ICONIC EMOCORE GROUP UNDEROATH SET TO TAKE MANILA BY STORM
If there is a group that has both continually defied the odds through decades and has defined the sound and shape of the modern rock/genre itself, it’s UNDEROATH – fueling their unique brand of music with both sonic brutality and catchy, anthemic melodies that have always proven to be musically inventive and constantly evolving.
And fans worldwide have proven to be fiercely loyal - particularly Filipinos.
And finally, after decades of waiting, Manila, Philippines will get to prove they are among the greatest in the world, as the Tampa, Florida-hailing band has officially set a course to invade local shores next year, February 12th 2026, as they perform in the country for the very first time at the Skydome, SM North EDSA.
Currently consisting of founder/drummer/singer Aaron Gillespie, keyboardist Christopher Dudley, guitarist Timothy McTague, bassist Grant Brandell and lead vocalist Spencer Chamberlain, UNDEROATH has always taken the road-less-travelled: starting as a Christian band that dabbled with heavier elements like metalcore, death metal and even black metal, the group found worldwide success when it blended soaring, melodic choruses with post-hardcore/screamo/metalcore verses that did not hold back.
Lyrically, the band tapped the vein and seamlessly connected to an entire generation, with the release of 2002’s The Changing of Times (which spawned the hit “When The Sun Sleeps”) and 2004’s They’re Only Chasing After Safety, which produced the gargantuan smash single “Reinventing Your Exit” which catapulted them into worldwide fame, gaining massive airplay from both MTV and radio.
Though the band did go through the proverbial ringer – riddled with member changes (including the shocking departure of Gillespie…) and ultimately their 2012 breakup - the music did not die down one bit; in fact, the band’s legacy was already cemented with its fanbase, and UNDEROATH never seemed to be lost in the consciousness of serious fans of the genre through the years – reason why their comeback in August 2015 was received more than well – and their releases since then have contributed to their expanding legacy which includes having toured and worked with giants like ALICE IN CHAINS, KORN and BRING ME THE HORIZON (to name a distinct few…).
Those who know could say that they are “nothing short of invincible.”
So if you’re serious about music and even more serious about having a good time, be sure to grab your tickets as they go on sale this November 15th at 12PH Time via SM Tickets outlets nationwide and/or online through smtickets.com.
