The Amulet is the sixth studio album by American rock band Circa Survive, released on September 22, 2017. [5] The Amulet is Circa Survive's first album released through Hopeless Records, after departing their previous label, Sumerian Records. [6] As with previous Circa Survive albums, Esao Andrews created the album artwork.
In a September 2016 Reddit AMA, Anthony Green announced that a new Circa Survive album would be forthcoming. [7] The band announced The Amulet on July 10, 2017, and the album announcement was accompanied by the first single and music video, "Lustration." [8] The next month, they released "Rites of Investiture," with a music video made from a 1994 short film directed by Green's cousin Jonathan Michaels. [9] The title track was released on August 30, accompanied by a video shot at a fireworks convention in Fargo, North Dakota. [10] The last single before the album's release, "Premonition of the Hex," debuted on September 14, with a video directed by Josh Call. The video, which depicts a cult, was meant to "showcase the dangers of fundamentalism and extremism." [11]
The band announced a co-headlining tour with Thrice, accompanied by Balance and Composure and Chon, across North America beginning in San Jose on November 2, 2017. [12]

The band found success with their original material as well, with the singles "Breaking Down" and "Hurricane" performing well on rock radio, the single "Bow Down" being nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2019, and Trauma being nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album the same year.
Tidal Wave is the seventh studio album by American rock band Taking Back Sunday. During the touring cycle for Happiness Is (2014), the group worked on material for their next record. Following a holiday show in late 2015, guitarist John Nolan was expecting his second child and wished to be nearby. As a result, vocalist Adam Lazzara was informed by engineer Mike Pepe of a studio close by that he worked at, Sioux Sioux Studio in Charlotte, North Carolina. With the members living between Lazzara and Nolan's houses, they persuaded producer Mike Sapone to join them. In January 2016, the group were writing at the studio, and by March, they started recording. One change the group experienced was the ability to track every instrument, and subsequently listen to it back. This enabled the group to listen to the proceedings objectively, rather than talking solely about a single part.
