When you spend over two decades in an industry you get to see how predatory it can be, and the main victims of this predation are young bands that are wined and dined into deals that all but guarantee the band will only make money for the label and not for themselves. This is what happened with us; we were never a group of people who were gunning to be massive or successful, we didn’t really look to the future at all, instead we were completely taken by the treatment we received and the promises that were made and only when it was far too late and we were far too far along in our contract to do anything about it. This is a chance to claw some of that back and have some ownership over our own songs, something that we didn’t have while with our old label. Let this be the canary in the coal mine for younger bands, in this day and age you can find ethical and equitable deals, you don’t need to believe the bullshit larger labels will feed you, and you can maintain control over your masters and own your own songs. Thankfully we’ve always told people to get fucked when they’ve tried to meddle in our music or this could have been even worse, in any case, I hope that you guys enjoy this and give it a thrashing, we are personally much happier with this new recreation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the band about the themes found on the album:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album is almost entirely dedicated to addiction and the effects it had on my life and mental health; the strangest thing while rerecording this was reading the words and then reflecting on life since then, this album was the catalyst for us touring the world and turning what was just a really fun time into a career, from kids to adults, from haphazardly throwing together songs to the place where we’re at now where we feel like we put more purpose into everything we create. I started drinking again almost immediately after this album was finished and almost blew up everything I held dear, so the album is a warning of sorts, for myself and for anyone else out there struggling with addiction. I should have been able to read what I wrote and perform these songs and have it reinforce the very thing I had written about, but addiction is a soul crusher and just swallowed me up and spat me out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the band about the legacy of the album:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe wouldn’t be anywhere near where we are today without this album and the way it resonated with people around the world. This is the foundation of our band, and we owe everything we have to all of the people who listened to it, came out to our shows, and continue to show their love to us to this day. This is the greatest blessing.

Talking about the record, the band reveal “’Not Without My Ghosts’ mostly deals with the paradox of not wanting to be alive, and yet needing to stay here, while also mourning the loss of friends and trying to use the music as catharsis.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe news follows recent singles “I See Dead People” and “Show Me Your God”, which heralded the band’s return to their heavier roots.

In 2021, the band released a trio of singles – “Like Love”, “Give Up The Ghost”, and “Somewhere Beyond The Blue”.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOver the last nearly 20 years The Amity Affliction has garnered millions of fans who deeply resonate with the band, driving both streams and kudos for the lineup.
