Underoath - Define The Great Line

Coming on the heels of 2004’s They’re Only Chasing Safety, Define The Great Line saw Underoath pivoting towards as a a stark contrast to the pop-leaning trends that were taking over heavy music at the time.

Featuring fan favourites like “Writing On The Walls”, “In Regards To Myself”, and “You’re Ever So Inviting”, Define The Great Line defied expectations when it debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. It is widely regarded as one of the definitive heavy records of the early 2000s, solidifying Underoath’s legacy as one of the most influential bands of the genre. 

The heart of their sound, which delivers naked vulnerabilitiy with thrilling force and cinematic lushness, can be heard in generations of bands who’ve pursued their trail. But Underoath refused to sit still. 

Walking an artistic tightrope between immersice access and isolationist otherness, Underoath owns the space between huge choruses and forward-thinking heaviness, both on record and onstage.
