After surpassing sales of over 200,000 copies of THEY’RE ONLY CHASING SAFETY, UNDEROATH is preparing to release a limited edition CD/DVD version of the album October 4 (Tooth and Nail). The CD/DVD features four rare and previously unreleased songs and over two hours of footage including live performances from all of the band’s 2004-2005 tours as well as behind the scenes footage of the band and their inner circle. UNDEROATH have also announced a September Canadian tour with The Used and an October and November U.S. trek with Thrice.
In addition, the new video for their second single “It’s A Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door” (highlighted by hammering punk tempos and stop-start guitars) will debut on MTV2’s “Headbangers Ball” this week and is now airing on Fuse’s “Steven’s Untitled Rock Show.” Also, on October 1 the band will be in New York for an appearance on MTV2’s “Headbangers Ball.” UNDEROATH shot the video for “It’s A Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door” in Hollywood with director Josh Graham (Neurosis’ A Sun That Never Sets [DVD], Dillinger Escape Plan’s “Unretrofied”). Filmed in a surrealistic environment, the video captures the intensity of the band by drawing upon the elements of nature and utilizing cutting-edge editing techniques and state-of-the-art digital imaging. In his Alternative Press (September, 2005) cover story writer DX Ferris hailed the song:
“[It’s A Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door is a] screamo-age murder ballad, the latest in a long tradition of romance stories that end badly, with passion smothering the life out of love…It’s the epitome of Underoath’s eclectic sound, with five elements that shouldn’t work together but do. After Chamberlain’s scream returns, Gillespie sends the melody into the stratosphere. One of melodic hardcore’s truly transcendent moments…”
For THEY’RE ONLY CHASING SAFETY, UNDEROATH–SPENCER CHAMBERLAIN (vocals), TIM McTAGUE (guitar), GRANT BRANDELL (bass), AARON GILLESPIE (drums/vocals), CHRISTOPHER DUDLEY (keyboards) and JAMES SMITH (guitar)–teamed with James Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Further Seems Forever) to produce; the result is an infectious blend of punk and metal with soaring experimental melodies, electronic textures and heartfelt lyricism.
After their fall outings, UNDEROATH will head back into the studio–with Adam Dutkiewicz (guitarist for Killswitch Engage) and Matt Goldman (Copeland, Cartel) lending a hand–to put the finishing touches on a new album, expected out in Spring 2006.
