The Amity Affliction will head to the studio early 2012 to begin work on a follow-up to the award winning Youngbloods. Producer Machine (Lamb of God, Cobra Starship) will work the project.

This is the big break for the band. “Ever since I can remember in Amity we’ve been dreaming big: big tours, big shows, big crowds, but never in our wildest dreams did we ever think something this big would come around,” frontman Joel Birch said. “Signing to Roadrunner worldwide is almost beyond a dream come true, because there’s no way any of us would have ever dreamed of being able to achieve something this monumental.”

Prior to the new album, a ‘Youngbloods’ deluxe edition with bonus tracks and DVD will be released on September 30.
