UNDERØATH: Rebirth interview

[@theabsoluteworst1]

Underøath has always been so nostalgic, in a sense. Anytime I think about their music, shit just comes back to me like it happened yesterday.. Listening to these songs with my friends, the good times, getting through hard times...all nostalgic.

[@d_ruggs]

completely agree

[@ofculturerebirth9537]

yes really

[@EnricoPalazza]

'They're Only Chasing Safety' is what makes me tear up every fucking time. there's just something about that record... so nostalgic indeed. such an incredible work of the phenomenal band.

[@McYates24]

Lost in the Sound of Separation is my fav underoath album too

[@whimsicalnick]

+Alexander McYates For real

[@saarxddd]

My fav is their last, Ø

[@diegoguillen5235]

[@90sharn]

they said they are planning to make new music.

[@yogiyahya8341]

Sharn Lain Finnaly , Upcoming Album by Underoath .

[@Kim2Sung]

Underoath is definitely a band - if not the only band - that has helped me through my brightest moments and darkest hours. I love Underoath - always will be my favorite till the day I die.

[@CaPn-CLaX]

There's something this band has that others nowadays just don't. I honestly can't explain it, but I just don't get the same feeling listening to more recent underground bands than I do with Underoath. I was in elementary school when one of my older neighborhood friends came over and introduced me to them while helping me put together my first drumkit. I remember hearing "In regards to myself" for the first time and just being completely blown away. It's exactly like what Aaron was saying, I felt like this music was made for me. Aaron continues to be the biggest influence in my drumming to this day, and I owe it to Underoath as a whole for getting me through some extremely rough times in my life. Glad these guys are back. This band means so much to so many people.

[@MrJordwalk]

I will remember Underoath for being a groundbreaking band. Define The Great Line and Lost In The Sound Of Separation are two of the greatest albums Metalcore has ever seen. They're both absolute masterpieces.

[@derekmotta6926]

That was a damn good interview.

[@PillzMcNiggIII]

Hell yeah! My youth pastor was just out of high school and got me into so many hard bands. UØ and TDWP were the two i most remembered. Being a rowdy little 6th grader, I couldn't understand why the hell they were screaming but the music was so passionate. Just recently I saw them in Texas at 19years old and holy fucking shit... the years of listening to these beautiful men play some of the most passionate music I've ever heard blew me away. Thanks to SoWhat?! Festival and my loving parents who supplied the tickets, I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream.

[@vin_fm2354]

Seth Fahlenkamp im seeing them for the first time in a few days

[@fightclub643]

man that transition to the outro with that bridge fading in gave me chills

[@IntimateAlien]

Watching this makes me so Happy. Underoath was one of the first bands to get me into heavier music, around the age of 14-15. I got some of the Lyrics to "When the Sun Sleeps" (one of my favourite Underoath songs) tattooed on me in 2013. Not many Bands have made me feel the way this Band does, and no matter how old I get, I think there will always be appreciation for them. I really hope I get to see them Live, after almost 8 years of Listening to them.

[@bigtakeshi]

I loved this interview! This seemed like it was 100% real "we don't give a shit" and the best it could be. Their music doesn't get old for me. DTGL is still one of my favorite albums and I'll rock it until I die. I think it may be safe to say they will be doing a 10 year Lost In The Sound anniversary tour in 2018.

[@blakeparthenay3049]

Thank you for this interview guys! This was everything i needed. I saw Underoath for the first time on the 31st in Portland OR, and it was a concert i literally waited 10 YEARS to go to. Never got the chance when i was young in middle school and halfway through highschool i thought i missed the boat. Then as fate would have it, they came back. Thank you so much Underoath.

[@joshguardado9041]

I'll be honest, ive never listened to underøath before they've never interested me. But lately I've been hearing their name all over the place hearing how amazing they are and how they were back in the day. I listed to the "define the great line" album and i cried, everything was genuine in that album and i regret never getting into them until now, and they are the most down-to-earth band i've ever seen. Now that they're back together, you can bet I'll be at their next show

[@Dansnov1086]

They're so incredibly real and honest. You can feel it in your chest when you listen to their music

[@MM-fp2up]

+Dansnov1086 SOOOO true my man!!

