Underoath: 'Survive, Kaleidoscope' Live CD & Concert DVD Out Today

Seattle, WA. (Top40 Charts/ Tooth & Nail Records) - UNDEROATH have announced five headlining U.S. dates between July 2 and 8 before their summer run on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival. The group hand-selected hip-hop artist POS and the rock group Ill Patriot to support them on the week-long trek. The band discovered POS (aka Steph) after he had sampled one of their songs. UNDEROATH's keyboardist CHRIS DUDLEY explains: "I actually found out about POS from our manager who went to a POS show and heard him sample one of our songs. As soon as I got the CD I was blown away by it- he's a breath of fresh air in hip-hop, a genre I feel is riddled with uninspired acts. We've been trying to hook-up a tour for awhile now and after seeing how he dominated on the Vans Warped Tour last year, we knew we had to make it happen."

UNDEROATH's first-ever live CD and concert DVD SURVIVE, KALEIDOSCOPE is out today via Tooth & Nail/Solid State. Recorded during the group's fall headlining U.S. trek and mixed by Beau Burchell, guitarist for Saosin, the 12-song live CD features nine tracks from UNDEROATH's gold-certified breakthrough album Define The Great Line as well as "A Boy Brushed Red Living in Black and White," "It's A Dangerous Business Just Walking Out Your Front Door" and "Young And Aspiring"-all off of the group's They're Only Chasing Safety disc. The 65-minute live DVD concert film-shot in its entirety at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia, PA-is presented in 16:9 widescreen and offers fans a glimpse at UNDEROATH's unique stage and lighting set up for an ambient visual and audio one-time- only concert experience. The DVD-which features 14 tracks back-to- back-was shot by Art & Industry and edited by Ryan Gardner of the Audible Diversion Group. Producer Adam Dutkiewicz, guitarist for Killswitch Engage, mixed the audio. For more information on SURVIVE, KALEIDOSCOPE or to order it, visit: www.underoathmerch.com.

This summer, catch UNDEROATH-lead vocalist SPENCER CHAMBERLAIN, guitarist TIM MCTAGUE, bassist GRANT BRANDELL, drummer AARON GILLESPIE, keyboardist CHRIS DUDLEY and guitarist JAMES SMITH-as they headline the Hot Topic stage on the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Tour, joining Slipknot, Disturbed, Mastodon, Dragonforce, Machine Head and many others. The Mayhem Tour begins July 9 in Seattle wraps August 19 in Buffalo, including stops near Los Angeles July 13 in San Bernardino, CA and on Long Island in Uniondale, NY August 6 (see tour dates below).
In addition, during the Mayhem tour, the group will perform a series of headlining off-dates with The Red Chord supporting. Next, in early September, UNDEROATH will headline an eight-city U.K. trek, to be followed by dates in Germany, Italy, South Africa and Australia. In October, expect UNDEROATH to return to the U.S. for a headlining run before heading overseas for tours of Central and South America.
For their highly anticipated fourth album, UNDEROATH just wrapped mixing in New Jersey with David Bendeth. The band re-teamed with producers Adam Dutkiewicz and Matt Goldman for the as-yet-untitled disc due September 2 on Tooth & Nail/Solid State. The Florida-based sextet's disarming amalgam of mayhem and melody-plus their depth and ability-propelled their landmark 2006 gold-certified and critically acclaimed album DEFINE THE GREAT LINE to a No 2 debut on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. The combined sales of UNDEROATH's three albums are now over one million copies.
