As Underoath prepares to kick off the They’re Only Chasing Safety 20th Anniversary Tour later this month, the group has shared their biting new single, “Teeth.”
“With our new track ‘Teeth,’ we dove into a pretty exciting territory for me—something I’ve always wanted to explore with this band but never felt was possible,” Chamberlain shares. “It almost has a vibe reminiscent of classic hip-hop samples or something that Linkin Park might have done, which I find so cool. I never imagined we’d actually pull it off in an Underoath song, but it came together so naturally. Lyrically, the song puts you in a scenario of predator and prey, and in this case, I’m the prey. I’m challenging the other person to confront their cannibalistic nature, explaining to me what it feels like to tear through my life as I bleed out in front of them.”

“One thing we keep coming back to as we embark on this new chapter of the band is just lean in,” guitarist Timothy McTague adds. “Nothing is ‘not us,’ and I think we remembered we can do whatever the fuck we want.”
A culmination of pummeling breakdowns and vocal interplay between Spencer Chamberlain and Aaron Gillespie, the new release signals a bold new chapter of experimental exploration for the post-hardcore heavyweights. Check out Underoath’s new single, “Teeth,” below.
