Underoath Garners 100,000 Plays & Five-Star Review

Leading single “Desperate Times, Desperate Measures” logged over 100,000 plays in its first 24-hour period on MySpace. Fans can now pre-order the double-disc special edition of Lost in the Sound of Separation–which includes a 40-minute making-of DVD with never before seen footage and interviews with the band, Adam D., Matt Goldman and mixer David Bendeth.

In other news for Underoath, they’ve received their first five-star review for Separation in Alternative Press magazine:

“…The ’sing-scream-harmonize-repeat’ subgenre that’s dominated the scene in recent years is played out. Odds are that Underoath will be the first six people to tell you this, which is why they’ve made an enormous effort to put an ocean’s distance between 2004’s overtly poppy (and semi-generic) breakthrough album They’re Only Chasing Safety and the music they are making today. If one listen to 2006’s jarring Define the Great Line didn’t prove this spiritualized sextet were bent on progressing, Lost in the Sound of Separation will surely prove to the world– at least those who listen to their gospel– that Underoath are one of the most powerful, passionate and creative bands in heavy music today…”

Lost in the Sound of Separation drops September 2nd.
