Ahead of the The Amity Affliction hitting the road this summer as part of the ‘Summer Of Loud’ mega tour, the Australian metalcore giants have dropped a new single.
‘All That I Remember’ marks the first music from TAA since Ahren Stringer was out of the band and sees Jonny Reeves on clean vocals for the first time.
Lyrically, the track discusses personal recollections of a fractured relationship with a parent, with frontman Joel Birch explaining, “My mother knew only abuse and isolation, even in death as she cut her own children off. She died as she lived, paranoid and alone.”
Both of Birch’s siblings weigh in on their own reflections surrounding the new song, with brother Beau stating, “Time and again, our mother showed us that she would put herself first, and use life’s pain to justify her actions of self-interests, while we were left to fend for ourselves.”
Reaffirming this, Birch’s sister Chanel says, “This song reminds me how she would pit us against each other constantly, so much so I feel like my relationship with my brothers only grew after she was gone. When I was young, I couldn’t see it, I didn’t understand the manipulation until years had passed, and I crossed oceans to breathe.””
