Underoath has been a seminal voice in progressive, heavy rock for almost two decades. When you look at the long list of bands that would be considered their contemporaries, very few can match Underoath when it comes to consistently pushing the envelope or the ability to evolve creatively without losing sight of what made them such a special band in the first place. This far into their storied career, the band has unsurprisingly faced their fair share of adversity. But through the trials and tribulations, a commitment to their craft and a sense of accountability rooted in mutual respect for each other has ensured that each new chapter for Underoath continues to shape their legacy in a positive fashion.
In 2020, as a global pandemic shook the foundation of the music industry, Underoath once again blazed a new path forward with their critically-acclaimed Observatory livestream. As interest in the digital consumption of live music seemed to be waning, the band breathed new life into the realm with a complete overhaul of the process – creating something equal parts intimate and monumental. It carried the weight of a sold out arena show translated through vessels consumable in fan’s living rooms. What made it all the more impactful was the fact that the entire initiative was dreamt up and brought to fruition largely by the band’s internal team. Thus, providing another shining reminder of the innovation that the six members on Underoath are capable of pulling together.
On the band’s 2018 Fearless Records debut, Erase Me, we saw a new side of Underoath. Having already established themselves both as melodic songwriters (2004’s RIAA-Certified Gold record They’re Only Chasing Safety) and as ambitious power merchants (2006’s gold-selling Define The Great Line and the majestic follow-up Lost In The Sound of Separation in 2008), the evolution detailed on Erase Me found Underoath using meticulously crafted sonic dialects that painted a vivid picture of how the band had grown artistically in the long layoff since their previous record.
With their shared history of remarkable accolades and trying hardships continuing to shape who the individual members are as people, Underoath is still just scratching the surface of what they can accomplish as a band. There are few acts in the annals of rock history that can say their best work is still ahead of them almost two decades into their career. Fortunately, Underoath falls into that category. As the world opens back up in 2021, the band is deeply committed to living up to the high expectations that fans (and themselves) have come to expect for anything associated with the project. It will undoubtedly be something special to witness as this next chapter in the Underoath story manifests.
Great show! All three bands played well- sound was great. Only problem? Emery's set was too short. Emery deserved to have equal playing time with ABR. I've seen Emery 3x and Underoath twice- everytime both bands were great- especially Emery! First time seeing ABR and wasn't disappointed. If the tour comes to town, attend the show. It was worth driving to Grand Rapids from the D.
Best show I've ever been too, it was my first time seeing underoath and my third time seeing August Burns red. Simply amazing.
THis was a phenomenal show other than the orbit room making everyone stand in the freezing cold for too long.
Underoath: "The Only Survivor Was Miraculously Unharmed", "Anyone Can Dig a Hole But It Takes A Real Man To Call It Home", "Young And Aspiring", "Emergency Broadcast... The End Is Near", "Returning Empty Handed", "Casting Such A Thin Shadow", "You're Ever So Inviting", "Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear", "We Are The Involuntary"(?), "Breathing In A New Mentality"-----Encore-----, "The Blue Note", "It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door", "Writing On The Walls" August Burns Red: "White Washed", "Paradox", "The Truth Of A Liar", "The Eleventh Hour", "The Escape Artist", "Meddler", "Back Burner", "Existence", "Marianas Trench", "Thirty And Seven", "Composure" ***NOTE: Setlists are to the best of my memory in order. ABR's set is almost completely out of order, I believe. I did the best I could, but seeing them twice in two months made me forget alot and mix them a bit.*** August 4th, 2008 -- The last time Underoath took the stage in Clifton Park and Northern Lights. (At least I can be 99.999985% sure.) Other than having seen Aerosmith with my mom (have some laughs now...) several years before at SPAC, that was my first REAL show, and when the concert was first announced (as in the first time my friends and I heard a collective announcement of the show), I had no intention of going. I was still growing into the metal scene at the time, listening to a bit of Killswitch Engage, Senses Fail, As I Lay Dying, Avenged Sevenfold, and Static-X mixes. Some bands I'd listened to before and was always a fan f, but began to listen to at excess. My friend introduced me to Underoath's 'Define The Great Line' album, and I was hooked. Their DVD 'Survive, Kaleidoscope' drew me into their album 'They're Only Chasing Safety', and I was a huge fan of the band within two months. August rolled around, and so did Mayhem Fest. A fan of UO now - I bought a ticket to the Aug. 4 show, and a ticket to Mayhem Fest in nearby Hartford, CT; only twelve days later. I've seen them four times, five including this show. None of them to date were nearly as impressive or well performed than this one. So on to the latest