coronaviruspandemic derailed Underoath’s plans in 2020. After various tour delays, Slipknotcanceled their entire summer tour run with Underoath because of the COVID-19 crisis. As a result, Underoath had to rethink their plans last year. Back in November, Metal Sucks that Underoath actually planned to release their next album last fall. They originally anticipated recording the new LP ahead of their tour run with Slipknot. However, those plans quickly changed. “Full disclosure, our plan initially was to hit the studio before the Slipknot tour last summer and have a song out on that tour and probably put the record out in the fall,” he said. “We kind of had this whole thing lined up. But then Covid came into the picture and we’re realizing, ‘Man, [we are] under no time table to put this thing out.’”
