Bad Omens withdraw from Senses Fail / The Amity Affliction tour

UPDATE (11/08/18 06:39 PM EST):

Hours after news broke that Bad Omens would no longer join Senses Fail and The Amity Affliction on their upcoming “Misery Will Find You” tour, the group has spoken out about their decision to leave.

Taking to social media, the metalcore outfit claims that “the terms of our deal to be the direct support act on this co-headline tour were negotiated prior to accepting the tour and they were not honored.”

Their post continues: “Our team politely and professionally asked it to be honored before the tour was announced and they refused. Specific assets requested were neither sent or approved. After all of this and the tour still going live we did our best to remedy the situation to stay involved and we were met with total disrespect. At this point it was a matter of principle. We aren’t going to be another young band that gets pushed around by older bands. Sorry if that doesn’t work for you. This public shaming campaign the bands have created online is both ironic and symbolic to the situation, as well as confirmation we made the right choice by leaving this tour.”

It definitely looks like misery found its way to one band on the upcoming Senses Fail / The Amity Affliction tour.

A day after announcing plans to hit the touring circuit during the months of January and February, Senses Fail have just announced a change to the previously unveiled tour roster. On Thursday (Nov. 8), the New Jersey-founded band revealed that supporting act Bad Omens would no longer be on the forthcoming tour. According a statement from Senses Fail, Bad Omens decided to drop from the excursion due to the “size of their name on the artwork.”

“We have to let you know that Bad Omens have pulled out of this tour. They were unhappy about the size of their name on the artwork and felt the need to pull out the day after we announced the tour,” the band’s post on social media reads.

They continue: “The Amity Affliction and Senses Fail are working hard to find a replacement and we look forward to sharing that with you as soon as possible.”

At the time of publication, Bad Omen have yet to respond to Senses Fail’s letter to fans concerning their rash departure.

The “Misery Will Find You” tour is slated to begin on Jan. 4 at the House of Blues in Anaheim and conclude a month or so later on Feb. 9 at the Regent in Los Angeles. The co-headlining tour includes stops in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Orlando, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Seattle, and Sacramento.

Tickets for the shows are currently available.

The Amity Affliction announce new album with cinematic music video

The Amity Affliction will be armed with a brand new set of tunes this summer when they embark on the final Vans Warped Tour. On Wednesday (June 20), the Australian band announced the release of their sixth studio album. Titled Misery, the new record is due out Aug. 24 through Roadrunner Records. The album was recorded earlier this year in Baltimore with super-producer Matt Squire.

In conjunction with the new album announcement, the band also released the cinematic music video for the record’s lead single, “Ivy (Doomsday).” According to the trio, the newly released music video is  part one of a three-part short film. The clip which was written and co-directed by vocalist Joel Birch, stars the guys as three friends getting vengeance. Watch the almost-eight-minute clip above.

Pre-orders for Misery are currently available on the Amity Affliction’s website. The band is currently offering several pre-order bundles as well as the option to pre-save the new record on DSPs.

Misery is the follow-up to 2016’s This Could Be Heartbreak.
