Australia’s The Amity Affliction have entered a Florida studio to work on their proper Roadrunner Records debut, ‘Chasing Ghosts’.
‘Chasing Ghosts’ is scheduled to be released on September 17. It follows the band’s previous album ‘Youngbloods’. The Amity Affliction are holed up in the studio with producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Alter Bridge, Falling In Reverse, Escape The Fate, Incubus) as they prepare their latest offering.
Frontman Joel Birch checked in from the studio to shed a little light on the process, saying: “Recording with Elvis has been the most amazing experience for Amity since we began making records eight years ago. It’s incredible. We came into this record more prepared than we ever have before as well, so everything is coming together really, really well.
We’re all loving the new songs. It feels like there is an entire album of awesome songs that we love which hasn’t happened prior to this; we’ve finally written an album we are proud of from start to finish, no filler whatsoever.” The singer also commented on the lyrical direction of Chasing Ghosts, revealing, ” I’ve tried to write my thoughts in a manner that can connect with people on an even more personal level than I did on Youngbloods, and I’m proud that the substance and depth hasn’t been lost or compromised, or watered down.”
