"Underoath is a 6-piece metalcore band from Tampa, Florida and is currently signed to Tooth & Nail. Their latest release, Define The Great Line, released on June 20th, sold nearly 100,000 copies its first week, an incredible number for a band in their genre.
History
When Underoath was formed in 1998, some might argue that their sound was on the borderline of what's been familiarized as screamo., although others would argue that their sound was more closely related to metal. Their former sound was very brutal and featured a lot of double-kick drumming and intense breakdowns. Their first two releases, Act of Depression (1999) and Cries of the Past (2000), showcased the band's sound. The albums featured songs with lengths of six or seven minutes, sometimes longer. Prior to the release of Cries of the Past, keyboardist Chris Dudley joined the band.
However, after the release of Cries of the Past, guitarist Corey Steger left the band. He, along with then-vocalist Dallas Taylor, are credited with giving the band its signature and principle sound. The remaining band members went on to record their first Solid State Records-released album, The Changing of Times. Released on February 26, 2002, the album produced one single, "When the Sun Sleeps." Long-time fans of the band criticized them of losing their touch with The Changing of Times, as it seemed to fall into the screamo genre.
Following the release of the album, the band joined the Vans Warped Tour in 2003 and, during a slew of dates, the band had a falling-out with Dallas Taylor and asked him to leave due to personal conflicts within the band. The band dropped off of the remaining dates of the tour. However, at the CMJ Fest in New York City in October, Underoath proved its naysayers wrong when vocalist Spencer Chamberlain of the metal band This Runs Through took the mic and made the role all his own.
During the early months of 2004, the band hit the studio to record their first album with Spencer Chamberlain and their second record for Solid State Records. They're Only Chasing Safety has been the band's most commercially-successful record to date, producing two singles in "Reinventing Your Exit" and "It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door." The album has outsold Underoath's previous three albums put together (mostly because there have only been 2,000 copies of Act of Depression and 3,000 copies of Cries of the Past). "Reinventing Your Exit" defined the band as becoming soft and trying to appeal to todays fans, which made old fans angry because they felt the band was playing a different style of music in order to fit in.
Following the release of the album, the band played a number of Warped Tour dates. Then, in the Spring of 2004, the band was asked to participate on the inaugural Taste of Chaos tour. Touring alongside The Used, My Chemical Romance, Killswitch Engage, Senses Fail and A Static Lullaby, the band made its name well-known. Shortly after the tour, the band embarked on its first headlining tour with The Chariot, Fear Before the March of Flames and These Arms Are Snakes. The band premiered two brand-new songs during the length of the tour. They also played several dates on Warped Tour. They declined to play the entire tour because they wanted to take time to record new songs.
In October 2005, They're Only Chasing Safety was re-released with four rare songs, new artwork and a DVD with over two hours' worth of footage of the band touring in support of the album. The band entered the studio in January 2006 to record its third album for Solid State Records and its second album with Spencer Chamberlain. An interesting fact about the record is that Chamberlain noted that the vocals will sound less like Dallas Taylor-imitating vocals and more like the vocals of his old band, This Runs Through. The album, titled Define the Great Line, was released on June 20, 2006. Then they started touring on the Vans Warped Tour but after a month or so they dropped out. Most people (including other bands at the Warped Tour) Said they left because, the other bands were making fun of them and harrasing them. But the band said it was because they had to work on there "friendship" either way they dropped out. " -Last.fm

UNDEROATH
Very rarely does a monumental record find itself matched with the promise of commercial success. But the strength, intensity and explosive lure of “Define The Great Line” Underoath’s follow up to its over 350,000 selling 2004 breakthrough They’re Only Chasing Safety--is undeniable. “We went into the studio wanting to make this record count,” says guitarist Tim McTague. “We wanted to make it life-changing for the people who heard it. We knew it had the potential to do well, but we weren’t basing our future on that. We feel we’ve written the best album that any of us will probably ever be a part of and above all else, we’re super proud of...UNDEROATH “Demand it!” Widget
