    Underoath will release The Place After This One on March 25th. Today they’ve shared the video for “All The Love is Gone,” and pre-orders are up.

    Underoath, the iconic and genre-defining band, has once again shattered expectations with their forthcoming album, The Place After This One, to be released March 28, 2025 via MNRK Heavy. Renowned for their ability to transform chaos into harmony and aggression into anthemic survival, the Florida-based group delivers a record that promises to redefine heavy music and expand their already massive audience. With two RIAAcertified gold albums, three Grammy nominations, and a legacy of uncompromising authenticity, Underoath is back—and they’re 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 is 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.
    
    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.”
    
    Following a string of new singles beginning last year – including “Generation No Surrender,” “Survivor’s Guilt” and “Teeth” – the band return today with a punishing new song taken from their upcoming album, “All The Love Is Gone,” alongside its accompanying music video.
    
    Speaking on the song out today, vocalist Spencer Chamberlain calls it “...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.”
     
    He continues, “Lyrically, I wrote it from the place I used to go whenever something went wrong in my life, which I think we can all relate to. It's a place I now consciously avoid when things fall apart. But it’s that moment when everything in your life has fallen apart, you’re at the bar, and you just don’t care anymore. Maybe it’s the end of a relationship, the loss of a friend or family member, or you just got fired—whatever it may be, we've all had a night like this. It’s a scary feeling, and it’s a place I never want to go back to, but that’s the song in a nutshell. It’s pretty on the nose, so to speak, but I felt like I needed to write it down to remind myself to never go there again.”

    Idk…definitely not up my alley. The pointless swearing and half baked lyrics just don’t do it for me. I mean it’s marginally better than stuff on Erase Me and Voyeurist, but for me personally, that’s a very low bar. I just can’t get into this weird industrial like direction they’ve gone in.

    underøath was at its absolute best on Ø disambiguation. sonically and lyrically. unpopular opinion, they were better without aaron gillespie.

    every time they put out something new now i just sigh. it’s just bad.

    Probably the weakest single so far. Curious about the track with Troy though.

    Definitely not an unpopular opinion with me. Daniel Davison was money on that album. Sonically they were just leagues and leagues away from where they are now. Don’t understand it. For me it was a case of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

    I can see why people enjoy the new stuff. Just not for me. Maybe one day they’ll refine their sound to a point where I’ll dig their music again. I’ll always listen in and give it a chance. But it definitely didn’t happen today. I despise that song and everything from Erase Me to now is just not pleasing to my ears.

    Better than you, sorry

    Seeing as Define The Great Line is their magnum opus and They’re only chasing safety is what got them fans, it’s safe to say Aaron is very important.

    Can't agree with this more, and this is from someone who has not been a fan of anything post Disambiguation. I think it's clear they want different things out of this band now, which is fine, but that doesn't mean we can't wonder what in the world is going on. :teethsmile:

    Seems like an evolution of Erase Me and I’m here for it. Plus the fact it releases in March…..

    i’m not saying that aaron wasn’t important. i just think they sound better without aaron. spencer doing clean vocals sounds so much better than aaron’s too.

    It's always nice to see when bands ruin their legacy instead of calling it off when they should be.
    They are doing it harder than most bands.
