Underoath continues to tease a new album, slated for release in 2025 via MNRK Heavy, with a new track entitled "Survivor's Guilt." Accompanying the new track is a music video the band filmed and edited in the span of 48 hours with their social media content director, Jacob Moniz. Check out the video below:
Vocalist, Spencer Chamberlain comments on the new track:
I feel this heavy guilt about making it out alive when so many of my friends didn’t. There have been many times during my recovery when I’ve felt guilty, and that’s a mindfuck in itself, but it’s a real feeling. The opening line explains it pretty bluntly. I’ve been off drugs for 7 years, and I’ve lost 8 friends in 2023 alone to the same demon I was entangled with. It’s a heavy feeling to bear because it’s not like you’re better than anyone else out there—you literally just got lucky. I got my shit together before it was too late and I’m grateful for every single day I wake up now, especially because there was a time when I wasn’t sure I would. The song was really fun to work on. The chorus came from the first idea I threw out there. I love when a song has such a powerful feel to the music that the vocals come out completely naturally. It made the sad heaviness feel even more intense. We’ve also never had a song with this type of swing to it, which is hard to pull off without it feeling cheesy, but I love the way this one hits. I could probably say this about every song on the record, but this is one of my favorite Underoath songs ever.
Guitarist, Timothy McTague comments on the music video:
We had the idea to shoot a music video for ‘Survivors Guilt,’ as we really think the song is special and it needed a proper visual representation to accompany it. We are on the longest tour of our lives and had no time before we left, so we decided to shoot one ourselves with our content creator, Jacob Moniz. We spent the first few weeks of tour talking out ideas, and flew into Denver early on our day off and just went for it. We had a plan, but much like a song, you have an idea and if you let the project speak back to you and let it in the driver’s seat, magic happens. Some ideas we had came out better than we thought, other ideas morphed into shots we didn’t know we could capture. We started shooting at 5:30 PM on Wednesday and had the final cut before our show on Friday. I’m beyond impressed by the band and how we all dug in and sacrificed long hours to pull this off and I’m probably more proud of this video than anything we have done in years.
The band is currently on tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of They're Only Chasing Safety. Check out the dates below:
