The Amity Affliction have delved deep into vocalist Joel Birch’s personal experiences with single All That I Remember.
Joel said: “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.”
His brother Beau said: “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.”
Whilst sister Chantel added: “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.”
The track is also the first from The Amity Affliction to feature new clean vocalist Jonny Reeves.
