomes glaringly obvious after the fact.”

“Not Without My Ghosts” Track Listing:

01. “Show Me Your God”
02. “It’s Hell Down Here”
03. “Fade Away”
04. “Death And The Setting Sun” (feat. Andrew Neufeld of Comeback Kid)
05. “I See Dead People” (feat. Louie Knuxx)
06. “When It Rains It Pours” (feat. Landon Tewers of The Plot In You)
07. “The Big Sleep”
08. “Close To Me”
09. “God Voice”
10. “Not Without My Ghosts” (feat. Phem)
