Let the Ocean Take Me is the fourth studio album by Australian metalcore band The Amity Affliction. It was released on 6 June 2014 in Australia,[1] 9 June 2014 in the UK and 10 June 2014 in the US[3] through Roadrunner Records. It is their first record to feature new guitarist Dan Brown following Imran Siddiqi's departure shortly before their previous album release (August 2012). Both the singles preceding the album, "Pittsburgh" and "Don't Lean On Me" peaked inside the top 40 of the ARIA Singles Chart. The album debuted at number 1 on the ARIA Charts, being their second consecutive album to do so, following 2012's Chasing Ghosts. Let the Ocean Take Me was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association for over 35,000 shipments sold just two weeks after its release in Australia. The album also sold 10,000 copies within its first week in the US, charting at number 31 on the Billboard 200.
On June 6-8 off the Australian release, Amity conducted in-store album signings in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne in support.[4] The band shortly announced a five-date Australian tour, fifteen-date American tour and a twenty-three date European leg.
Music videos for "The Weigh Down" and "Death's Hand" were produced to promote the album, but were not released as singles.
This was the last record with founding lead guitarist, Troy Brady.
