Underoath Announce Break Up

Christian metalcore giants Underoath have just announced that they will be disbanding.

"It's sad to say that we feel like it's time to close this chapter, but we have never seen things more clearly," says vocalist Spencer Chamberlain. "These have been the best years of my entire life, and I owe that to every single person who ever supported this band along the way. This wasn't a quick decision by any means. It's just time for us to move on."

The Tampa, Florida-based group released seven albums in total – including the Gold-certified mid-2000s releases They're Only Chasing Safety and Define the Great Line – that collectively yielded Grammy and Dove Award nominations and total sales in excess of 1.3 million units.

To celebrate their legacy together, Underoath will be releasing a career-spanning retrospective album called Anthology 1999-2012 and going out on the road together one last time for a farewell tour. Hitting stores on Nov. 6 via Solid State Records, the album will also include two newly recorded tracks, "Sunburnt" and "Unsound." Underoath will be announcing dates for their farewell tour next week.

So upset to see them breaking up. I grew up listening to them. Changed my life too. Definitely gonna have to look up their tour dates to see if they're gonna be in my area. And just because they're not so called "Famous" doesn't mean you have to disrespect them. These guys wrote music more meaningful than your Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber ever will. And to the people who listen to them they mean a lot.

To all the people who say they never heard of them cause they arent big ... seriously? This band has saved many lives including my own. They are a christian band so dont go saying they worship the devil because of they way they perform how stereotypical can you be? If you would take a second to actually hear what they are saying you would be amazed. Ive seen them three times and each time i cried like a baby because of how much emotion they put into a show...if you think mainstream music is good than your stupid. Its all the same bullshit! Underoath is something different and something that will change my life forever. And i feel sorry for you if you never heard of them. you have really missed out on something great.

they were nominated for two grammy's and have the highest charted christian album on the billboard since 1997. and they sold 1.3 million records. just cause you guys don't listen to modern music doesn't mean they're unheard of. you old bastards.

of course aol wasted their time,they bought the american communist parties website known as the huffington(puffington) post,which is where ALL their news comes from,and whatever you do dont go there and argue with them and have facts on your side they will ban you from participating in any discussions they have,after all the stories they run are half truths,lies feel good emo stories and so slanted that its amazing they can sit up and write articles. they only want to silence anyone that doesnt agree with them like the democrats did in 1988 when they were trying to take away everyones free speech rights.

I love how everyone on here is saying how aol wasted their time cause they thought it was a big band breaking up. The article is titled "Underoath Announce Break Up"....if you thought it was about someone else you're an idiot.

As for those of you saying they are screaming nothing and are terrible, look up the lyrics, that was the big draw to them for me. Just cause it isn't you're taste is your fault, not theirs. Move on. Have some respect for them and their fans, no need to be an a$$hole just cause you can.

Huge fan of these guys, definitely sad to see them go...
