The Amity Affliction, an Australian metalcore band from Gympie, Queensland, was formed in 2003. Their musical journey has been shaped by a darkly melodic sound, combining the intensity of metalcore with emotive and personal lyrical content. This juxtaposition has won them a loyal fanbase around the world. The core members, Ahren Stringer (bass, vocals) and Joel Birch (lead vocals), have been with the band since its inception, navigating through personal struggles and lineup changes to maintain the band's presence in the heavy music scene.

Over the years, The Amity Affliction has become synonymous with a sound that blends harrowing screams with soaring clean choruses, deeply confessional lyrics, and an uncompromising approach to their music. Albums like "Let the Ocean Take Me" and "This Could Be Heartbreak" have cemented their status within the genre, appealing to a wide array of fans seeking connection through their candid explorations of mental health, loss, and hope. Despite the evolution of their style, seen in releases such as "Everyone Loves You... Once You Leave Them" and "Misery," The Amity Affliction has retained their characteristic blend of sonic aggression and accessibility, while tracks like "Pittsburgh" and "All Messed Up" have become anthems among the alternative community. Their innovations continue with the release of lo-fi and acoustic renditions of their songs, showcasing their adaptability and the depth of their musical identity.
