UNDEROATH COMES TO TORONTO FOR LAUNCH OF NEW ALBUM

‘LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION’

ALBUM OUT ON SEPTEMBER 2 AND TORONTO CONCERT AND MTV LIVE PERFORMANCE ON SEPTEMBER 3

As the final notes ring out on LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION, it’s clear that UNDEROATH–who’ve built their career on being both heavy and experimental–have delivered their most accomplished album to date. Succinct and resolute, there’s no denying the power of LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION, due out September 2 on Tooth & Nail/Solid State/EMI Music Canada as the follow-up to 2006’s rapturously received Define The Great Line.

In celebration of the launch of the new album, UNDEROATH will be in Toronto on Wednesday, September 3 for a show at the Phoenix Concert Theatre (tickets still available at www.livenation.com). While in Toronto the band will also be doing a live performance on MTV LIVE (airing at 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.) and two additional songs will be posted on www.mtv.ca. UNDEROATH fans can get free tickets to be a part of the MTV Live audience next Wednesday by calling 1-888-491-6888 or emailing to liveaudience@mtv.ca.

A promotion is also underway where the first 300 fans to purchase the new CD at participating Toronto Area HMV’s will get a wristband for a Meet & Greet with UNDEROATH when they are in Toronto on September 3. All final details are posted at emimusic.ca/underoath.

UNDEROATH–whose last three albums count combined sales in excess of one million copies–have worked diligently to reach this creative apex while building what may be the biggest metalcore following in the world. “Breathing In A New Mentality” launches the new record with an ingenious false start that gives way to innovative ferocity. “We wanted people to hear it and have a first impression like, ‘Man they must’ve cut a lot of corners,’“ says guitarist TIM MCTAGUE of the disc-opener. “And then it kicks in and your entire car, blows up. We wanted to come out, blow them away. Just shut people up. And in doing that, we’ve made the beginning of the record very memorable.” Beyond exceptional, it’s a breathtaking brain-rattling affirmation that the six men of Tampa, FL-based UNDEROATH–lead vocalist SPENCER CHAMBERLAIN, guitarist MCTAGUE, bassist GRANT BRANDELL, drummer AARON GILLESPIE, keyboardist CHRIS DUDLEY and guitarist JAMES SMITH–have taken a huge creative step forward. The group recently shot an incredible video for the scathing “Desperate Times, Desperate Measures” with director Walter Robot (Milosh “The City,” Modest Mouse “Missed the Boat,” The Pinkertones “Sexy Robot”).

By trusting their instincts, pushing their songcraft to the limit and meticulously perfecting it with Adam Dutkiewicz (Killswitch Engage) and Matt Goldman (Copeland, The Chariot), the band has soared to new artistic heights with LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION. “The Created Void” offers a melodic reprieve. “Naturally we are a heavy band and we want to put our best foot forward in that respect, MCTAGUE says. “I love ‘The Created Void,’ one of the most melodic songs we’ve ever done, the bottom line is everything sounds the way it does on the record because we agreed that’s how it should sound, whether it’s heavy or melodic.” “We’ve had to work hard at being open-minded about our own art and let it flow naturally”, MCTAGUE continues. “We love melodies, but our instincts usually go in the other direction.”

Defying the band’s traditional approach, the uplifting “Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear” is a beautiful near ballad lighter destined to become a fan favorite. “I originally wrote the music without intending for it to be a quote-unquote accessible song,” MCTAGUE says of the memorable soundscape. “It was a slow-paced, slowed- down jam-out song.” With such a diverse musical display coupled with the input of six opinionated souls, the completion of LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION–thanks in part to the skilled mixing of veteran David Bendeth–is an epic achievement. “We laboriously toiled over this record,” GILLESPIE admits. “Even when we’re in the studio, I don’t think we are all ever totally happy. There is constant change and flux until we’re done. We always push ourselves to make the best music imaginable.”

The band recently headlined the Hot Topic stage of the Mayhem Tour, joining hard music heavyweights Slipknot, Disturbed, Mastodon and Dragonforce, among others. After their Toronto date, UNDEROATH will headline an eight-city UK trek, before heading to Germany, Italy, South Africa and Australia. Then in October, the band will kick off a major U.S. headlining tour, followed by dates in Central and South America.

What was the most annyoying thing that put Axl Rose of Guns N Roses into a temper tantrum during tour?

What was the most annyoying thing that put Axl Rose of Guns N Roses into a temper tantrum during tour?

Most people said singing during the concert. A comment was:

I saw him in concert. He changed his clothes a bunch of times between songs (sort of like I use to do when I was 14…), appeared onstage 2 or 3 hours late- it was like 11:30pm and then he told the audience we were really bringing him down.
That’s entertainment.
