There’s absolutely no denying it: on August 17, 2015, Underoath fans lost it when the band announced that they would be returning, after tweeting out “We have been Underoath,” only several years ago after their final show concluded. Whether this reunion is long term or just a nostalgia run is uncertain, but one thing is for sure: we have one of the defining outfits of the metalcore genre taking the stage across America right now, and we get to witness them perform two albums that helped solidify their place among the genre’s legendary acts, They’re Only Chasing Safety and Define The Great Line, even if it’s for just one last time. Join us as we take a brief look back at the history and discography of Underoath.
Below are my favorite albums of the year; hopefully my list encourages some of you to check out something that you might've overlooked, and you enjoy it. If you'd like, you can follow me on twitter here. If you decide to buy something on this list and do it through iTunes - a tiny percent goes back to me; thanks!
Underoath will be playing Define The Great Line and They're Only Chasing Safety in their entirety for their 10th and 12th anniversaries respectively on their upcoming Rebirth tour. The band will be touring North America in March/April, playing the albums front to back along with greatest hits. They'll also be playing Self Help Fest with A Day to Remember and So What Music Festival. We originally broke this story at the beginning of the month. View the announcement and dates below.
Wake up, wake up, this is not a test. After a series of cryptic posts on social media about Rebirth, the wait is finally over. Like we confirmed at the beginning of the month, Underoath have confirmed that they are officially back together after a two-plus year hiatus. We know some of our audience viewed Kill The Music with major doubt following our news a few weeks ago, but we thank you all for sticking with us. Can you feel your heartbeat racing? Check out a message from the band below by clicking “Read More."
Our source has exclusively revealed to us that Underoath will be reuniting for a tour in 2016. Define The Great Line turns ten next year and They’re Only Chasing Safety turned ten last year. What a coincidence!
The mighty Underoath have come and gone. When they were active, they were regarded as a dominating force in the Christian metal/secular world. A lot of bands nowadays should be paying royalties to them. While originally starting off as a generic, preachy, (it would make For Today look tame) black metal band, the arrival of Spencer Chamberlain changed the band’s sound for the better.
I’ll admit it was a bit hard compiling their best songs, considering their extensive catalog. comment with any songs you’re surprised aren’t on the list.
10. When The Sun Sleeps (The Changing of Times - 2002)
The only album with Dallas Taylor on vocals that I can really handle. The video is actually good for being their first one ever.
9. Emergency Broadcast: The End Is Near (Lost in the Sound of Separation - 2008)
Heavy, but slower than their normal songs. Fun fact, Aaron double tracked this on the drums with Daniel Davison who would later end up replacing him
8. In Regards to Myself (Define the Great Line - 2008)
When you hear cinema projector and the opening riff of this song, you know you’re about to hear something great.
7. Unsound (Anthology 1999-2013)
Before they broke up; Underoath went back in the studio and recorded two new songs for their greatest hits CD. Spencer sounds a lot like Anthony Green in this song (albeit a bit lower pitched) particularly Circa Surive’s song Through The Desert Alone.
6. The Only Survivor Was Miraculously Unharmed (Lost in the Sound of Separation - 2008)
Starts off intense and doesn’t stop.
5. A Boy Brushed Red… Living in Black and White (They’re Only Chasing Safety - 2004)
The 2nd track on their debut with Spencer Chamberlain. He would later change his vocal style on the next record.
4. Paper Lung (Ø (disambiguation - 2010)
One of the few songs besides “Too Bright to See, Too Loud to Hear” that features singing for a majority of the song. Only this time, Spencer is doing double duty after the departure of Aaron.
3. Desperate Times, Desperate Measures (Lost in the Sound of Separation - 2008)
This a great song to see live (on Youtube now anyway).
2. Writing On The Walls (Define the Great Line - 2008)
DTGL would be a turning point for the band; the record debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200
1. It’s Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door (They’re Only Chasing Safety - 2004)
The song that got me hooked on Underoath. It sounded different from anything I heard at the time.