[@kylewallace7639]

Watching this made me want to listen to Define the Great Line again. It brings back a ton of memories.

[@geddyfranco]

Wow UØ is impressively one of the most genuine bands I've ever come to know of. I have so much love and respect for them.

[@Krueltybeast187]

never thought i'd ever hear Aaron say fuck in an interview.

[@andr.ee.w]

+Absentimental listen to his interview on the bad christian podcast. doesn't hold back there haha.

[@Krueltybeast187]

i will. thanks. am i going to be surprised in Tim?

[@Iceman219]

+Absentimental it's refreshing to be honest

[@andr.ee.w]

Absentimental why would you? they're just being themselves. something they couldn't be trying to be a "christian" band. they don't give two shits what people label them they're just being they've alway been.

[@Krueltybeast187]

+Andrew Holder well I would be because generally he doesn't say bad words in his previous interviews. and I think they do care what people label them as. Aaron did say he didn't want them to be associated as being a Christian metal chore band

[@sippinoncris]

Can happily say I've seen this band in concert live 3 times..the latter after their reunion which happened to be the most insane show I've ever been too

[@d_ruggs]

oh what id give to see underoath live

[@cornellswart4294]

Please come to South Africa again!

[@wolfsbane123]

"Who said this is the end? I'm so over that shit" haha I love that :D

[@PTRK490]

I feel you guys. It's like with a group of friends. You grew up as teens, love the same shit and eventually when you hit your twenties, life started to change. I'm 30 now and my twenties sucked. Was going through really rough times with friends, relationships and family. Now 30 and i reunite with couple of my friends and me and my ex are back together. It's like when you hit 30 you become mature and really talk things out and get reconciliation.

[@adamulven4625]

good content, thank you. Underoath is like a looking glass to my past.

[@derekroberts4672]

I remember seeing Aaron in Omaha, NE with The Almost and I told him "dude I've always loved your stuff, especially when you were with Underoath." Whoops.

[@Thomas-rc7cm]

Very well put by Aaron at 12:00 about not wanting to be labeled as just a christian metal band. They transcended way beyond that label musically.

[@tyler4girlz]

Gillespie working that stache!

[@newtypexzerox]

Really good interview, i'm so glad these guys are back. Watching them live last month was amazing, it really brought me back and reminded me why i loved their music so much.

[@TimIsABat]

I know they aren't a Christian band anymore per say, but they really helped me through a lot, and I used to watch and listen to Aaron give sermons. As much as the band grew up together, I grew with them and had my own bouts in my life. I started listening to them when I was 13, and now I'm 24 still listening to them. I even took drums more seriously after listening to them. Their songs still speak to me to this day, and I am so happy for the reunion. With all this said...it is weird hearing Aaron curse, but not in a bad way because hey...I curse...its just different lol.

[@anthonyjoseph8593]

this band got me through the darkest times i have ever experienced in my life.

[@ixtacoyotlpena]

I absolutely love that they are back

[@madman2541]

Lost in the sound of separation! My favorite album of all time! They put so much thought into this album and it shows! They make the world a better place! That's how I define a great band!

[@AuzaKite]

I went to the rebirth tour and i saw that "5th element" ive been to soo many concerts and this one was the best one ive been too i saw the love. Not just in the crowd but on stage

[@marcusp1224]

@12 mins in, that is spot on. I felt exactly this listening to Underoath during my third and final tour of Afghanistan in 2012.

[@KellysHeroes777]

soooooo happy underoath is back and you know a new record is coming

[@brosettastone7520]

Y’all got me through some shit back in the day......hell what am I saying, y’all still getting me through some shit

[@patricktuftsofficial]

Its never too late to come back to Jesus I love you guys your Christian testimony is a huge Blessing to me. God Bless in the name of Jesus AMEN!

[@iSeanyPoo]

seeing this makes me so happy.

