Underoath, the iconic emo/metalcore band, announced today that they will be embarking on a momentous tour commemorating the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking studio album, “They’re Only Chasing Safety.” Aptly titled The 20th Anniversary Tour, this extraordinary event will span across the United States and beyond throughout the summer and fall of 2024. Fans can anticipate a truly immersive experience as each night of the tour will feature Underoath performing “They’re Only Chasing Safety” in its entirety, followed by a unique set curated by fans themselves. 

Via the band’s X page “Twenty. Years. This is going to be like nothing we’ve ever done. ‘They’re Only Chasing Safety’ in full every night plus another set of songs voted on by each city. Every song from every album over the past 20 years will be on the table. Happening on our EU/UK tour as well.”

They’re Only Chasing Safety” stands as a landmark album in the realm of post-hardcore and emo music, released by the iconic band in 2004. Serving as a pivotal moment in their career, the album solidified Underoath’s status as pioneers of the genre, blending aggressive instrumentation with introspective lyricism to create a raw and emotionally resonant sonic experience.

At its core, “They’re Only Chasing Safety” delves into themes of inner turmoil, self-discovery, and the struggle for redemption. Tracks like “Reinventing Your Exit” and “It’s Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door” showcase the band’s ability to seamlessly intertwine heavy riffs with melodic hooks, captivating listeners with their dynamic sound.

The album’s production, helmed by James Paul Wisner, elevates its impact, delivering a polished yet visceral sound that perfectly complements Underoath’s cathartic expression. With Spencer Chamberlain’s passionate vocals and Aaron Gillespie’s emotive drumming, “They’re Only Chasing Safety” strikes a delicate balance between aggression and vulnerability, leaving an indelible mark on listeners.

“They’re Only Chasing Safety” not only propelled Underoath to new heights of success but also left an enduring legacy within the alternative music scene. Two decades since its release, the album continues to resonate with fans worldwide, serving as a timeless testament to the power of music as a medium for self-expression and catharsis.
