Sydney, AU. (EMI MUSIC Australia) - It is one of the year's big rock breakthroughs. The explosive UNDERØATH who 'construct dense, chaotic metal-core that emphasizes the struggle inherent in faith' (Spin, July 2006) have entered the US Billboard Top 200 Album Chart at No 2 with over 97,000 copies sold of their newly released and much-anticipated DEFINE THE GREAT LINE album. DEFINE THE GREAT LINE will be released in Australia on July 1st and will be available in regular and special editions. The special edition version includes an 8-panel digi-pak with booklet, exclusive artwork and bonus DVD with behind the scenes, in studio and making of the album footage. The Billboard chart debut comes on the heels of UNDERØATH's 350,000-selling 2004 indie smash THEY'RE ONLY CHASING SAFETY. They've solidly built their fan base from incessant touring and their unrelentingly intense live shows, establishing an unbreakable bond with their fans. 'We've always been guided by our artistic spirit-you've got to stay fearless-and the encouragement and support we've received from our fans. They're rabid, and we're proud of them!' Crafted with the help of Atlanta-based producer/drummer Matt Goldman-who helped pour the rhythmic foundation-and Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, DEFINE THE GREAT LINE is a mind-blowing and cohesive album. While marking an artistically dark turn for the band, it remains undeniably accessible. DEFINE THE GREAT LINE available in Australia July 1st. You can also catch UNDERØATH's live performance in October as they head our way for the TASTE OF CHAOS tour. (All the tour dates are up in the Tours section) DEFINE THE GREAT LINE / IN STORE JULY 1
