Underoath - On My Teeth

With eight years having passed since we last heard new music from Underøath, that near decade-length absence weighed heavily upon music lovers’ hearts. When you consider all of the bands that formed using their idiosyncratic power and texture as blueprints (and then hearing those pretenders fail anyway), you can clearly see the hole Underøath left behind. Whatever real-life worries, psychic baggage or other concerns plagued Spencer Chamberlain, Aaron Gillespie, Tim McTague, Chris Dudley, Grant Brandell and James Smith at the time of their 2013 farewell tour, Underøath’s collective consciousness has been fortified by a renewed commitment to their art.

On their Fearless Records debut Erase Me, Underøath have added another crucial chapter to their formidable legacy. When the band went in the studio in the summer of 2017 to record their sixth album with producer Matt Squire (Panic! At The Disco, 3OH!3), and Ken Andrews (co-founder of acclaimed LA outfit Failure), they knew exactly what they wanted to do as well as what they needed to do. Having already established themselves both as melodic songwriters (2004’s RIAA-Certified Gold record They’re Only Chasing Safety) and as ambitious power merchants (2006’s stentorian, gold-selling Define The Great Line and its majestic follow-up, 2008’s Lost In The Sound Of Separation), the evolution detailed on Erase Me finds them using the sonic dialects they’ve crafted to reveal where they are now. Clearly, Erase Me is the apex where melodic heft, indefatigable power, spatial resonance and arcane electronic textures converge to reveal a band that’s positively fearless. The band who once openly--and without apology--professed their faith-based worldview onstage nightly, have since moved beyond the realm of seemingly impenetrable polemics. At various junctures, Erase Me illustrates those moments of sanctuary, anxiety, betrayal and conflict that inevitably arise when humanity grapples with belief systems. Even with a comeback title seemingly marinating in self-fulfilling prophecy, nobody in their right mind would dare delete Underøath’s measurable contribution to the advancement of post-hardcore and heavy rock. The only thing you need to erase is your patience with their pretenders. Accept no substitutes and your culture won’t feel destitute. It’s great to have Underøath back—especially on their terms.

Bleed from Within - Afterlife

Digging with my hands till they bleed on the open road

A path to self destruction

Just a passionate degenerate with shattered glass for eyes...

Easy to forget the mistakes I made 

A weakness of mind that the nectar revives

Giving me the confidence

Bring me to life, to smite my kind

A belligerent fool with a death wish

Running with the chance of a moment past

Forget the sentence, hang me now

No one can save us, we’ll find a way

Turn the page, let me hear you say

Repent, It’s a revolution

Believe in me

The world I’ve seen is filled with greed

They say there’s nothing in the after life

Repent, It’s a revolution

To set me free

The world I’ve seen is not for me

No, there is glory in the after life

No fucking sympathy

The promise of a new beginning surrounded me

I threw my body in the river

Then the sinner within me watched it drown

This time I’ve crossed the line

Self destructive, in decline

My words were not my vow

I need actions, I need them now

In hell all saints will sin 

Patience is wearing thin

Each day we live in doubt

We need actions, we need them now

This time I’ve crossed the line

Self destructive, in decline

My words were not my vow

We need actions, we need them now

Parkway Drive - Wishing Wells

I spoke a vow today and asked if god would come and play

I’ve dug a shallow hole for him to sleep

But I swear he just won’t answer me

I call on out is he afraid, I’ll bury him down with the ones he keeps

And if the devil’s listening, I’ll come for him as well

If I suspect he had a hand to play

And if I see his face in town, there’s room for two down underground

Nothing’s gonna stop me ‘til I’m done

Until I’m done

Because tonight I’m killing gods

It’s guilt and frustration, it’s everything between

The silence and the absence hitting home

Peripheral glances and the chasing of a sound

I never knew I’d miss until it’s gone

So ask me how I’m coping

And I’ll smile and tell you “I’m just fine”

While down inside I’m drowning in the fucking rain

Because when everything is empty

And your heart is set to cave

Sometimes all you wish for is a place

Is a place to place the blame

Burn your heaven

Flood your hell

Drown you in your wishing wells

Burn your heaven

Flood your hell

Damn you all

Because tonight I’m killing gods

The incendiary shock wave, scorched earth policy

The devastation that only loss will leave

The chants and incantations of daily rituals

A subtle lapse in brutal honesty

So ask me how I’m coping

And I’ll smile and tell you “I’m just fine”

While down inside I’m screaming ‘tiI I fucking bleed

Because when everyone’s expendable

And your heart can’t take the wait

The last thing that you wish for is the face

Is the face to face the pain

Burn your heaven

Flood your hell 

Drown you in your wishing wells

Burn your heaven

Flood your hell

Damn you all

Because tonight I’m killing gods

I spoke a vow today and asked if god would come and play

Because I just want to cut that fucker down

Face me 

None survive

The devil and god have died inside me
