Underoath Debuts Towering New Single, "Teeth"

Underoath Debuts Towering New Single, "Teeth"

- By Ramon Gonzales

The track previews the band's next era and precedes the start of their 20th anniversary tour celebrating They're Only Chasing Safety.

Just days away from kicking off the 20th anniversary tour commemorating the release of their seminal album, They're Only Chasing Safety, Underoath have ramped up their momentum with the unveiling of new music. Following last year's debut of the stand alone singles in  “Lifeline (Drowning)” and “Let Go,” Underoath again prove to be one of metalcore's most forward-thinking, progressive practitioners with the reveal of "Teeth". 

Melding elements of energized dance pop with breaks of unhinged rock fury, the track speaks to the band's willingness to push the boundaries, defy expectations and explore new creative terrain. As they prepare to mark a 20th anniversary milestone, Underoath are continue to look ahead, forecasting what is next and how better to showcase their musical evolution. 

 

 

Vocalist Spencer Chamberlain explained of the new single, “With our new track ‘Teeth,’ we dove into a pretty exciting territory for me—something I’ve always wanted to explore with this band but never felt was possible. It almost has a vibe reminiscent of classic hip-hop samples or something that LINKIN PARK might have done, which I find so cool.

I never imagined we’d actually pull it off in an Underoath song, but it came together so naturally. Lyrically, the song puts you in a scenario of predator and prey, and in this case, I’m the prey. I’m challenging the other person to confront their cannibalistic nature, explaining to me what it feels like to tear through my life as I bleed out in front of them.”

Guitarist Timothy McTague also weighed in on the final result of the latest single, “One thing we keep coming back to as we embark on this new chapter of the band is just lean in. Nothing is 'not us' and I think we remembered we can do whatever the fuck we want, Instead of trying to write a specific type of song…we just let it write itself.

I think the really difficult and meaningful work as an artist is knowing when to get out of the way and creativity is sometimes letting the song write itself and not trying to mold it into something it isn’t. Now, more than ever, I personally think that songs have an identity and almost a soul if you let them and that’s what “Teeth” is to me.”

The debut of "Teeth" previews the band's next era and hints bigger plans of a new full length album via MNRK Heavy tentatively set for next year. 

Underoath begins the 20th Anniversary tour of They're Only Chasing Safety, performing the album in full along with a special, fan-determined set.
