Underoath is an American metalcore band from Tampa, Florida. Founded by Dallas Taylor on Nov. 30, 1997 (15 years ago) in Ocala, Florida, subsequently its additional members were from Tampa, Florida. The band's line-up consists entirely of Christian members. They are currently signed with Solid State Records, a subsidiary of Tooth and Nail Records, and are the label's most popular group.
After several line-up changes, Underoath's only original member is drummer Aaron Gillespie. With original vocalist Dallas Taylor, they released Act of Depression, Cries of the Past, and The Changing of Times. Following his departure, Spencer Chamberlain became lead vocalist. The band then released They're Only Chasing Safety and Define the Great Line, gaining a certified gold rating and the highest-charting Christian album on The Billboard 200 since 1997 (15 years ago) respectively.
