Underoath - Erase Me (April 6, 2018) Album • Page 25

It became less prevelant with every album after They're Only Chasing Safety. But take a look at the lyrics for Some Will Seek Forgiveness. https://genius.com/6737491

 

Yikes.

 

Or go further back to Spirit of A Living God...

Underoath Lyrics - Spirit Of A Living God

 

They used to announce at every show that they were doing this in name of Jesus Christ.

 

Yeah Spencer has a speech about it in their set for the Survive Kaleidoscope DVD. The full set is on youtube if you wanna watch it

 

I also think it’s important to keep in mind that the Christian angle definitely became less prominent in their actual music gradually in the albums after They’re Only Chasing Safety, and by the time Aaron left before Disambiguation it was essentially nonexistent.

 

More importantly imo, this band has so much more to offer than just Christian preachiness, definitely would be a shame for someone to not give them a chance because of their religious influences.

 

Burden in your hands has some pretty unfortunate lyrics as well

 

I dont view overt religiousness as a negative thing in music, and would definitely not consider Underoath to be preachy. I think writing about religion can be a vessel to explore deep concepts like depression, self-salvation, pride, shame, and love. Like with ACB, the older lyrics mostly deal with Spencer or Aaron’s relationship to God/religion/themselves as they cope with unanswerable questions

 

They've announced a slew of US dates. Tour announcement in the next half hour.

 

VA/NC/DC area and I’m there

 

How are people not seeing they aren't a Christian band anymore

 

Same!

 

bummer after touring with caspian they've gone back to bad generic metalcore lineups

 

I don't know that song, is that pre TOCS? I basically consider that a completely different band with a few of the same members

 

who are they with?

 

Dance Gavin Dance was mentioned to me but I guess we’ll find out in 30

 

Underoath/dgd/veil of maya/limbs apparently according to someone in the rumors thread who saw it on live nation

 

a fb event popped up for a pa date

 

DGD is a great band

 

i didn't realize this was a happiness tour

oh wait it's not???

 

The last two albums are good

 

to me it's not the singer, it's actually jon mess's involvement, i haven't heard anything by the band i've liked that has his name on it

 

their new vocalist is their best yet

edit: i like mess but yeah i get not being into him

 

DGD is one of my favorite bands but I can understand why they’re not for everyone lol I just think their two vocal styles mix so incredibly well.
