Underoath (band)

Underoath Underoath (styled as Underøath or UnderOath) is an American rock band from Tampa, Florida. It was founded by lead vocalist Dallas Taylor and guitarist Luke Morton in 1997 in Ocala, Florida; subsequently, its additional members were from Tampa, including drummer, singer and last remaining original member Aaron Gillespie. The band's current lineup consists of Gillespie, keyboardist Christopher Dudley, lead guitarist Timothy McTague, bassist Grant Brandell, and lead vocalist Spencer Chamberlain. Originally, the band identified as a Christian group; they have since distanced themselves from Christianity. Quotes about Underoath Though their genre is arguably elusive — and can be described across the internet as everything from rock and screamo to Christian metal — Underoath embody post-hardcore. Initially drawing on death metal as an inspiration, they built a band on the bones of the Florida metal hardcore scenes. But as the group saw internal changes, they shifted the sound, forgoing some of the heavier notes for cleaner vocals and rhythm changes.
