Underoath have announced a new album titled The Place After This One, set for release on March 28th. The band has also released the new single “All the Love Is Gone.”
The Place After This One is the Florida band’s 10th album overall, and the follow-up to 2022’s Voyeurist. “All the Love Is Gone” follows a string of 2024 singles that will all appear on the LP, which features a guest appearance by Mastodon’s Troy Sanders on the song “Vultures.”
Guitarist Tim McTague stated of the new album, “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.”
He added, “Our band has gone through a lot of chaos. I think there’s something beautiful about the 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.”
The song “All the Love Is Gone” marks a bit of a sonic departure from Underoath’s metalcore/emo sound, adding a drum-and-bass vibe.
Singer Spencer Chamberlain noted that the single is “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 to 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.”
He added, “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.”
Underoath will support Papa Roach and Rise Against on a spring US tour kicking off March 20th in Houston. Pick up tickets here.
