Tampa, FL

Christian rock doesn’t have to be all campfire shanties and singalongs. Underoath derive strength and inspiration from their faith and funnel it into powerful, emotional post-hardcore. They mix neck-bursting screaming with more melodic vocals to create considerable emotional depth in concert with the swooping musical peaks and valleys. Albums like 2006’s BEHIND THE GREAT LINE utilize singer Spencer Chamberlain’s elastic vocal range to introduce epic, slickly produced music that splits the difference between My Chemical Romance and Hatebreed. With all the power of the Sermon on the Mount, Underoath strikes a blow for spiritual rock fans everywhere.
