Underoath’s New Album ‘The Place After This One’ Coming Next Month, New Single Out Now
Florida-based metalcore outfit Underoath made a pretty big announcement today, as they revealed that their next album will be titled The Place After This One and will be available on March 28 via MNRK Heavy.
Described as a “stunning document and a remarkable collection of songs” in the accompanying press release, the album will feature 12 new songs, with one including a special guest spot by Mastodon’s Troy Sanders.
Speaking of the drive behind the album, guitarist Tim McTague said The Place After This One will reflect on a lot of the band’s personal history and trials.
“The Place After This One is a multi-faceted idea. The fact that we grew up so sheltered and spiritual, and are trying to reconcile how we grew up against what we see now in the new age. Underoath, albeit intact and the same, is simultaneously so different. Our band has gone through a lot of chaos. I think there’s something beautiful about this idea of not just abandoning everything when things get weird. Whether it be your faith, or your band, or your marriage, or your relationships. The idea that there is a place after this one, even if it’s with the same people or it’s with the same God, or it’s with the same town. Things compound when it’s good, and you just cut out the things that are bad.”
In addition to the album’s announcement, Underoath dropped the new record’s first single, “All The Love Is Gone,” along with an accompanying music video. You can check out the track and video below. Speaking of the song itself, vocalist Spencer Chamberlain called it “one of the most out there songs we’ve ever written.”
“We really wanted to create a track that was drum-and-bass-driven, kind of in the vein of The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Noisia, etc. We also pulled elements from Justice and The Streets. There’s a darkness dfssssto those artists that’s so heavy and interesting to me, and we really wanted to embrace that on this song. To me, this is kind of our version of that—sharing a lot of those elements and vibes but still keeping the heaviness of Underoath at its core.”
“Lyrically, I wrote it from the place I used to go whenever something went wrong in my life, which I think we can all relate to. It’s a place I now consciously avoid when things fall apart. But it’s that moment when everything in your life has fallen apart, you’re at the bar, and you just don’t care anymore. Maybe it’s the end of a relationship, the loss of a friend or family member, or you just got fired—whatever it may be, we’ve all had a night like this. It’s a scary feeling, and it’s a place I never want to go back to, but that’s the song in a nutshell. It’s pretty on the nose, so to speak, but I felt like I needed to write it down to remind myself to never go there again.”
