Underoath is now streaming their new standalone single "Survivor's Guilt" amidst their They're Only Chasing Safety anniversary tour. The single hints at a brand new Underoath full length in 2025 and comes alongside a music video by Jacob Moniz. As for the single, it's all the glitchy goodness you could ever want plus some serious earworm choruses (partially thanks to everything smoothing out from the verses).
"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," said Underoath vocalist Spencer Chamberlain.
"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."
He continued: "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."
Underoath is currently out on tour around the 20th anniversary of their album They're Only Chasing Safety. The tour features Underoath playing They're Only Chasing Safety in full plus additional fan-voted sets. The tour also features openers Static Dress. Tickets are available here.