[@Captain_Neckbeard]

Underoath was for me. I love their music.

[@jason77584]

Aaron is funny when his talking about looking back and say why did I do that😂

[@StraightP1ff]

cant believe i got hooked to them a month after their last show, thinking fuck i will never see them again, now i own tickets to see them in 2017, unfortunately hey arn't headline but its better than nothing

[@vomitoriumbassist]

Is underoath going to make any new music? Love that they got back together to play their older stuff.. i will always love define the great line, etc. would be awesome to hear them as a band, now.. friggin aaron is back with them.. damn man! Wish i could have seen this rebirth tour.. i bet it was magical! Lol wasnt finished with the video when i wrote this comment.. thanks for answering these questions spencer! Haha!!

[@isabellepena9641]

This is fucking amazing

[@michaelv8721]

I would love to be in a band that rocks out like these guys do and has such a connection with their fans and with each other like these guys. Sadly I didn't grow up with a group of friends that listened to the same music as I do and wanted to start a band. Im going into college now so hopefully I can find some people to start something with because I've always wanted to write and share music!

[@Moshington]

If you really want to find your future bandmates, you should just start writing and sharing your music. I formed a band 2 years ago at the age of 30.

[@michaelv8721]

@@Moshington that’s awesome! I do have some material I think is good and would like to share. Did you use a certain platform/website to share music and find your bandmates?

[@Moshington]

@@michaelv8721 I was just doing my thing solo for years, put music up on SoundCloud and someone just found me through a Reddit comment. Wasn’t even specifically sharing music, just talking about music production.

[@matthewbledsoe2571]

Yay!! I love Underøath!! 😊

[@austinh9290]

I love underoath... always will. will go down as one of the best bands of all time. no matter what they come out with post 2016..... anything that came out after LITSOS lacks that insanely raw emotion that the first three records have. underoath is my favorite band of all time. inspired to get tattoos like spencer, my drum style is best described by aaron gillespie. i have a bone to pick with new music. the aura of the world is different. those hard raw times cannot ever be recreated. i wont say RIP UO..... but i will say... they should just play their 3 records and tour. new music cannot be as raw. its not possible.

[@SBarone2525]

Austin H well said homie, that's what's missing with all of the greats trying to make new albums, but, they just feel stale. You can't replicate that raw emotion

[@purposelifetv9618]

Anyone notice Aaron is wearing the same Nirvana shirt that Spencer was wearing in another interview. I wonder if they share cloths haha, thats band love!

[@vin_fm2354]

Aaron should be called define the great hairline

[@kristianbonis483]

It's funny to me because I've never been religious but for some reason it was one of the reasons I liked them so much when I was a teenager. I would always show my mom their music and I remember the look on her face when I would tell her that they were a Christian band. I could care less that they aren't now

[@joshparker1295]

It feels like yesterday when I was in high school listening to they're only chasing safety. This is fucking crazy.

[@gabrielmaphanga8328]

Your guys are Awesome no band can close. Not to mention name even commercial bands LIke BMTH etc. Hope you still forward the word of Our Lord Jesus

[@raymondjanting04]

its so funny . i didnt listen to underoath like almost 7 year now . and aaoron wasn't in the band like 7 years . i gonna listen to them again .

[@umbroog7342]

Aaron sounds like Leo D when he talks

[@michaelcanada6583]

um broog i was thinking the same thing

[@xtenthfloorx]

To me I never worried about them being labeled Christian, and it actually enhanced the music and empowerment of being Christian, as to which you can be made fun of. This sound overall is tough and made me feel tough till this very day. Their music is universal like everyone else. Sounds like truly, not everyone has same views or may believe in Christ anymore. To be labeled Christian would be wrong, yes, but theyve burned their bridges by letting the world dictate their image and pathway. That's what hurt me when they taken away the Christian label, to be Christian is to be different but my non believing friends to believers, never once gave a damn about the label for the group. Not many Christians did, if so, as it says, their not Christians. Im glad they're back but their demeanor has changed, which isnt bad but will not be the same, in regards of confidence within the style towards the music. Peace be to them all.

