Underoath Talk New Material 'Proggy' Nine Inch Nails-Esque Effects

Popular Christian metalcore outfit Underoath have previewed some of their new material for a MTV reporter who discussed the band's new material:

"The six songs we heard were, for the most part, furiously paced, with lots of layers and almost Nine Inch Nails-esque spooky electronic effects. Several of the songs were anthemic, feedback-filled numbers that build slowly to their thunderous, ear-splitting crescendos, and there were breakdowns aplenty.

"Chamberlain's vocals are intense, passionate and sounding better than ever over the shredding guitars. Aaron Gillespie's adroit drum-pummeling adds even more fury and force to the tracks, which are sprinkled with blistering, steely guitar solos. The songs - which, at times, stop and start on a dime effortlessly - sounded huge and unpredictable, never really heading in those directions you might expect. It's also clear that the band wanted to experiment this time around, injecting almost prog-like elements here and there."

You can check out the rest of the report here.

The album is due out this fall and follows "Define the Great Line".

I sure hope this CD won't suck.
The last one was great stuff.
As for calling them a metalcore band - no.

[guitar_freak91]

metalcore? if someone out there considers these guys metalcore then they're really huge ****tards.

also, they sound really full of themselves with this. Underoath cannot, and will not, ever compare to NIN.
and also, UO does not 'shred'. if they 'shredded' they would be on tour with people like Paul Gilber, Vai, Sattriani, and Pettruci.

this report makes them sound uber-gay, when i in fact really like their stuff.
but someones gotta learn their shit.

bahahahaha they will never be anywhere as respected as nin

Yes, Underoath will never compare to Nine Inch Nails.

Mainly because I doubt Underoath would waste fifteen years hating on themsevles.

Somebody is jealous of Reznor's genius in music =D.

[Fatally Jon]

Absolutely, I am.

One day Underoath might be better than NIN. People are getting scared and telling others it'll never happen. Think about it; they get a hundred times better each time they make a CD. What the f@$# kinda band does that?

These guys are the best out there. There's a lot of musical diversity in their songs. They're probably my favorite band and they don't cease surprising me.
