[@manuelmja]

Underoath introduced also Christians (like me) to the metal word…. before Underoath metal was from the devil… After Underoath the metal was for every belive

[@StanDew]

How did we skip right over The Changing of Times? This completely explains the transition or sound AND introduces Tim and Chris. When the sun sleeps is a blaring sign of what is to come. Admittedly Tim has said they don't even consider Underoath a band up until this record. Spencer has also shared over the last couple of years why his vocal performance is so brutal on Disambiguation. Edit: yes, I have been corrected that Chris was on Cries of the past. Thanks for the correction.

[@bradurban1753]

This was my big take away also. That album was how I was introduced to the band and they toured HEAVILY during that time.

[@BendyDH]

I agree, The Changing of Times was really the bridge between the black/death metal and post hardcore sound, it’s definitely essential to the overall history of the band

[@AngryBob4213]

Chris was actually on COTP but yeah definitely needed to be talked about

[@phylazen5649]

When The Sun Sleeps is one of the most legendary screamo songs ever written. I think he may have rushed this video or something because thats a huge album to just gloss over.

[@thrashmetalfan85]

True...That record was so important and definitive in their change in sound with Dallas in it.

[@katherinejohnson3824]

As a Christian and a former addict, I really hate the way Spencer was treated by the church. I promise that there ARE Christians that would do whatever it takes to help someone struggling through a dark time. Not all Christians are the hypocritical holier than thou types.Those kind of folks don’t actually have the Holy Spirit living inside of them and aren’t showing the love of Christ. I appreciate that you shared that Christians are people too and we are by no means perfect or claiming to be. ❤️ I love your videos, keep up the great work.

Yea idk who or what Christians these west coast'ers hang out with but I've personally never ran into somebody in the Christian community who would outcast you due to your drug use. I've personally only ever seen love and compassion offered. I get it though, the west coast is culturally another country compared to the rest of the nation.

[@judgedredd31]

Agreed. The only “Christians” I know who would ostracize someone for their sin is someone who doesn’t understand their duty as a Christian. Those are the “lukewarm” Christians (the ones Jesus will not accept into his kingdom), the seeds cast onto rocks (see Jesus’s parable of the sower). It’s sad to see that underøath strayed from the straight and narrow, but hey: narrow is the gate. They sought something else.

I remember this tall skinny guy with long hair and a messenger bag come up to me before we opened and was just super friendly and talking with me. He asked me how school was going and if I had a girlfriend. I remember thinking how cool it was that this random dude was so interested in my life for no reason. Later that night I saw him on stage, he was the lead singer for Underoath. At the time I had no idea who the band was, but I became a huge fan just because the dude was so nice.

I was outside smoking a cigarette before show started and Tim from Underoath happened to of came outside and he noticed me wearing an Isis shirt. He ran up to me and started talking to me about the band. Wasn't really a fan of Underoath. Was there for The Red Chord. But the way Tim talked to me cursing up a storm, hilarious stories, it really made me question how I felt about the band. And did some research later on and they were not people I assumed they were being Christian. Really opened my eyes a bit. And knowing he was a Isis fan really made me relisten to Underoath tracks and I noticed the influence and became a massive fan.

I was a part of that Christ core scene in my earliest years. It was a great way to convince my parents to let me experience heavy music. Which is weird because my dad would drive me around in his truck listening to early Metallica when I was around 7 years old(you can’t put on ride the lightning and tell a child to settle down). In 5th grade I made some new friends who listened to a large variety. And bringing home albums from artists like the chariot, Norma Jean, underoath and various other tooth and nail essentials. I remember begging and finding a way to convince my parents that I should be able to go to see haste the day and still remains in the bad part of town because Jesus. This scene was responsible for a strong influence over youth and Christians looking to find a way to think for branch out or escape. A lot of kids coming from religious backgrounds had a very hard time obtaining that release of artistic expression. It felt way safer than death metal and especially Nü-metal in the parents eyes. I feel like the Christcore scene deserves a hell of a lot of credit for that. *wink*

Also Beloved, showbread, Living Sacrifice, Jesus Wept, Disciple AD, embodiment, blindside, shai hulud, Extol, Hopesfall.

“It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door” is one of my all time favorite songs. “Pneumonia” is also a masterpiece. Their lyrics resonate with me!

Dangerous Business is the song that got me into Underoath. I bought a Christian rock compilation cd as a 14 year old in 2008 that had that song on it, and I loved it. Went to the Christian bookstore and bought their new album Lost in the Sounds of Separation that was of course WAY heavier then Dangerous Business and I didn't know how to feel about it. It was the first time I had heard anything that heavy. It grew on me really fast though, and within the new few months I bought their 06 and 04 album. Those three albums were all I listened to for a few years. I'm partial to their 06 sound, but 08 is a very close 2nd place for me.

