Underoath have returned today with their new song “Generation No Surrender,” exhibiting the beloved metalcore act’s signature, uniquely original and organic blend of electronic experimentation alongside heavier elements, coalescing and synthesizing to form another fitting entry into the band’s stellar output as of late, which includes the recently released singles “Teeth” and “Survivor’s Guilt.”
Speaking on the new song, the band’s singer, Spencer Chamberlain, says “We wanted to write a song that would be a ripper live — something that moves an entire room, something we can all get behind and relate to. This song is written from the perspective that, if “they” told us the world was ending and the apocalypse was upon us, we wouldn’t be surprised — nor would we run from it. I think we’d face that battle head-on. I feel like we’ve reached a point in our lives where nothing surprises us anymore. We’ve all seen and been through a lot of shit, and I fear we’re never told the truth. That pisses me off. I’m sure it pisses all of us off, which is why I feel like we are all Generation No Surrender. It’s not just about age — it’s about all of us.”
The band is currently on the They’re Only Chasing Safety 20th Anniversary Tour, which has been massively successful with over thirty-five sold-out shows. All dates can be seen below. In addition to special guest Static Dress serving as support throughout the dates in the United States, Underoath has invited a group of friends to open for them at various local stops for the remainder of the tour. These handpicked acts play an important role in Underoath’s history, having been present during the original touring cycle of They’re Only Chasing Safety and a few that have crossed paths with them along the way.
In 2025, Underoath will be visiting Australia for the first time since 2019, performing They’re Only Chasing Safety in its entirety along with an encore set, as direct support for Alexisonfire. Soon after their jaunt in Australia, the band will return to North America for a run of shows supporting Rise Against and Papa Roach as part of their Rise of the Roach tour.
The band will also be performing at the Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival on May 10, 2025, in Columbus, OH, and at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, FL on May 16, 2025. Tickets are available for purchase HERE.
