In ihrer neuen Single „Teeth“ verbinden Underoath die charakteristischen Syntheziser-Experimente mit tanzbaren Drums und fließenden Vocals. Die Metalcore-Legenden planen für 2025 die Veröffentlichung eines kompletten Albums über MNRK Heavy. Vergangenes Jahr präsentierte die Band die Einzelsingles „Lifeline (Drowning)“ und „Let Go“ sowie eine akustische Version, die von Revolver, Alternative Press und Kerrang gelobt wurde.

Zu dem neuen Song sagt Sänger Spencer Chamberlain: “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. 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.”

Zum Entstehungsprozess des Tracks sagt Gitarrist Timothy McTague: “One thing we keep coming back to as we embark on this new chapter of the band is just lean in. Nothing is “not us” and I think we remembered we can do whatever the fuck we want, Instead of trying to write a specific type of song…we just let it write itself.  I think the really difficult and meaningful work as an artist is knowing when to get out of the way and creativity is sometimes letting the song write itself and not trying to mold it into something it isn’t. Now, more than ever, I personally think that songs have an identity and almost a soul if you let them and that’s what “Teeth” is to me.”
