Underoath 's last visit to Brazil, a lot has changed. Members have come and gone, and even after a long hiatus, the band has gained countless new fans both here and around the world. Here in Brazil, many of these new fans mingled with older ones last Saturday, the 27th, and packed the Vip Station in the south of São Paulo.
The task of being the first to take the stage fell to Glória . The band took the opportunity to present their two latest new songs, "Convencer" and "Coração Codificado," which will be featured on their next album, still without a defined release date. Of course, they also played big hits like "Horizontes"—a track that featured Lucas Silveira ( Fresno ), who sang his part live to the delight of the fans present—"Vai Pagar Caro Por Me Conhecer," and "Minha Paz."
Underoath took to the stage and, with “Take a Breath,” from their most recent album, Voyeurist (2022) , reunited with their São Paulo fans, but it was with the second track chosen by the American band that the Vip Station literally shook.
“Maybe we, why don't we,
Sit right here for half an hour?
We'll speak of what a waste I am
And how we missed your beat again”
One of the band's biggest hits, "Writing on the Walls," allowed Aaron Gillespie (Drummer and Vocalist), Spencer Chamberlain (Guitarist and Vocalist), James Smith (Guitarist), Grant Brandell (Bassist), Tim McTague (Guitarist), and Christopher Dudley (Keyboardist) to see and feel the atmosphere that would accompany them until the end of the show. With the huge mosh pit that opened up in the middle of the venue, fans jumped non-stop and sang as loudly as the band itself.
Mixing all their albums into a setlist that travels between the band's different eras, it was possible to see the joy and surprise of some members watching how the audience pulsed and echoed each song chosen by Underoath. While on hiatus, the band gained fans around the world, and with the revival that has affected big names in the scene, Underoath gained recognition as one of the biggest names in Post-Hardcore.
With one of their greatest classics, "A Boy Brushed Red Living in Black and White," the band bid farewell to Brazil, leaving fans eager for the next opportunity to revisit so many songs that are practically tattooed on their skin, hoping it won't be long before that happens.
