Australian post-hardcore band The Amity Affliction will release its new album “House of Cards” on April 24, 2026, via Pure Noise Records. It will be the band’s first full-length featuring clean vocalist Jonny Reeves, who became a permanent addition to its lineup in 2025. Pre-order it here.
The band also has shared the album’s title track, which frontman Joel Birch wrote for his brother and sister (and himself), taking stock of the relationship shared with their mother — a central figure at the heart of the album.
“Our mother died in 2024, and none of us had a healthy relationship with her,” Birch said. “She was very self-involved, aggressive, abusive in our early years, and in her later years, spent a good amount of time trying to put a wedge between the three of us. Thankfully, once she passed, the three of us actually became closer as we realized we had individual, but shared trauma related to her.”
A music video for the song, directed by Daniel Daly, can be seen below.
Australian fans won’t be waiting long to see The Amity Affliction back in action, with the band’s 21-date regional tour with In Hearts Wake and Redhook starting in Queensland this week. The tour will have The Amity Affliction on the road through into March, band leading into the album release and its return to North America in April.
In addition, The Amity Affliction has been announced as part of the Hellbound Heavy Metal Cruise for 2027. Setting sail in January , the band will perform alongside heavyweights including Parkway Drive, Alpha Wolf, I Killed the Prom Queen and Thy Art Is Murder.
