It's official – Underoath is back with their first new album in eight years, Erase Me.
The album is out April 6 through Fearless Records. The album was produced by Matt Squire (Panic! At The Disco, 3OH!3) and mixed by Failure's Ken Andrews. Drummer/vocalist Aaron Gillespie commented on the band's return:
“We’ve had success and we’ve come through a lot of waters. There’s been 11,000 things we’ve been through so you would think, almost rhetorically, ‘What do you need now?’ All of us are finally in that place in our lives where the only thing we care about is inclusion for everybody—for the world. For me, exclusion is the scariest thing in the world.
And I think Underoath coming back now with a new record—which none of us thought was possible—we want people to know that this is your music and you can feel however the fuck you want about it. I just want to prove that we are doing everything in the most honest way we ever have. This is the healthiest we’ve ever been as a group of people, as musicians, and in our worldview.”
Here's the new single, which is pretty damn heavy.
