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

[Verse 1]
Oh yes, this is all I've ever known
I'm trouble, can't be on my own
Rock bottom, every day
Dreamed to drown, throw my life away
Grow into comatose
Serenity with no memories to own
And the games within my mind
You're at peace, but all alone, but all alone
[Chorus]
Was there a sign I didn't read? Or was I lying to myself?
Holding fast to every skeleton I've got there on the shelf
I just tried to make them drown, drown every skeleton around
It's just another bottle down, it's just another bottle down, fuck
It's just another bottle down
[Verse 2]
I tried my hardest to be free
But I was trapped by my anxiety
Now back into the fold
Now back into the fight
Chasing demons from their hideouts
Cast the mountains to the light
Don't throw my body to the landfill
Don't throw my body to the sea
'Cause I'm not ready yet
I won't be just a fucking memory
[Chorus]
Was there a sign I didn't read? Or was I lying to myself?
Holding fast to every skeleton I've got there on the shelf
I just tried to make them drown, drown every skeleton around
It's just another bottle down, it's just another bottle down
[Bridge]
If I smash all of the bottles that built the shackles on my mind
Could I let go of all the pain eating me from the inside?
[Breakdown]
Death will never bring me down
When I die, I will die fighting
Death will never bring me down
When I die, I will die fighting
Death will never bring me down
When I die, I will die fighting
Death will never
[Chorus]
Was there a sign I didn't read? Or was I lying to myself?
Holding fast to every skeleton I've got there on the shelf
I just tried to make them drown, drown every skeleton around
It's just another bottle down, it's just another bottle down
It's just another bottle down
