The Amity Affliction have announced details for their new album, which will be called Chasing Ghosts.

The follow-up to their international break-out Youngbloods, the Brisbane post-hardcore outfit will release the record - their first through Roadrunner - Friday 14 September.

Recording with Michael 'Elvis' Baskette mfrontman Joel Birch said, "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."

He added, "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.

“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."
