Underøath have returned to the U.S for a 34-city fall headlining trek which kicked off October 15th in Lake Buena Vista, FL. Their new trek takes the band to 34 cities across the country including stops at New York City’s Terminal 5 (3,000 capacity) on Sunday, October 26th and Irvine, CA’s Bren Events Center (5,000 capacity, just outside Los Angeles) on Saturday, November 15th.

After wrapping a hugely successful sold-out shows in eight countries around the globe including the U.S., U.K., Mexico, Canada, Italy, Germany, South Africa and Australia, Underøath continue to garner new fans and widespread critical acclaim for their new album Lost In The Sound Of Separation as well as their powerful live performances. In his four-out-of-five star CD review in Kerrang! (national, U.K. music weekly), writer Dan Slessor hailed:

“Whether it’s the convulsive frenzy of ‘Breathing in A New Mentality,’ the steamrolling ‘Emergency Broadcast: The End Is Near’ which shifts effortlessly between sludgy bludgeon and ethereal desperation, or the violent pseudo-anthem ‘Desperate Times, Desperate Measures,’ the record comes across as an exercise in barely controlled – and deeply seductive – chaos. Yet in a further demonstration of their emotive power, the record concludes with back-to-back tracks steeped in tragic solemnity – ‘Too Bright To See, To Loud To Hear’ and ‘Desolate Earth: The End Is Here’ – and it’s hard to shake off the melancholy hangover that lingers long after the speaks have fallen quiet.”

Meanwhile, Lost In The Sound Of Separation received praise from writer Andrew Kelham in the new issue of (U.K. bi-monthly) ROCK SOUND with an 8 out of 10 review:

“The high point comes on track 10, ‘Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear,’ an epic rock song that couples an incredibly dark lyric with an incredibly light melody to create a beautiful hum that sits over a backbone that is part U2, part Radiohead and part something else entirely. It’s a moment of magic.”

Writing about the group’s sold-out eight-show UK tour—which included a London gig at Astoria (over 2,000 capacity), writer Ryan Bird hailed in his Kerrang! (U.K., music weekly), live review:

“The twisted riffs of ‘In Regards to Myself’...sees sweeping circle pits open up with ease…while they’re a band that possesses genuine belief in their music, they’re also one capable of inflicting that same music belief on others.”
(10/1/08)

Likewise, in his review for the U.K.’s Yorkshire Evening Post, Richard Partington hailed:

“Underøath’s scorching progressions and eloquent garage thrash provide a welcome diversion from the well-worn hardcore metal crossroads.”
(9/11/08)

Elsewhere, Fiona McGlynn of the U.K.’s Manchester Evening News noted:

“The band are clearly enjoying being on stage as they thrash around and give an energetic performance with arms flaying. All this and still keeping the rhythm and their precise musicianship shining through…The ferocity and manic execution of the songs with crushing riffs and electro elements, Underøath have perfected their sound and no matter how complex the music is, they deliver the songs.”
(9/6/08)

During the group’s five-city tour of South Africa, the national music magazine Blunt heralded:

“The sound was phenomenal for Underøath, probably the best live sound I’ve ever heard…the kick drum was like a punch in the chest…their set was one of those frozen moments discussed with childish enthusiasm after the show and remembered for a long time to come. Frontman Spencer Chamberlain is a sensitive screamer, a long and gangly stickman that’s 70% voice, 10% body and 20% hair. Drummer Aaron Gillespie is one of the best live drummers I’ve ever seen.”
(9/24/08)

Underøath, whose last three albums count combined sales in excess of one million copies, recently released their fourth album Lost In The Sound Of Separation on Seattle indie Tooth & Nail/Solid State. The disc marked the top rock debut for the week and entered the Billboard Top 200 Album chart at #8, #1 on the Top Christian albums chart and #5 on the Top Digital albums chart, with over 9,476 digital downloads its first week.

Produced by Underøath, Adam Dutkiewicz and Matt Goldman and mixed by veteran David Bendeth, Lost In The Sound Of Separation is epic and intimate, brutal and beautiful, catapulting the group far beyond their previous works. Underøath have built one of the biggest metalcore followings in the world, and with Lost In The Sound Of Separation – a diverse musical display coupled with the input of six opinionated souls – the sky’s the limit for Underøath.

Lost In The Sound Of Separation has been released in over 17 countries around the world including Canada, U.S., U.K., Ireland, Austria, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Switzerland, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and now in South America. In December, the band will embark on their first-ever tour of South America, hitting Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Columbia.

Underøath’s first single “Desperate Times, Desperate Measures” is impacting Modern Rock and Active Rock radio. The video for the song can be seen on MTV and Fuse. Check out the stop animation video, directed by Walter Robot (Modest Mouse “Missed the Boat” ), at MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball.

Underøath is lead vocalist Spencer Chamberlain, guitarist Tim McTague, bassist Grant Brandell, drummer Aaron Gillespie, keyboardist Christopher Dudley and guitarist James Smith. For more information, visit Underøath’s YMZ artist page.
