With two RIAA-certified gold albums, three Grammy nominations, and a legacy of uncompromising authenticity, Underoath is back with their new album. Louder and bolder than ever before, the band has announced The Place After This One, due out March 28 via MNRK Heavy.
The upcoming record is as a document for both longtime fans and those who have never heard of the band. Chronicling their storied history, the album shows listeners where they’ve been and where they are going. It features a crystalline vision blending hard rock, electronic experimentation, guttural screams and anthemic, call-to-arms choruses.
Discussing the new album, guitarist Tim McTague says,
“The Place After This One is a multi-faceted idea. The fact that we grew up so sheltered and spiritual, and are trying to reconcile how we grew up against what we see now in the new age. Underoath, albeit intact and the same, is simultaneously so different. Our band has gone through a lot of chaos. I think there’s something beautiful about the idea of not just abandoning everything when things get weird. Whether it be your faith, or your band, or your marriage, or your relationships. The idea that there is a place after this one, even if it’s with the same people or it’s with the same God, or it’s with the same town. Things compound when it’s good, and you just cut out the things that are bad.”

The group has been teasing a series of singles recently and just released their latest, “All the Love Is Gone,” following a slew of tracks — including “Generation No Surrender,” “Survivor’s Guilt” and “Teeth.” Vocalist Spencer Chamberlain describes the song as: “…one of the most out-there songs we’ve ever written. We really wanted to create a track that was drum-and-bass-driven, kind of in the vein of The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Noisia, etc. We also pulled elements from Justice and The Streets. There’s a darkness to those artists that’s so heavy and interesting to me, and we really wanted to embrace that on this song. To me, this is kind of our version of that—sharing a lot of those elements and vibes but still keeping the heaviness of Underoath at its core.”
Chamberlain explained that he wrote the song from a place of deep personal struggle:
“Everything was falling apart. You’re at a bar, and you don’t care. I felt like I needed to write it down to remind myself to never go there again.”
