Today, Underoath, the iconic and genre-defining band, have finally returned with their highly-anticipated new album, "The Place After This One", via MNRK Heavy. The album features the single “All The Love Is Gone", which debuted at #1 Most Added at Active Rock Radio and is quickly moving up the charts faster than any single in the band's career. The group also was featured on the covers of Alternative Press, New Noise Magazine, Revolver and Rock Sound. Renowned for their ability to transform chaos into harmony and aggression into anthemic survival, the Florida-based group has delivered a record that has once again redefined heavy music and is sure to expand their already massive audience. With two RIAA-certified gold albums, three Grammy nominations, and a legacy of uncompromising authenticity, Underoath is louder, bolder and more essential than ever, while continuing to push boundaries in ways that few bands dare.
"The Place After This One" marks a truly momentous occasion in the band's history. It is a stunning document and a remarkable collection of songs, signaling a renaissance period in the beloved act’s storied career. The album showcases where they’re from and, more importantly, where they're headed. It's a masterpiece from musicians at the top of their game. Sonically, its references are varied and complex, and are a distillation of everything they’ve accomplished thus far: a crystalline vision blending hard rock, electronic experimentation, guttural screams and anthemic, call-to-arms choruses.
Two decades after genre classics "Define the Great Line" and "They’re Only Chasing Safety", the Underoath audience is more diverse, passionate, and devoted than ever. That reverence is a testament to the band’s resilience and unwavering commitment to their creative vision. In 2025, Spencer Chamberlain, Tim McTague, Aaron Gillespie, Chris Dudley, and Grant Brandell deliver a powerful new missive filled with emotional courage and unrivaled bombast called "The Place After This One".
“I’m proud of every record we’ve created and wholeheartedly stand behind all of them, but I haven’t felt this way about an album since 'Define the Great Line',” says Chamberlain, the band’s charismatic frontman since 2003. “I’ll never forget the feeling I had the first time we listened to that album together. Listening back to 'The Place After This One', every hair on my body stood on end again.”
Gillespie, who co-founded the group's earliest incarnation as a teen, sees "The Place After This One" as the start of the next 20-year chapter. “The Underoath story is one of longevity,” notes the band’s drummer and co-vocalist. “We’ve had to tear it down to the ground to bring it back. We are in a place where we genuinely love and enjoy each other’s presence and making music together again.”
Walking a creative tightrope between immersive access and isolationist otherness, Underoath owns the space between huge choruses and raw but innovative heaviness, both on record and onstage. The heart of their sound (confessional vulnerability delivered with thrilling force and cinematic grandiosity) can be heard in generations of bands that followed in their wake. And they refuse to stagnate. 2025’s "The Place After This One" is a provocative and inspiring work of outsider art.
“Whether other people get it or not ultimately doesn’t matter,” Spencer says confidently. “Because when I look at my band and see all of us moving around while listening to it, that feeling is priceless.”
