Episode 1 - Damn Excuses and Production History - The Making of Underoath's Voyeurist

[@PurpleHays69]

Have to say(IMO), Voyeurist is the most badass fucking album I have heard in a while! Absolutely crushed it!

[@DCKryp]

That demo clip was heavy af! Give it to us now!!! Lol 38:27

[@brendenadamsmusic]

let’s go! been waiting for this since the first one dropped. this series is gonna be SOOOOO good, i can already tell. thank you for making it!

[@danielhellebuyck5199]

I was really hoping some studio footage, but love these series!

[@SweDownhill]

Honestly, Spencer and Aarons vocals lift each other up. I don't care who wrote the line, who sang the line or who sang the most during a song. The combined vocals is what makes it so damn good. Furthermore, you guys are amazingly good at allowing every single instrument to shine, both accompanied by others and by its own. Keep being awesome 😍😃

[@benjamin_esau]

Erase me was “a creative miss that needed to happen” Man, as a fan, that is the best description of that album that I’ve heard so far

[@bigtakeshi]

gotta wonder what Spencer thinks about that

[@joshuabaker67]

Voyurist is an incredible achievement. The live performance of the album blew me away and I’ve been listening to it nonstop all year. Just hearing them still playing brings tears to my eyes and encourages me to keep perfecting my own crafts. I couldn’t be happier for the band and I cant wait to see what comes next.

[@mtchnelson]

This effort that went into this series is INSANE. Thank you!

[@tsdiokno2]

That Now, Now record absolutely sounds amazing!

[@alienrace6665]

I would love to hear those soundcloud demos...

[@morganstone4645]

I can’t get enough of this!! Y’all are INCREDIBLE. I grew up listening. SO OBSESSED. Happy to be here on this journey with you guys. Keep it FUCKING going!!!

[@bengossler6193]

"Look at Thrice doing the alchemy index, this is Underoath doing that" fucking spot on. Also, another one of my favorites.

[@joshuabaker67]

The Alchemy Index is such a masterpiece.

[@DCKryp]

And dude! Digital ghost hit so harder and louder! Absolutely love it and hope they release that as a whole version!!

[@clorezca1994]

I am so proud of Underoath’s growth! This album is a banger! I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. It’s filled with so many emotions. Thank you for all the time and effort you guys put into it. By far my favorite dad band 🖤

[@Lu_Cidtrip]

As someone who attempts to make my own music, beats mainly, this video is amazing. I grew up listening to you guys. Hearing these talking points was just amazing. Thank you for all the music over the years.

[@soccerjockey]

Duuude how bout that Now Now shoutout 👏🏼 Threads is a fantastic album

[@johnnydi2203]

The honesty makes this interesting.

[@nathangrimley7329]

Yes, love the shout out to Now, Now! "Threads" is an incredible record

[@dinertoast1108]

Love this, but Breathing In a New Mentality isn't the heaviest UØ, in my opinion that would be A Divine Eradication

[@joshuabaker67]

EXACTLY! Damn good song!

[@Lu_Cidtrip]

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE REST OF THE EPISODES!!!!!

[@dissonantgrooves]

I totally noticed the ending of Pneumonia and how its just like Damn Excuses and have been wondering if it was intentional, even though i feel like i already knew it was, thats dope!! seriously one of my favorite bands of all time

[@DrummerEvan1]

anxiously waiting for episode 2!!

[@JoeLaFon3]

Love the mix on the LPs. Voyeurist is one of my favorite records to actually play and listen to. Perfect track list for each side too. Thanks Spee, Aaron & Chad

[@chadhowat3392]

Glad you like my mixes!

[@JoeLaFon3]

@@chadhowat3392 you're a gentleman thank you!

Thank you for this.

Love hearing Now, Now get their shine. Threads is a phenomenal record.

[@MinutemanMedic]

yeah I remember Threads

[@rolandgreco5850]

this series is giving me LIFE

[@JoeLaFon3]

I'm sure they'll focus on the other members in other episodes. If they're all like this then we got more great content coming

[@Th4tcher]

Completely could relate to Tim’s story about his reaction after reading the comments from their single release of “on my teeth” As a huge fan, I had goosebumps for days after they announced they were making music again. When I first heard their singles from Erase Me, I had those same thoughts, “Alright, this is sick, but i’m hoping the rest of the album has more in store for us”. I ultimately wasn’t blown away with Erase Me. I was still ecstatic that they were back but I was selfishly hoping for something different. I don’t want to be too critical of any work of art though, for I have never been in that process myself to know how hard it is. When approaching Voyeurist, I was honestly apprehensive. I knew I was going to support them by buying and listening to the album but I wasn’t sure what to expect. I kept thinking back to my overall verdict on Erase Me, and I hate to admit but I had my expectations low. They announced the digital ghost concert and I was even hesitant to get a ticket to that. Holy Shit am I ever so glad I did. That experience melted me. It was incredible. Each song kept providing a sound that I didn’t know I had been longing for. I listened/rewatched that concert 7-8 times while we had the 48 hour access to it. The music hit me so hard I started crying the 3rd song in during “I’m pretty sure I’m out of luck…” when Spencer breaks the song open and screams…then after wiping my tears away from crying like a baby I realized we had more than half of a mostly unheard album ahead us and was never more excited for new music in my life. I’ll shut up but last thing I’ll say - I’m with Matt, the Digital Ghost version of the album is remarkable and is also my favorite. You will be doing yourself a huge favor by taking the time to experience that.

