Underoath is one of my favourite metalcore screamo bands from the States. The band features so many amazing emotionally driven tracks, with not only heart stopping vocals and groundbreaking band presence,but with the stark realism embedded within their lyrics.
Underoath first formed in 1997 by lead vocalist Dallas Taylor, as a Christian band. Although the band is tagged Christian, they are different, as many of their songs and lyrics do not feature biblical references. With Dallas, the band went on to release three albums, Act of Depression, Cries of the Past, and The Changing of Times. Dallas Taylor then left the band, which was then followed by lead vocalist Spencer Chamberlain. The band then went onto release They're Only Chasing Safety featuring my favrouite songs Reinventing Your Exit and Im Content With Losing. The band then went on to record and release their fifth album Define the Great Line. These albums were certified gold leading to a 2007 Grammy nomination. The band then went on to release two more albums Lost in the Sound of Separation and Disambiguation, leading to another Grammy nomination in 2010. Their fourth album was my favourite as it came out while I was in highschool and it really helped me deal with a lot of things that were going on in my life. When I listen to some songs from the band, my eyes fill up, not with saddness, but with memories of the past, and I love them even more. Heres a song from their latest album Disambiguation, hope you enjoy! Post your comments!Peace &Love Babes!
