It’s been eight years since Underøath released 2010’s Ø (Disambiguation). The wait is finally over and these Tampa, FL metallers have announced the release of their long-overdue forthcoming album. On April 6th, the group’s latest effort Erase Me will arrive via Fearless Records. Today (22nd), the group premiered their first single in nearly a decade with “On My Teeth.”
Drummer/vocalist Aaron Gillespie explained:
“We’ve had success and we’ve come through a lot of waters. There’s been 11,000 things we’ve been through so you would think, almost rhetorically, ‘What do you need now?’ All of us are finally in that place in our lives where the only thing we care about is inclusion for everybody-for the world. For me, exclusion is the scariest thing in the world. And I think Underøath coming back now with a new record-which none of us thought was possible-we want people to know that this is your music and you can feel however the fuck you want about it. I just want to prove that we are doing everything in the most honest way we ever have. This is the healthiest we’ve ever been as a group of people, as musicians, and in our worldview.”
Vocalist Spencer Chamberlain added:
“We took a step away and then we realized that we are a family. We do miss it and we miss each other. We made the decision to never play again as Underoath and then we let that sit a couple of years. Band members rebuilt themselves and their friendships–and then we rebuilt the band.”
