Biography

Underoath entered the studio in January 2006 to record their fifth album. Matt Goldman, who produced albums for Copeland and Norma Jean, and Adam Dutkiewicz, guitarist for Killswitch Engage, worked with the band in producing the album, which would come to be titled Define the Great Line.^[5] The album combined the melodic tendencies of They're Only Chasing Safety with a return to the band's metalcore roots.

An unfinished version of the album was leaked onto BitTorrent websites and P2P services months before the release date. Members of the band released a statement saying that the leaked version was an unmixed & unmastered, raw copy of the album which lacked certain elements and the finished product would sound much different.

The band flew to Sweden in the spring of 2006 to make videos for the new songs "In Regards to Myself" and "Writing on the Walls"; the latter was chosen as the lead single for the album and was later nominated for the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video. When Define the Great Line released on June 20, 2006, it sold 98,000 copies in its first week and debuted on the Billboard 200 Chart at #2,^[6] the highest debut for a Christian album since 1997.^[7] In its first four weeks on the chart, it stayed in the top 50. It debuted at #1 on the Christian, Christian/Gospel, and Rock charts.

With the debut of Define the Great Line, Underoath simultaneously released a special edition version of the album featuring special artwork and a DVD that includes another behind-the-scenes movie and a "making of" video.

Define the Great Line was certified Gold by the RIAA on November 11, 2006, representing 500,000 shipped units of the album. It is the second album in Tooth & Nail history to reach that distinction (The first being Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo by MxPx in 2000).

Underoath toured extensively throughout Europe, Australia, and Asia in the fall of 2006 and was on tour with Taking Back Sunday and Armor for Sleep from February to April in 2007. The band also shot videos for the songs "You're Ever So Inviting" and "A Moment Suspended in Time" in February 2007; the former has been released and won MTV's Battle of the Videos on May 23rd.^[8]

Drummer/vocalist Gillespie recorded a side project with Seattle producer Aaron Sprinkle under the name of The Almost shortly after Define the Great Line was recorded; The Almost subsequently was signed to Tooth & Nail and released its first record, Southern Weather, on April 3, 2007. Gillespie plans to tour with The Almost whenever Underoath is not on tour.

Underoath performed a Canadian tour followed by the 'Taste of Chaos World Tour', and also played at Cornerstone Festival 2007. Underoath will be playing again on Warped Tour 2007 from July 24th to August 9th. Underoath have also announced a tour of Australia and East Asia, scheduled for August 2007. In fall of 2007 they are scheduled to do a tour with Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Poison the Well, and Every Time I Die.^[9]
