[@webcrawler2007]

Just a great band. "I Bring the Weather With Me" is an all time track

[@ps4masterrace508]

Definitely. One of my favorite albums of all time!

[@flawedlife5013]

Agreed

[@DEWtheDEWx3]

RIP Foghorn ! Great song

[@demaurimitchell3167]

Thank you, that song and album gets so much hate but TCBH is such an underrated album

[@t0aster_b4th]

Everything they make is great, imo

[@leanneportelli492]

This was the first song Joel did clean vocals. He was always a screamer so he did brilliant considering :)

[@holydiver757]

The singing on this album was done by accident

[@wrNKZMOVIES]

@@holydiver757 what do you mean?

[@Metalheadyup]

He did clean parts on some earlier songs though

[@wyrms9350]

You haven't heard Beltsville blues?

[@joshuaberecz515]

@@holydiver757 just some context, people complained that amity were doing the same stuff that sounded the same so they went and changed the sound a bit in which people then complained they went too far. Joel had actually said he wanted to do singing also the fact they had fallen out of love for heavy hence misery. Joel also said he thinks they went too far on this album in terms of not being heavy. They now want to go back heavy. It was in an interview. So was no accident

[@aarondodd5583]

"Soak Me In Bleach" is phenomenal

[@chrismarchand8059]

My favorite by them soak me in bleach is so good

[@chrismotionless4148]

​@@chrismarchand8059same here bro

[@bbschroeder7125]

It’s absolutely fantastic, I hope he checks that out if he hasn’t heard it yet

[@Wlfboy.02]

I know, it's amazing!

[@Joeydxn97]

Ivy (doomsday) by TAA has one of the cleanest breakdowns I’ve heard I love it

[@devinhouse285]

You still have to do the trilogy. "All Fucked Up,""I Bring the Weather With Me," and "This Could be Heartbreak"

[@chrisklema9992]

All fucked up fucked me up to watch. Highly recommend if you want to get kicked in the feels.

[@t0aster_b4th]

I didn't realize that was a trilogy, but it makes sense.. Thank you for pointing it out

[@devinhouse285]

@@t0aster_b4th yeah man all three complete the story of his suicide, burial, and what comes after

[@devinhouse285]

@@t0aster_b4th Their newest song "Like love" is pretty lyrically heavy as well

[@user-wh2ng7df6w]

So true. Lets go 👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@jaymesbailey2959]

“All my friends are dead” music video by Amity, fuckin greatness

[@keriannakeyonnie538]

They uploaded that the day after I seen them live... I was in one of the scenes 🤘🏻

[@moss3779]

“Feels like I’m dying” and “born to die” are incredible songs by them that I recommend

[@Metalphan1990]

Born to Die is a Lana Del Ray cover isn't it?

[@devinhouse285]

@@Metalphan1990 yes it is, and is one of the best covers. To me this is the original it's that much better

[@rowanplaysbass]

Dude I love Amity. Their songs have really helped me through hard times. Love to see more of them from you

[@ericmcarthur173]

Need to react to “soak me in bleach” by them next.

[@ricangle]

hell yeah brother

[@jaketheboy1539]

Fun fact: My s/o and I named our son after the bassist of The Amity Affliction (Ahren)

[@micahsonne3761]

The Amity Affliction is one of the few bands that has actually made me break down into tears. I feel its the same for most of their fan-base. Alex, please listen to their cover of "born to die" its one of the most visceral songs ever.

[@Werewolf914]

I put this band off for a long time because I'm not really into Metalcore it's my least favorite subgenre with the exception of Killswitch Engage and Ice Nine Kills but for the most part Metalcore usually sounds kind of cross between Generic boring music and a Boy Band trying to sound Metal by screaming, so not my subgenre, but they're my Brother In Laws favorite band and he couldn't find anyone to go see them live next year, so I decided to listen to them and was very surprised they're awesome the lyrics are all very relatable, vocals are solid, instrumentally it's good, probably not my favorite band but really good, and now I'll be seeing them live I think in March.

[@DizzyMan24]

"All I Do is Sink" is one of my favorites of theirs.

[@joshuacalloway4637]

What separates good music from great music, is the ability to connect to the listener. Same with movies, comics, etc. What we are hearing, and feeling, is the literal connection that this song is forming with us. And that tie happens to me with every listen, when I FEEL “I turn my back and fuck it up!”.

[@bluejay96._.95]

One of my favorite songs by TAA in concert, one of their best songs live🤘

[@xDarkTrinityx]

Was an instant add to my playlist when I first heard it too. Love their voices together.

[@Joeydxn97]

Such an underrated band I wish the “Feels like I’m dying” video wasn’t cut up into a 10 minute film because it’s such a banger and you should hear it

[@Pandamonium626]

Notable AA bangers: "Death's Hand" "All My Friends Are Dead" "Soak Me In Bleach"

[@yonyyarshall3734]

The amity affliction is my favorite metalcore band. Death's hand, Forever are amazing songs too. Another amazing group is The Plot In you - FACE ME

[@ManicMama.]

That chorus still blows me away. It's so beautiful. I listen to this song every morning on the way to take my kids to school

[@Santi21R]

Yeeeeeeeees!!! Amity is one of my favorite bands, they're lyrics are amazing.

[@yannisgerstner3172]

Oh my god finally I’ve been waiting so long for this one

[@matesvrbka4784]

yes!!

[@luciferMorningstar666_____]

The Amity Affliction is not a band it's our hidden dark emotions as songs ❤️ love them

[@msblackdahlia3091]

Eek, so happy you finally circled back around to TAA🖤. They’re GUARANTEED to take you on a feel trip with their lyrics. “Deaths hand” will forever be the one that gets me the most. Worth checking out 🙌🏼

[@mars0350]

Omg I felt the same thing when I first heard it. I listen to it literally everyday no joke I love it

[@shaywallace96]

Chasing ghosts was and will be their best album, everyone loves you… once you leave them is 2nd in my opinion

[@heisenbergblue2446]

Let the ocean take me, chasing ghosts, everyone loves you when your gone for me.

[@MrGu1tarMan]

For me it has to be Youngbloods. Call me an old head. But I remember going to old pub shows with people hanging from the lighting rigs on that tour 🤟

[@TheUPBaller]

Fantastic song. I was actually surprised to see this title pop up on my homepage today

[@justinkerr5788]

Soooo worth a deep dive of their music. They speak so beautifully to the pain so many hide

[@jazysinger]

The Amity Affliction is one of my all time favorite bands, the lead singers voice is something that just hits me in a different way. It’s pure magic, this is one of those bands that just gets you super hyped.

[@billyanthony6991]

I can’t find a single reaction video or live video of “The Gifthorse” shits underrated

[@GuitarHeroAddict92]

They have so many great song, a lot with these ""depressing" lyrics, but i really love them. Great for a night of screaming after a bad day. Love to see you react to more of them :D

[@jackandcoffee1145]

Check out 'Ghost' by Imminence. It's their newest single and it's amazing! Also 'From Can to Can't' by Corey Taylor, Dave Grohl, Rick Neilson and Scott Reeder. It's an 'exquisite' song that I haven't seen any major channel react to yet.

[@ps4masterrace508]

Shine On is another great song by them, and the music video that goes with it is great too!

[@chloestarshine]

I love this song and this band so much. The way their different voices work together is just amazing. I love how often they reference water and drowning in songs, it's sort of a signature theme for them.

[@keithgregory2800]

Great Aussie band love them . Love listening to them when driving in the truck so GOOOOOOOD

[@societylabeledme]

Please check out Oh Sleeper-"Hush Yael" it's written about a tragic true story and it'll blow you away!!!

[@jonnyhollis8523]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Great shout! Super underrated band too, latest album is incredible and hear nothing about it…

[@shawnannul]

I listened to this song THOUSANDS of times when it came out!

[@JavinJessop]

Just heard them live, was amazing 🤘

[@lancelot.anywhere4893]

I came across this band through a hard time In life when I just had enough. They kept me going and totally love them🤟🏻 You hit a nerve the Chester😢 so true man RIP.

[@johnnydreacts]

They just released a new song and music video, it's called "Like Love", another song with a very heavy message.

[@mbuzard46]

The backup vocalist has an angelic falsetto. I passed on this band for exactly what you touched on about the lead singer being generic. That secondary vocalist sold it for me though. This song actually made my playlist.

[@UnForgivenFury]

Yes more The Amity Affliction!

[@mrbiggzy9578]

Amity are hands down a powerful band all there songs hold deep and meaningful lyrics that hit home to many, many people and at times has happened to them IRL. Best Band for me hands down.

[@MrShawntoledo]

New to this band, but I love what I've heard so far

[@dummyquiccc9695]

Kick rocks is another banger. This band is literally my all time favorite lol

[@keriannakeyonnie538]

This band will forever hold a place in my Heart 🤘🏻🖤🔥

[@sawdonegan]

Joel just recently started using clean vocals he's always been a screamer. He's still finding his voice I think but it's pretty fantastic as it is at this point.

