A Florida band that shaped metalcore with raw aggression and melodic turns.
For a sense of their range, 'In Regards To Myself' has that early aggression, while 'Ihateit' from the comeback era feels more polished but just as direct.
Underoath's 2004 album 'They're Only Chasing Safety' pushed metalcore into wider conversations, especially around its religious themes. Songs like 'A Boy Brushed Red. Living In Black And White' balanced heavy instrumentation with melody in a way that felt urgent. Their catalog, from 'Acts of Depression' to 'Voyeurist,' shows a band that kept evolving without losing its intensity.
They started in Tampa in 1998 with a raw sound on 'Acts of Depression.' After 'They're Only Chasing Safety' brought more attention, albums like 'Define the Great Line' and 'Lost in the Sound of Separation' got more experimental. A hiatus in 2013 led to a return with 'Erase Me' in 2016 and later work like 'Voyeurist.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
