Coming off their gold-certified Define The Great Line disc, Underøath, who’ve built their career on being both heavy and experimental, return September 2nd with the succinct and resolute Lost In The Sound Of Separation, their fourth album on Seattle’s Tooth & Nail/Solid State Records.

A diverse musical display coupled with the input of six opinionated souls, Lost In The Sound Of Separation is their most accomplished album to date.
By trusting their instincts, pushing their song-craft to the limit and meticulously perfecting it with Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, Atlanta-based producer/drummer Matt Goldman and the skilled mixing of veteran David Bendeth, Underøath has soared to new artistic heights with Lost In The Sound Of Separation. Catapulting them far beyond their previous works to create a sound that’s both epic and intimate, brutal and beautiful, Underøath deliver one highlight after another including “A Fault Line A Fault Of Mine”, the melodic reprieve of “Too Bright To See Too Loud To Hear” and “The Created Void”, as well as the striking first single “Desperate Times, Desperate Measures”. Defying the band’s traditional approach, the stunning and uplifting “Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear” is a beautiful near-ballad destined to become a fan favourite.

Underøath; lead vocalist Spencer Chamberlain, guitarist Tim McTague, bassist Grant Brandell, drummer Aaron Gillespie, keyboardist Chris Dudley and guitarist James Smith; whose last three albums count combined sales in excess of one million copies, have worked diligently to reach this creative apex while building one of the biggest metal-core followings in the world.

Underøath will launch their world tour beginning Saturday, August 30th in Mexico City at the Centro De Convenciones. This show marks the group’s first-ever visit to Mexico. On September 2nd, the day of release of Lost In The Sound Of Separation, Underøath will hold a special in-store signing at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square beginning at 4:00pm (1540 Broadway, New York, NY; 212-921-1020). Later that evening, the band will perform at their CD release party at The Fillmore at Irving Plaza in the city. Following the concert in New York, the band will hold their Canadian CD release party at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto on September 3rd. Only a limited number of tickets are now available and they are going fast, fans can purchase tickets at Ticketmaster.com (password: Underoath777).
