About The Amity Affliction
The Amity Affliction is an Australian metalcore band from Townsville that formed in 2004. They've built a devoted fanbase by writing songs that sit at the intersection of crushing heaviness and genuine emotional vulnerability. Tracks like Seventy Times 7 and Misery showcase their trademark approach: abrasive instrumentation paired with lyrics about depression, loss, and survival. Their albums, particularly Let the Ocean Take Me and Chasing Ghosts, resonate with people who appreciate metal that doesn't shy away from introspection. Unlike plenty of bands in their orbit, they've maintained credibility by refusing to soften their sound for mainstream appeal, instead deepening their commitment to the metalcore template while exploring themes that matter to their audience.
Their shows are physically intense pit environments where people come to purge. Crowds are engaged but not ironic about it. Joel Birch's vocals hit with genuine conviction, and the band plays with the kind of tightness that justifies all those years of touring. Expect sweaty, cathartic energy rather than showmanship.
Known for Severed Ties, Misery, Chasing Ghosts, All Fucked Up, Pittsburgh

Salt Lake City road trip to see The Amity Affliction?
Stay in the Avenues neighborhood—tree-lined streets with actual character, close enough to downtown but removed from the noise. For dinner, Lazy Dog in Sugar House serves exceptional Colorado lamb and maintains a wine list that doesn't insult your intelligence. Spend an afternoon at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Red Butte Canyon; the building itself is architecturally stunning and the collection gives real context to the landscape you're actually standing in. The city's proximity to actual mountains matters when you've got downtime.