[@testingmyaudioaddiction3452]

He actually said that he is going make it a one album thing. He wants Ahren to be center on that because Ahren has the voice of an angel.

[@sawdonegan]

@@testingmyaudioaddiction3452 I couldn't agree more! Ahren really does have the voice of an angel! He is by far my favorite clean vocalist in any of the metal or core genres. Tied with Howard Jones of course.

[@ExO66-ken]

I always thought Joel looked like Link from Good Mythical Morning

[@brandonlytle9392]

Yeah The Amity affliction is such an amazing band!

[@tjmoore428]

They have so many amazing songs

[@Enkelriktad123]

This masterpiece and creation of a song has been my #1 song played on Spotify. From my yearly recap and two years in a row, im not surprised at all. Its just so perfect when you can understand and relate to the lyrics.

[@Deadmanjoey21]

saw them live in Hull, England, So good live too, the cleans are amazing.

[@R2D289]

Seen these guys live and they where very good on stage it was pretty awesome

[@magenbea4008]

I got obsessed with this song too and now it's my 5 year old daughters favorite song lol

[@townhero2273]

Gotta have more Amity reactions! Please, and thanks!

[@heikkisaukkonen5813]

You should react to Misery trilogy (Ivy, Feels like im dying and D.I.E)

[@stephonmarsh]

All their stuff is amazing

[@briandaniels8945]

I found drag the lake and set me free same day idk how I never listened to these guys before, soak me in bleach was amazing too for there later music

[@AvEnGeD7X238]

Everytime I show this song to someone. They sing the chorus the second time around😂😂 so catchy

[@flawedlife5013]

Should have been there at House of Blues Houston 2019. Badass show!!!!!

[@IamCocoW]

Everything about amity is just so perfect been listening to them for 9 years and don’t plan on stopping

[@iinantekoa]

I must thank you Alex for doing the first reaction of The Amity Affliction. I’ve been battling with depression since I was 13. This band became my most listened in 2020 on Spotify in only 4 months. It has helped me on my very darkest times. Without you Alex, I doubt that I would have never found this band. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@Sara-rm7rz]

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I’ve been requesting this song FOREVER!!!😭😭😭

[@stevenreid943]

[@Roggan47]

[@chadwolfe9215]

Dude this song has been one of my top gym playlists for years along with i bring the weather with me. They’re extra solid to me because I actually heard them for the first time live at a festival and they were so good live I was like “I need to check out the studio versions”

[@mandicl1937]

Yay love them!

[@chrisseeley1868]

Such a good song..love your reaction to this!

[@nate0093]

[@allisonhill3233]

[@Kartunga]

They are fantastic , i love their lyrics so much

[@nicholasschliesman9011]

definitely gotta check out their songs All Fucked Up, and Kick Rocks. As well as their new song Like Love!!

[@potatogod8115]

I was waiting for this

[@bigjmusicgaming8217]

Oh man. It so good to hear this song again. Let's be honest. This song and Pittsburgh are my personal favorite. Only I'm waiting is for Alex to react to All F Up from this band.

[@dakotahook4418]

They made a trilogy of videos that make up a short film with songs on this album, Ivy (Doomsday), Feels Like I’m Dying, and D.I.E.. Would absolutely love to see your reaction to the videos as well as the music!!

[@chris4181]

so proud to e a aussie . what a awesome group to represent australia

[@IshiTibGuy]

You have got to cover them more! They have a new single dropping on September 14!!

[@uvdloriaksandgreen8533]

My favorite song for 2020 ❤️

[@Enkelriktad123]

When you named Chester i started crying directly like i couldnt hold those tears in at all man.. just think about this people. In the song from Linkin Park's Crawling which came out a loooooong time ago, even then Chester sings "these wounds, they will not heal". Just imagine his depression and inner sadness etc. Crazy strong is he for how he could hold up for soo long. Ops kinda long text here but i had to write me off a bit.. take care yall and stay self strong i believe in you!

[@PsnAssassinHD]

My favourite track by them

[@KingVibe]

One of my favorite tracks by them such a hard hitting chorus

[@Andrew_-nr7zt]

This song got me through so many hard times with my mental health

[@TylerWorkmon]

I swear Alex is following one of my personal playlists lmao he reacts to songs that I start binging

[@JoeyD82288]

This Bondi St Blues and Snicklefritz are my favorite Amity songs
