Underoath Tickets - Band History

Underoath began in 1997 in Tampa, Florida. Their original lineup consisted of Dallas Tyalor, Luke Morton, Aaron Gillespie, Corey Steger and Octavio Fernandez, but it would hardly last long. The band signed with Takehold Records in 1999 and released two albums, before the label was bought out by Tooth & Nail Records. By the time the band began recording their most controversial album They're Only Chasing Safety, Gillespie was the only original member left in the band. Charismatic vocalist Dallas Taylor had left the band due to personal issues, and was replaced by Stephen Chamberlain. It was with Chamberlain at the helm, however, that the band really began to gain steam. They're Only Chasing Safety garnered the group an explosion in popularity, and is evidenced by the fact that while the album only peaked at number 101 on U.S. charts, the buzz it created helped the follow-up album Define the Great Line land at number 2. Subsequently, Underoath became arguably the most talked about heavy music act of the 2000's. Widespread disbelief settled in when long time drummer and vocalist Aaron Gillespie left the band in 2010, but Underoath continues to maintain their fanbase.

Underoath Tickets - The Music

Originally, Underoath began as a black metal band. They took a more metalcore approach on The Changing of the Times but went in a pop-metal direction with They're Only Chasing Safety. Define the Great Line found them heading back into heavier territory, and Disambiguation carried heavy atmospheric influences. While the band's sound is likely to continue to evolve, the intensity of their live show has not changed. For this reason, make sure to get your Underoath tickets.
