Ocala, Florida (1997 – present)

Underoath (occasionally typeset as underOATH or UNDERØATH) is an American band originally formed on November 30, 1997 in Ocala, Florida, but since then, have re-located to Tampa, Florida, which was home to some of their newer members. The band’s line-up consists entirely of Christian members. They are currently signed with Solid State Records, a subsidiary of Tooth and Nail Records, and are the label’s most popular group.

After several line-up changes, Underøath no longer has any of the original band members. During the band’s early years, when they were fronted by former vocalist Dallas Taylor, Underøath displayed a heavier style than their later, more well-known work, incorporating disparate influences from death and black metal. With Taylor, they released Act of Depression, Cries of the Past, and The Changing of Times. Following Taylor’s departure, Spencer Chamberlain became lead vocalist. The band then released They’re Only Chasing Safety and Define The Great Line, gaining a certified gold rating and the highest-charting Christian album on The Billboard 200 since 1997, respectively. These two albums have given them more mainstream and commercial success. They’re Only Chasing Safety marked an extreme departure from their earlier work, with extensive use of clean vocals and poppy rhythms, and a near-complete eradication of breakdowns and the use of double-bass. Define The Great Line reflected another shift in style, once again incorporating heavier styles into Underoath’s sound.

    What is there not to believe? They're writing songs about breaking free from a dictating force and so they're using imagery from a popular conspiracy theory to further illustrate that concept. Not that hard to grasp.

    Never noticed the Illuminati stuff behind this band until today. I can't believe it.

    LITSOS is their best imo. took a few years to realize it, though.

    Define the Great line is okay. But there is definitely better songwriting in TOCS. Just because it's poppier doesn't make it less than something heavier. It usually makes it better.

    They're Only Chasing Safety is a fun nostalgia record, good for easy listening and for some pop-punky hooks. But by no stretch of the imagination is it even close to their last three albums in terms of quality. I'm sorry but this is one band where the "old stuff is better!" thing just doesn't remotely apply. New stuff ftw.
