Underoath have announced a brand-new album, The Place After This One, the follow-up to 2022’s Voyeurist.

The record is due out on March 28 via MNRK Heavy, and is described by guitarist Tim McTague as “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. 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.”

Having teased a bunch of singles lately, Underoath are also sharing newbie All The Love Is Gone, which vocalist Spencer Chamberlain describes as “one of the most out-there songs we’ve ever written. We really wanted to create a track that was drum’n’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.”