show, December 2nd, 2009: Emery started the show, and having never known them before, I have to say I may start listening to them. Goofy antics included dressing in all winter weight clothing, including heavy winter coats and ski hats. The stage had Christmas decorations (which dissapeared after their set, and TOTALLY dissapointed me!), including colorful streamers and I think Christmas tree but they definately had an inflatable snowman up there which made me laugh. Good set, the crowd got into it, I did too, and their singer managed to end up halfway in the crowd still rocking the hell out. August Burns Red just rolled through recently with Acacia Strain, Impending Doom, and Mychildren Mybride. They headlined that show. They blew Northern Lights apart. It was an awesome time. They didn't headline here, but the setlist wasn't much shorter (my only recollection of a missing song was "An American Dream"). I was actually shocked "Marianas Trench" made the set that night. I always feel like bands go for harder, more mosh heavy sets when they don't headline. August Burns Red drops that cliche like a ton of bricks with this song. To be fair, the intro is the only really "slow" part, but the melodic opening just doesn't scream "metal show" to me. I'm in no way complaining that they played it - it's a personal favorite off the CD for sure. I'm just noting the awesomeness I've seen it twice in the last few months. They utilized the (new?) projector in the bar to shine their album cover on the back wall, elimnating the need for the lame hanging backdrops, and crammed room for the drummers. Awesome. They also used smokers again, and a ton of strobes which just made the set so much better. (I'm trying so hard to not cuss to get my point across a little more.) They opened with "White Washed", my absolute favorite song from their CD, 'Constellations'. They ended with "Composure", another favorite and ironically the song that got me into the band. All in all, I will pay money to see August Burns Red any day of the week, if they're within a reasonable distance. The lights come on for seemingly FOREVER, until FINALLY a darkness overtakes the Clifton Park venue -- and the screen lights up. It's time for the headliner: Underoath. If you've seen the DVD, the opening was similar to the one used there, only it's a continuation of the story they created there. I WISH they would release those videos online under their YouTube account, or on a DVD, or something. I would love to see the full videos and ACTUALLY hear the dialogue clearly to understand it all. It's great art, I need to actually see it and hear it to truly appreciate it! Anywho, it goes quiet, and they NAIL the crowd with 4 tall, multi, mini-bulb, standing lights. They were intense, and the stage lighting and strobes just intensified the awesome sound of the opening screams of "The Only Survivor Was Miraculously Unharmed". I was so ecstatic, and the crowd just exploded into a frenzy. They continued through their set and impressed me with a dark lit set and "Emergency Broadcast... The End Is Near". Spencer played the guitar as well. He even threw it back on for a personal live favorite of theirs, "Casting Such A Thin Shadow". Let me say, that most bands on stage, even the GREAT ones-- I feel don't do for me, what that show did. The lighting, the music, just the technique of the whole thing is on another level of performance. It's not another show with great songs or something. The pits exploded everytime the song called out to the masses with a 'breakdown' (or as close as you can get in an Underoath song). "You're Ever So Inviting" was the song that helped me listen to the band at first. They led straight into that, causing me to scream the lyrics harder than I had all night (I'm positive everyone around me was impressed with my skil - they all seemed to enjoy it, I swear). The rest of the set was nothing short of fantastic, Spencer was more than friendly as always in between songs. The rest of the guys seemed into it, but pretty drained it looked like. Must be exhausted. I was nowhere near dissapointed by anything they had done that niht though. It was all awesome. They took a fifteen second off-stage break (which I saw no point in, as they came right back out with "The Blue Note" and then jumped into their encore (which I'm not completely positive of setlist-wise). In any case, they closed with "Writing On the Walls" which seems to be their favorite closer the last few months, and an awesome one I might say. The only dissapointing thing the entire night ---- was the ridiculous sound set-up. I swear the sound set up in Northern Lights is absolutely awful. The only GOOD show I EVER saw there was the first UO show last year. Ever since, the shows I've seen have awful levels with the drums entirely too loud, vocals low to the floor, and high end guitars. It's like, "Deafen the crowd! Who cares about the music? They know the songs, they can sing louder now!" It's stupid. Fix it. I want to hear Aaron Gillespie, not sing FOR him, because his mic is practically muted. All in all - This show was more than five stars. I'd say fifty. Amazingness. I recommended this from late September, the day the preorder went on sale (when I bought the very first presale ticket - proof attached). I knew it would be great and I wanted everyone to go. In the end, most of my friends were there. The bands performed amazingly, and I can't wait to see them ALL again now. If this tour heads near you - GO SEE IT. PAY WHATEVER! SEE IT!
