Underoath (sometimes stylized as Underøath, underOATH, or UnderOath) is an American rock band based in Tampa, Florida; they are currently signed to Tooth & Nail/Solid State Records. Though their musical style has changed substantially since its inception in 1998, the band's latest work has been mostly in the vein of post-hardcore and metalcore, and considered to be screamo or emo-influenced by some. Underoath is also a Christian band, though they are popular among both Christian and secular audiences. Underoath could be considered a poster child for the success of hard music in the early 21st century; despite limited airplay on radio and television outlets such as MTV and VH1, the band has achieved Gold status because of constant touring and popularity on internet sites such as MySpace and PureVolume. In 1998, Underoath formed with Dallas Taylor and guitarist Luke Morton in Taylor's bedroom in Ocala, Florida. Morton devised the name Underoath "from somewhere in the Bible". Drummer Aaron Gillespie, who attended Morton's church, was asked to play with them. Gillespie agreed, and the group recruited guitarist Corey Steger and bassist Octavio Fernandez; the band members were all in high school. After a year of playing at festivals and touring the area around Florida, Underoath signed to Alabama's Takehold Records in 1999. In 2000, keyboardist Christopher Dudley joined Underoath, and the five-song, forty-minutes long record, Cries of the Past was released. In 2001, Takehold Records was bought out by Seattle's Tooth & Nail Records and Underoath was subsequently signed to the label's heavier subsidiary, Solid State Records. In January 2002, bassist Grant Brandell joined Underoath. After taking the end of 2003 off from touring to begin working on an album, the band scheduled time in February 2004 to begin recording. During the early months of 2004, Underoath returned to the studio with Chamberlain as lead vocalist and producer James Wisner. They're Only Chasing Safety was released on June 15, 2004 and proved to be a more commercial success for Underoath, going on to out sell the previous three albums combined. In January 2006, Underoath entered the studio to record their fifth album release, which would come to be titled Define the Great Line; named so because "you just have to find that line and that way to live your life". Released on June 20, 2006, Define the Great Line sold 98,000 copies in its first week and debuted on the Billboard 200 Chart at #2, the highest debut for a Christian album since 1997. During the 2007 fall tour, Chamberlain confirmed various times that Underoath will have a new record out on September 2, 2008. Recording for the album began in March 2008 and ended in April 2008. Underoath will be releasing the "Survive, Kaleidoscope" live CD/DVD on May 27, 2008. Additionally, Underoath will be joining the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Tour during the summer of 2008. They will be sharing the stage with bands like Slipknot, Disturbed, Mastodon, and Dragonforce. Underoath will be headlining the Hot Topic stage on the tour.