[@stephanierevell4002]

We are so happy for you guys!

[@paniresykes33]

Thanks for everything

[@mwsoupy]

1:10:00 You underestimate your audience. When listening the record on day of release, that was one of the first things i picked up. Right as the last song ended i realized it was the start to the fist song, and the the first song played again, and i knew it was intentional.

[@alexanderlumberjack]

Emery narraration! Awesome

[@danutd94]

Tim “Quote Unquote” McTague

[@Bomatteini]

Ngl I kind of love hearing them bash on Erase Me so much 😅

[@chrissavage5298]

Weren't at least some of the members claiming it was their favorite album at the time? Lol. Maybe just Spencer, I can't remember.

[@eyedfish02]

Such a good series. Love it 👏

[@cliffordjeffrey8775]

YES ive been excited for more

[@Lu_Cidtrip]

the Glassjaw shoutout! I remember telling a friend how Ape Dos Mil blew me the fuck away and he was like yea I don't get it... we didn't talk much after that.

[@jgravey]

all i can keep thinking is why does it looks like it's 2am for Timmy but 11am for JJ

[@mikehancho7172]

how they just not gonna put matt is the guitarist of emery smh. lol great videoo yall!

[@LeeAndRhymz]

JJ is the unsung hero of UØ.

[@markd8406]

all the love for thrice is great!

[@alaskayoung3413]

It’s so crazy that they are so unhappy with it’s only chasing safety when it’s by far the most popular and well know album. Without that album I don’t think they would be as big as they are if it wasn’t for that album. That must be super hard for them to have people craving those songs when that’s what they don’t particularly want to play or make another album of. And I’ve been a fan since the very first album with the super heavy cries of the past stuff.

[@walkerkyle73]

Underoath should release digital ghost as a live album like they did with survive kaleidoscope or the live albums they released in 2020 and 2021.

[@kennethgamble5498]

I'm sure that in about 6 months it will. Architects did that and now they're slowly releasing it on platforms and it's only been a couple months

[@kieranmason6167]

KEEP IT RAW AND DIRTY LOVE YOU GUYS

[@paniresykes33]

Love you guys

[@polymakegames]

I just wanted my screamo back.

[@thealexis6647]

Heys guys. Do any of you know who made the video of “Too bright too see…”? I need to know what is that art style!

[@alexandermihailovich1507]

Please activate subtitles! it is easy!

[@kieranmason6167]

WE NEED AN UNDERGROUND SOUNDCLOUD ALBUM PLEASE

[@node-ks]

Wait wait wait Breathing in a new Mentality is heavier than everything on Disambiguation?? How?

[@Bearbox102]

Yeah I feel like a divine eradication is definitely their most heavy song

[@brendangibson8200]

Are the Matt Goldman demos out there anywhere? Would love to hear those compared to the album versions

[@cliffordjeffrey8775]

I wanna say there's some demo versions on the deluxe edition of the cd. i remember (goldman demo) next to song title. May just not be on spotify, but on the deluxe cd only.

[@simeonhuntsman6416]

Yep, they’re all on KZbin. Reinventing Your Exit, Dangerous Biz, and I’m Content with Losing.

[@StaterDrums]

Heck yea!

[@Schnorkjumps]

I wanna hear the soundcloud version now :)

[@DenisAshton]

It definitely felt like one of the most phenomenal albums in history in terms of sound, as well as artistic integrity and individuality. Raw, but also sonically pleasant

[@lostson5216]

Damn Matt looks like he needs some time outside his coffin.

[@JoeLaFon3]

I believe Voyeurist is an objectively better project than Erase Me. I like most of Erase Me but it wasn't a record for us. It was something else. And I understand evolution. Things change. Experiments happen. It's natural. I just felt odd when Spee said "this album needs to piss people off." Voyeurist doesn't piss me off and I love it for it and I guarantee you these new cuts will get alot more play from me.

[@summeronio9751]

Last time on DragonBallZ...

[@Arnoldceja1]

What's the restaurant he said they would go to? "Kings Dates"?

[@louistrevino6710]

How is it that JJ looks like a cross between Tim and Chris? 🧐

[@fast_mattw8059]

Love the truth coming out of the foh guy on erase me.

[@bryanbaez4412]

That record was the biggest disappointment of 2018

[@deanhickton3335]

Shame all the guys aren’t in it

[@jonathanlesher8740]

The power struggle in this band is so evident in these interviews. I don't see Underoath together in 5 years. Weird vibes across the board from every aspect of this record release and behind the scenes footage... disappointing really.

[@chrissavage5298]

That's the way its always been with them though. They claim they've been more transparent with each other (their blow up from episode 0, etc), but just because you vent doesn't mean you are healed from the way you process life. Love the dudes and Voyeurist is a solid album, but their egos are still there. They take themselves way too seriously. Based on what I've seen of this JJ dude though, he seems really down to earth. So that's probably why there's been progress internally during the creation of this album. Hopefully it gains momentum. Again, been a fan since Chasing Safety, and Voyeurist was great, not bashing them. Just my thoughts on the subject lol

[@brandonbabcock5245]

How they think Damn Excuses is heavier than Breathing In A New Mentality is beyond me, BIANM is feral and chaotic and Damn Excuses is just kinda generic metal.

[@ZarbinDrums]

The mix and master of voyeurist sucked. Digital ghost was so much better.