[@rebbodenso]

[@NoPousWow1]

Hey Aaron, i like to play with fire too.

[@noahcarroll6934]

No judgement here, but it seems like Aaron is a little more bitter about Christianity and such now. As a worship leader and fellow believer, I really enjoyed his worship much he put out a few years back as well as all of the preaching he did at things like the awakening conference. That said, I'm in no way saying "oh, he's not really a christian" or anything like that, but I was just wondering if anyone had heard anything about where the (seeming) shift in his character came from

[@NateTheGreat1791]

Noah Carroll Aaron and his wife got divorced a while back. So that's a partial reason to some of his changes I think.

[@wolfsbane123]

But... But... Chasing Safety is my favorite album :(

[@TheBeefPudding]

thats fine, but it's objectively an immature album, as compared to their later releases.

[@yung-stephen]

TheBeefPudding why doesn't Disambiguation ever get any love?

Stephen Redmond Disambiguation is arguably one of their best albums. Spencer is amazing on it.

[@jordanhitsthings]

I can't figure out where they stand with their beliefs anymore.

[@prismajane]

As far as I know, Aaron is the same as ever, but Spencer no longer considers himself a Christian.

[@dad_moose]

Does it matter? God can use anyone to really show himself to people.

[@sk8brder40]

It's not like their music was super Christian anyways. I feel like the last track of TOCS is one of the only songs with real Christian lyrics..

[@jorilla]

+David Greene ahhh.. I got ya. Well maybe the rebirth will revive his soul.

[@SitekCinek]

Aaron says he doesn't remember how they wrote those records... You're taking credit for your music as a Christian band, God wanted you to write those records, you strayed from the path and therefore have no recollection of doing so. It's too bad honestly, I feel like I can relate to UO more than ever before. Listened to them when I was 13-14. (To think that was 12 years ago) I grew up Christian, things didn't go like I planned so I said fuck it, fuck God, sup drugs, cars, money and who knows what else. Now I look at you guys, knowing you'll never ever read this and I think to myself. You, who I looked up to through my childhood has in a way betrayed me. You guys were what I wanted to be.. You stood for something, you had a message, but now you guys are broken, you look broken and I see myself, a broken shell of a boy with dreams, who wanted so much but could achieve so little. I might listen to your new record, but I heard the preview and it sounded like shit, any old school fan will see it. Define the Great Line and They're Only Chasing Safety were records that helped me through the low. I have a feeling all you guys have to offer now, is quite the opposite, just more depressing and edgy bullshit which every other fucking band has done. It's too bad, I'm lost and all I see is myself in those guys is they're lost, just like me, desperate to find the answers because after everything they've struggled for, it just wasn't enough. You guys should drop the name, you're trying to coast off of fame you earned with an ideology you no longer portray. Underoath stood for all the broken and betrayed, now, you guys just seem to be spreading bullshit and despair. It was a good ride boys, but I'll check out from here.

[@jonw1235]

They look broken? Maybe you are mistaking the natural aging process with being broken. Its great they helped you in the past--they did the same for me; but it was the power of music, not the power of God through the music, that provided you with comfort. Teenage angst is something we all must go through. The fact that this band helped you out is not significant. I was also inspired by UnderOath, though I never did join a real band. My path is certainly very different from any of these guys' paths. Underoath didn't betray you. They don't owe you anything. The fact that they aren't labeling themselves as a christian band anymore does not mean they themselves are not christian. What? there's now that F bomb in the new song? Aaron cussed a few times in this interview? Unless they literally come out and say "we are not christian anymore", or "we aren't christian--never really were", you can relax.

[@OBrienDesigns]

Dude, you honestly have no idea wtf you're talking about. They aren't broken. What they are saying is actually completely the opposite. You're a cynic and just because you don't connect with underoath the way you used to and hate your life doesn't mean they are the problem, you are.

[@johnfrancis7046]

lost in sounds album sucked! we want another define the great line or they're only chasing safety
