Biography

Edit

Underoath is an American Christian metalcore band formed in 1998. The current members are Spencer Chamberlain, Daniel Davison, Timothy McTague, Grant Brandell, Christopher Dudley and James Smith though the line-up has altered over the years since their inception. After the departure of drummer Aaron Gillespie, none of the original members remain.

The band was signed to Takehold Records in 1999 and released their debut EP Act of Depression later the same year. Cries of the Past followed in 2000 and a small core of fans formed around their evolving sound.

The Changing of Times was released in 2002 and found their sound becoming a little more mainstream and accessible. They're Only Chasing Safety was the breakthrough album, a more mainstream sound with less screaming led to airplay by MTV2 and the singles "Reinventing Your Exit" and "It's a Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door".

Define the Great Line (2006) entered the Billboard chart at No.2 and the band toured throughout Europe, Australia and Asia to support it during that year. It was during this time that Gillespie formed the alternative rock side project The Almost and released their debut album Southern Weather.

The band's 7th album (4th with lead vocalist Spencer Chamberlain) is set to be released in 2010.
