SEATTLE, WA. (Top40 Charts/ Tooth & Nail Records) - Coming off their gold-certified Define The Great Line disc, UNDEROATH-who've built their career on being both heavy and experimental-return
September 2 with the succinct and resolute LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION, their fourth album on Seattle's Tooth & Nail/Solid
State Records.
A diverse musical display coupled with the input of six opinionated souls, LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION is their most accomplished album to date.
By trusting their instincts, pushing their songcraft to the limit and meticulously perfecting it with Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, Atlanta-based producer/drummer Matt Goldman and the skilled mixing of veteran David Bendeth, UNDEROATH has soared to new artistic heights with LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION. Catapulting them far beyond their previous works to create a sound that's both epic and intimate, brutal and beautiful, UNDEROATH deliver one highlight after another including "A Fault Line A Fault Of Mine," the melodic reprieve of "Too Bright To See Too Loud To Hear" and "The Created Void," as well as the striking first single "Desperate Times, Desperate Measures." Defying the band's traditional approach, the stunning and uplifting "Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear" is a beautiful near-ballad destined to become a fan favorite.
UNDEROATH-lead vocalist SPENCER CHAMBERLAIN, guitarist TIM MCTAGUE, bassist GRANT BRANDELL, drummer AARON GILLESPIE, keyboardist CHRISTOPHER DUDLEY and guitarist JAMES SMITH-whose last three albums count combined sales in excess of one million copies-have worked diligently to reach this creative apex while building one of the biggest metalcore followings in the world.
