Just watched this a couple days ago with the Letlive and House of Protection announcements. Genuinely excited for everyone doing what they feel most passionate about. Undeniably a wild lineup for the first few years of FEVER. Calling it now, Underoath will bring them out on one of their first run of shows.

He’s… one of the vocalists

Is Steevis the vocalist? Looks like he's singing/shouting in the clips. Very curious what this project will be like. All the band dudes are going wild in the comments. Everyone seems hyped.

Not sure I would say if Daniel is a better fit than Aaron in Underoath (Aaron is a fundamental part of that band for better or for worse in certain eras) but it is undeniable when he is in a band he brings the secret sauce. He is my favorite drummer in the genre by miles. I would have loved one more record with him in Underoath and ETID. Dude is a monster, he brought riffs to both of those albums and helped put songs together. I loved the last two singles they put out before they broke up. Always wish we would have gotten either a farewell ep or full length. I envy the folks who love Vouyerist. It just didn't click with me. I do think they hit some big peaks on the album though. Thorn and Pneumonia are some of their best efforts in years. I didn't make it to a show when they were promoting the album either. I think a big part of loving this band is seeing the live expressions of their songs. Will have to dive back in this week and share my thoughts.

I’ve said it before but it’s just absolutely incredible to me that a band got progressively heavier for 4(!) consecutive albums while the scene was getting more and more accessible. That they only got more popular for most of it? Unthinkable. I love Voyeurist and can’t fathom what people who don’t like it (obvi not referring to you) don’t like about it, as it’s an underoath record top to bottom. That said, my only real critique of it, and the one thing that diminishes my attachment to it, is that despite how creative and unique it is, it was the first underoath album that didn’t challenge me to like it. It felt fresh and revitalized, it showcased them using their old tricks in new ways, but for the most part it was still, well, old tricks. It was easy to like. It was exciting and a great reset, a fresh change, albeit mildly, in direction, but it didn’t push the underoath sound forward as much as its predecessors. Sounds like the new one will do that.

Does anybody have the interview/podcast where someone talks about scrapping the music and writing a new record? I vaguely remember hearing about it but I can't remember where.

Really excited about this album. The one-off singles were fine, but I am hoping for some more out there stuff. My personal favorite UO era was LITSOS and Disambiguation when they were swinging for the fences doing some weird creative work. Some truly inspired stuff in the heavy genre. Vouyerist was a great album but didn't do it for me personally. Eventually, I would love them to work with a producer again. I think they do best with an outside person pulling all the ideas together with them. The last couple of years haven't been my favorite from them, but I have been a die-hard since I was a kid and will always give new music a listen with an open mind. Scrapping songs that were in the vein of the singles and starting over has my interest peaked.

It looks liked they finished recording the new album yesterday from what I can gather on Instagram. In talks with people on their old label, it sounds like they had an album ready to go after Voyeurist that was pushing in a different direction and it was scrapped, or partially scrapped. And now they've gone back and recorded something new.

Looks like Collaborators are resharing. Stoked to see what this is all about. These dudes are awesome. Their run in FEVER was rad, but they have a lot more to offer than what they were doing in that band. Will be cool to see everyone thriving doing their thing.

Really enjoyed the interview with Tom. I loved that he was tinkering around with AVA delays. I feel like the last reunion he was having an identity crisis between his two artistic impulses and this time everything is integrated and in its proper place. big time good vibes coming from Tom these days.
