The Amity Affliction
On September 28, 2026, The Amity Affliction brought their House Of Cards EU 2026 tour to Berlin's Metropol. With crushing breakdowns, huge choruses and a crowd fully locked into every moment, the night carried the raw emotional weight that defines the band.
The Metropol became the setting for a focused and powerful post hardcore performance: intimate, loud and built on contrasts between darkness, melody and cathartic release. This gallery captures the moments when stage and audience became one for the length of a song.

About the band The Amity Affliction
The Amity Affliction have been one of the defining names in Australian post hardcore since the early 2000s. Formed in 2003 in Gympie, Queensland, the band built its identity around heavy guitars, hardcore intensity and memorable melodic hooks. Their lyrics often confront loss, mental health, addiction and survival with unusual openness, creating a connection with listeners that goes far beyond the usual concert experience.
Records including Youngbloods, Chasing Ghosts, Let the Ocean Take Me and This Could Be Heartbreak helped establish The Amity Affliction as an international force. Tracks such as Pittsburgh, Chasing Ghosts, I Bring the Weather With Me and Soak Me in Bleach capture their formula at its strongest: explosive heavy sections meeting choruses made for thousands of voices.
From a concert photographer's perspective, a The Amity Affliction show thrives on contrast. Intense vocals, shifting light, physical movement and the visible bond between band and crowd create images with real tension. Their live sets are not only heavy and high energy, but also deeply direct and personal.
