Underoath will release their first-ever live CD and concert DVD Survive, Kaleidoscope on May 27th.

Recorded during the group’s fall headlining U.S. trek at numerous tour stops and mixed by Beau Burchell, guitarist for Saosin, the 12-song live CD portion and features nine tracks from Underoath’s gold-certified breakthrough album Define The Great Line as well as “A Boy Brushed Red Living In Black And White”, “It’s A Dangerous Business Just Walking Out Your Front Door” and “Young And Aspiring”, all off of the group’s They’re Only Chasing Safety disc. The 65-minute live DVD concert film, shot in its entirety at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia, PA, is presented in 16:9 widescreen and offers fans a glimpse at Underoath’s unique stage and lighting set up for an ambient visual and audio one-time-only concert experience. The DVD, which features 14 tracks back-to-back, was shot by Art & Industry and edited by Ryan Gardner of the Audible Diversion Group. The audio was mixed by producer Adam Dutkiewicz, guitarist for Killswitch Engage.

“The footage on the live DVD came out far above our expectations, and Adam and Beau outdid themselves in the audio department,” says Underoath guitarist Tim McTague.

The acclaimed hard rock group are renowned worldwide for their cathartic and frenzied live performances, as underlined by Survive, Kaleidoscope. Revolver magazine has noted that “Underoath have become one of the most punishing metalcore powerhouses around and, in the pouring rain, they delivered an astonishingly brutal set that proved them worthy of the buzz surrounding them.” Metro Times (Detroit, MI) weighed in by saying, “While Define the Great Line added melody and dynamics without sacrificing the intensity of the sextet’s metal-hardcore hybrid, nothing, compares to the band’s writhing live performances.” Elsewhere, as noted in the Providence Journal, “Underoath were the headliners; with punishing bass and drums, crunching guitar and a horror-movie tinge to singer Spencer Chamberlain’s delivery that all give the religious themes of the lyrics universal appeal.” Creative Loafing (Atlanta, GA) summed it up in one word: “incendiary”.

Underoath; lead vocalist Spencer Chamberlain, guitarist Tim McTague, bassist Grant Brandell, drummer Aaron Gillespie, keyboardist Christopher Dudley and guitarist James Smith; have solidly built their fan base from incessant touring and their unrelentingly intense live shows, establishing an unbreakable bond with their fans. The combined sales of their three albums are over one million copies.

Underoath will headline the Hot Topic stage on this summer’s Rockstar Energy Mayhem Tour, joining Slipknot, Disturbed, Mastodon, Dragonforce, Machine Head and many others. The Mayhem Fest launches July 9th in Seattle, WA and wraps August 19th in Buffalo, NY and includes stops near Los Angeles on July 13th in San Bernardino, CA and in Uniondale, NY on August 3rd.
