The Amulet is the sixth studio album by American rock band Circa Survive, released on September 22, 2017. The Amulet is Circa Survive's first album released through Hopeless Records, after departing their previous label, Sumerian Records. 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. The band announced The Amulet on July 10, 2017, and the album announcement was accompanied by the first single and music video, "Lustration." 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. The title track was released on August 30, accompanied by a video shot at a fireworks convention in Fargo, North Dakota. 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."
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.