The show started off with Emery, who played a good set, however, I had not gone to see Emery, what I was really looking forward to was August Burns Red and Underoath. The only band on the bill that I had ever seen live before was Underoath at this current year's warped tour over the summer. They headlined that tour at Cleveland. After Emery's set was over there was a small wait period, as expected where they configured the stage for August Burns Red, when August Burns Red played, they blew the crowd away, it was an amazing set. I love August Burns Red, and I was really hoping they would play Composure and Back Burner, they had a strong set, mostly playing stuff from Constellations; and played all of my favorite songs on Constellations. They ended their set with Existense, Back Burner, and Composure, my 3 favorite August Burns Red songs. At this moment I knew that my money didn't go to waste. The only thing that could make this night better is if Underoath had played When the Sun Sleeps, an older song they had created and played when Dallas Taylor was frontman for the band. When I had seen them at Warped Tour, they played all of my other favorite songs from the albums They're Only Chasing Safety and Define the Great Line. This night, they played a decent number of those songs from those albums which I mentioned above, however, they seemed to focus alot on their latest album, Lost in the Sound of Separation. I never really got into this album, but didn't mind it. What bugged me is that Underoath took an insanely long amount of time to setup, which I gather is because of all the video clip/light effects they focused on their stage. I made sure I had arrived early, so that I can be in the front of the venue and close to the bands. After every Underoath song had finished playing, in the short time before the cheers and them starting the next song or talking to the crowd, or any chance I'd have, I requested really loudly for them to play this one song, screaming over and over again "When the Sun Sleeps" at the top of my lungs. In the end, I came to the small fact that Underoath seems to have given up on their older fans in favor of having their latest album played over and over again with the video effects. They aren't the same band I thought they were, who cared about playing for the people who love them so much.
This entire show was absolutely amazing! The setlist was very heavy but included a good mix of their older stuff. And August burns Red was brutal as always
It was the best concert of my life. It was the best line-up by far.
August Burns Red and Underoath both played flawless sets. But the crowd almost ruined the show for me, Clevelands scene is absoultely terrible.
August Burns Red was amazing! and Underoath even played 2 extra songs at the end! so worth it
Wow. I really don't know if there are words to describe the event. It was amazing from Emery's rendition of "White Christmas" to August Burns Red's "Composure" to Underoath's "It's Dangerous Business..." If this tour hasn't come to your city yet, and you're on the fence about seeing it, don't cheat yourself. It is INCREDIBLE.
It's been a long time since Underoath came to Clevelend, but their return couldn't have been better. The lineup with Emery and August Burns Red was awesome - both sets rocked the place. Even before Underoath took the stage, people were crowding to the front of the pit area, presumably trying to better their chances of getting spit/sweat-on. UO's set was electric, the vocals were on, the guitars were heavy, and the breakdowns were tight. UO even played two additional songs after the crowd chanted, "One more song!" Fantastic show. Well worth the money and hearing loss. I hope that it doesn't end up being another 5 years until we see Underoath back in Cleveland!
One of the the best concerts i have been to. The opening bands, emery and august burns red, were awesome. Really got the crowd going. Underoath was simply amazing, great set list and just a great rock show. One of the most talented bands i have seen and the fact they are christian rock makes it that much better. I recommend seeing them if you get a chance
It was incredible. I'm a long-time fan of UnderOATH and I loved every second of the show, including opening band Emery and middle-man August Burns Red. I definitely believe that if the show is coming somewhere near you, you should go. :)
so the event page said doors at 7..so any reasonable show going person would think, ok, get there around 8 after all of the waiting that bands usually make you do..and poof, showtime! well, i got there at 8 15 and emery was already done playing!! the show ended at 10 45!! august burns red and underoath were worth the price of admission, but still..tell people when the bands start and maybe this wont happen! cause ive gotten to shows at door time and waited an hour and a half for the opener..
show was absolutely incredible...underoath was amazing, and august burns red really got knows how to get the crowd to go wild. All in all, one of the best shows i've been to in a long time.
this was an over all great show! emery just blew me away with just how talented they really are! i couldnt help but smile while they played. ABR was not tha great all their songs sound the same to me. then underpoath amazing..need i say more.
It was good, Croc Rock not my favorite but they put of a good show.
Great show! Way hot! Croc Rock, great venue, up close and personal.
I thought the show was awesome! the line up of "Emery" , "August Burns Red", and "Underoath" was perfect! ABR is a much better band to check out raw! I didn't like their CD as much as their live preformance!! These bands are must see!
Underoath was incredible, as always. The set lists for all three bands seemed a little short, which was disappointing. Had the show been at a different venue, it would've been a little better.
