It feels like it was years ago that Underoath released
their current album ‘Lost In The sound OF
Separation’ and it also feels that the band
haven’t done anything since the album was
released, I have since found out that the album
was released in September 2008 and the band are
due to release their new single ‘Too Bright
To See, Too Loud To Hear’ on the 20th April
to coincide with the Give it A Name Festival that
they are taking part in.
Underoath have always been a band that I have
enjoyed listening to, you just can’t beat
a bit of Christian hardcore/screamo music and
Underoath are complete champions when it comes
to this style of music, their 2006 album ‘Define
The Great Line’ was awesome and their current
album ‘Lost In The Sound Of Separation’
is pretty damn good as well but nowhere near as
good as the previous album.
Anyway back to the new single ‘Too Bright
To See, Too Loud To Hear’, the song is actually
one of the stronger tracks from the new album
and is a ballad which is actually a masterpiece
with the way that the song starts off really mellow,
with minimum soundscapes and near spoken word
vocals coming from Spencer Chamberlain for the
first 3minutes and then suddenly out of nowhere
some chanting group vocals of “Good god,
can you still get us home” come in on repeat
whilst some marching band style drumming builds
the song up until it finally explodes into aggressiveness
with Spencer Chamberlain screaming his bollocks
off as the rest of the band jam like never before.
It’s like Underoath never took time away
from the music scene, they are still as good as
they ever were, make sure you get yourself down
to one of the Give It A Name shows to watch these
guys rock out, as its the live circuit where they
really make an impact.
4/5
