Tampa, Florida. (1998 – present)
Underoath formed in 1998 in Dallas Taylor’s (vocalist at the time) bedroom in Tampa, Florida. The band was signed to Takehold Records in 1999 and that year released their debut, Act of Depression. This album was followed a year later by the five-song, forty-minute Cries of the Past; both albums are currently out of print. The band’s lineup during this time changed frequently and bore little resemblance to the current band. Likewise, the band’s music was far heavier in those days, dabbling in grindcore and melodic death metal, along with periodic structure and time changes and electronic elements. These first albums brought Underoath a small but devoted fanbase.
In 2001, Takehold Records was bought out by Tooth & Nail Records; Underoath was subsequently signed to Tooth & Nail’s heavier subsidiary, Solid State Records. The band, which was now a sextet, worked with Cries of the Past producer James Paul Wisner (Further Seems Forever, New Found Glory) on their Solid State debut, The Changing of Times, which was released on February 26, 2002. Frequent lineup changes were the main cause of a slightly more accessible sound for the band; shorter songs and more melodic, verse-chorus oriented song structures replaced the epic twists and turns of their earlier records. Though the change in style caused some long-time fans of the band to criticize the album, The Changing of Times went on to outsell both of their previous albums combined.
In 2003, Underoath supported The Changing of Times through their first stint on the Vans Warped Tour, but their participation in the tour came to a screeching halt when lead singer Dallas Taylor controversially left the band.

Afghanidan: Music is a matter of opinion, how can you be wrong ? Unless of course we're speaking of faulty tags but anyways... Well I think I said it earlier I like their latest albums the best, somehow I don't even admit it being emocore but whatever, I'm not going to argue about that. I know some like their first albums the best, but for some reason they don't appeal to me much. Their latest music is more to my taste.

@hey mr chaos, i totally agree. you should like a band for their music and who they are and not just say that they sucked in one album and were better in another

it is annoying to see such bull shit talked by alot of fans of bands like these. I love UnderOath and enjoy eery release. Admittedly I mostly enjoy the Dallas releases and agree everyone has their own opinion, but at least check the history etc before making silly comments. Like calling old UO generic metalcore? Or saying they went deathcore... GIVE ME A BREAK!

I hate listening to bands who's fans are majoratively retards. They're always wrong, and you can't argue since there's millions of the cunts and you always get outnumbered. I'd love to venture further into this, but I have Lost in Sound playing and i'm getting too sleepy to type.
