Florida-based Christian metalcore outfit Underoath have announced that they will be breaking up in 2013 - after a brand new tour which they will unveil next week.
The six-strong band have enjoyed a successful 15 year career since their formation in 1997, and have released seven studio albums, received two Grammy nominations, and even managed to get their 2006 record ‘Define the Great Line’ to hit #2 in the US Albums chart.
But now, the band are it a day, and will be releasing a brand new ‘1999-2013’ Anthology compilation album - as well as embarking on a 2013 tour - before they part ways next year.
In a statement on an Underoath website, frontman Spencer Chamberlain said: “It’s sad to say that we feel like it’s time to close this chapter, but we have never seen things more clearly. These have been the best years of my entire life, and I owe that to every single person who ever supported this band along the way. This wasn’t a quick decision by any means. It’s just time for us to move on.”
Keyboard player Chris Dudley continued: “Over the past decade or so of our lives, we have been able to live a dream traveling the world, playing music that excites us, and meeting more amazing people than we could have ever fathomed. This couldn't be a more bittersweet moment for us. We have accomplished more, met more friends, seen more places and have just done more than we could have ever imagined, and we really wanted to just go out on the highest note possible.
“That's why we have put together a group of great friends and musicians for what will be our final tour ever. We are taking every moment of this tour as an opportunity to say goodbye to you all, as well as celebrate what has taken place over all these years. The love we have and the debt of gratitude that we owe to all of you is not able to be measured in any way.”
Chamberlain added finally: “We don’t take this very lightly and it’s heartbreaking for all of us. But all good things must come to an end. We love all of you and hope to see you again soon.”
