The Amity Affliction es una banda australiana de post-hardcore/metalcore que logró cautivar a millones de seguidores alrededor del mundo con sus letras emocionales y potentes melodías. La banda se fundó en 2003 en Gympie, Queensland. Los miembros fundadores, Ahren Stringer y Troy Brady, comenzaron a tocar juntos en la escuela secundaria, y después de algunos cambios en la formación, finalmente se establecieron como una fuerza a tener en cuenta en la escena del metalcore.
En 2008, lanzaron su primer álbum de estudio, "Severed Ties". Este trabajo no solo mostró su habilidad musical, sino que también destacó por su capacidad para abordar temas personales y emocionales. Canciones como "I Heart H.C." y "Stairway to Hell" dejaron una marca en los fanáticos del género, posicionando a la banda como una promesa emergente.
El verdadero ascenso de The Amity Affliction comenzó con su segundo álbum, "Youngbloods", en 2010. Con una producción más pulida y letras profundamente personales, la banda empezó a ganar terreno internacional. La canción "Anchors" se convirtió en un himno para muchos y la crítica elogió su capacidad para balancear la agresividad musical con melodías pegajosas.
La consolidación de su éxito vino con el lanzamiento de "Chasing Ghosts" en 2012. Este álbum no solo alcanzó el número uno en las listas de álbumes de ARIA (la principal lista musical en Australia), sino

[Intro]
I am my father's son, I am my father's mistakes
I'm easily undone, and I'm no stranger to rage
I am no stranger to rage
Oh!
I am no stranger to rage
[Verse 1]
I built the bars out of bottles, drowned myself just to escape
I am my father's son, I am my father's mistakes
And I'm ashamed of myself, I just want out of this place
This fucking hell I created, I can't seem to escape
I had to learn for myself, the fastest way to my death
So I could follow his footsteps to my hospital bed
[Chorus]
All my life I have been trying to understand myself
It seems like my own reflection is just somebody else
It's taken years to know my father courses through my veins
And though I never knew him, it turns out we're the same
[Post-Chorus]
I am no stranger to rage
[Verse 2]
I am my father's son, won't be my father's mistakes
I've crept through shadows and alleys, found my home on the streets
I've felt the cold glare of strangers as they passed over me
I never figured I'd turn out to be such a disgrace
But I'm my father's son, the sum of all his mistakes
I had to learn from myself, the fastest way to my death
So I could follow his footsteps to my hospital bed
[Chorus]
All my life I have been trying to understand myself
It seems like my own reflection is just somebody else
It's taken years to know my father courses through my veins
And though I never knew him, it turns out we're the same
[Post-Chorus]
I am no stranger to rage
[Outro]
And though I never knew him, though I never knew him, it turns out we're the same
And though I never knew him, though I never knew him, it turns out we're the same
I am my father's son, I am my father's son
I am my father's son, won't be my father's mistakes
I am my father's son, I am my father's son
I am my father's son, I am my father's son