I also grew up going to church and being apart of youth groups, and thought it was so cool that I could relate to them in that way and that it made it easier for my parents to accept the heavy music. their experience with being so involved in the church and ultimately distancing themselves completely mirrors my experience, and I admire how they’ve gone about their transformation so much. their music has got me through some of the best and worst times of my life, I owe a lot to them for that. great video Finn 🙏🏼

[@williamchristensen7354]

​@@imperfectbeliever8127 so i'm going to try to answer your question, but i have to point out some things that i /think/ you might not be considering, so please forgive me if it seems like i'm being condescending. full disclosure: i'm a christian and while i'm not an expert, i have listened to some, although not very closely. tldr: you keep saying that word (god)... i do not think it means what you think it means. so it seems like you might be overlooking a difference in paradigms here. satanism is (largely) an atheistic religion -- satan is a metaphor, a symbol of free will and rebellion against authoritarianism, fascism, autocracy, and oppressive institutions. satanism enshrines individualism, egalitarianism, empathy, reason, and personal responsibility (just take a look at the 7 satanic tenents here: thesatanictemple.com/blogs/the-satanic-temple-tenets/there-are-seven-fundamental-tenets) so when a person says that they hate god and christianity, that doesn't necessarily mean they believe that god is real. it's kinda like saying you hate dolorus umbridge or joffrey baratheon -- they're fictional characters but they represent something real -- a fascist authority figure who hides behind a mask of civility or an unstable sociopath whose word is law. the hate you feel is real but the characters aren't real -- it's what they represent that's so offensive. you might also be missing some important context for why people get uncomfortable with christians doing performatively christian things in their space. while jesus said that people would know his disciples by their love, there's a lot of people walking around with trauma caused by christians (personally, culturally, religiously, etc) and that trauma almost always goes unapologized for and unrepented for by christians. alternative spaces like the shows these bands perform are places people feel safe to be themselves at and when christians do performatively christian things, like thanking jesus publically, people can react out of that trauma and the negative sentiment that rightfully builds around it. it's a defensive response -- shutting down something that has been shown to be offensive or dangerous to them (just think of the westboro baptist church people and you'll get the picture). of course this varies from person to person, but in general there aren't any "excuses" involved because they don't believe the same things that christians do, because their definitions of god and satan are wayyy different. sorry for the essay. i think about these things a lot. have a good one and god bless.

Act of Depression was their 1st album followed by Cries of the past which introduced Chris Dudley, and then the chang of sound happened on the 3rd album The changing of times.

feel you fr. i'm pretty sure that dallas was involved with some if not the majority of the writing atleast the lyrics for they're only changing safety. It's kinda wild as fuck to me i saw underoath play at a church in bradenton or palmetto fl when i was maybe just 10 or 11 and as a result dove into hardcore and metal headfirst. but way later on, octavio fernandez had a band that sounded good af called At the Wake. i saw them play a couple times, i think they might have only played a couple times tbh. but one of the times was pretty cool cuz it was at state theatre in st pete and it was with maylene and the sons of disaster, and spencer chamberlain came out to the show and they were all homies.

[@treasuredcollectibles]

i absolutely love the unreleased albums you mention and they're classics. It was just crazy to me how they could go from those to releasing "the changing of times" a certified classic from start to finish with an almost enitrely new original sound that was truly ahead of it's time. The album really ironically lived up to it's title and helped pioneer an entire era of post hardcore to come vs just being a moniker for the album. This to me was an indicator that this band had a real talent that put them in nearly a league of their own.

[@kage6613]

Man wish you talked about how their 2002 album shows the transition perfectly, phasing out some of the metal parts and bringing in the melodic emo Hopesfall/This Day Forward type parts and having Aaron start to sing. When Spencer first joined the band he was mimicking Dallas on The Changing of Times (before he started doing his own thing with the brutal deep screams), especially when they still performed those songs live, and you can clearly hear on tracks like While The Sun Sleeps and Angel Below how they went all in on the good cop/bad cop vox + synth + metal + mosh + emo in a sound that beat bands like The Devil Wears Prada to the punch by a number of years. Seriously, The Changing of Times is like if Skycamefalling had 10% more chops and 100% more poppy synth choruses.

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Around 2010, Underoath came and played this venue in my small town and it was a pretty big deal. We would get some pretty popular scene bands like Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Greeley Estates etc. But UO was another level. This venue was known to have a "no crowd surfing" rule. Well at the end of the show, Spencer puts a $20 on the kick drum and says "This is our last song, whoever crowd surfs up to the stage first and gets this $20 is coming with us to Taco Bell after the show." The place went crazy, the owner ended up cutting the power to their setup halfway through the song, and I shit you not those guys finished out the entire song without power. It was one of the coolest things ever and really cool to experience in person.
