Check out Christian metal band Underoath’s brand new video for their track ‘In Division’ directed by James Edwin Myers! The song is taken from the Florida band’s seventh album Ø (Disambiguation) which will be available online and in stores next Tuesday, November 9, 2010 on Tooth & Nail/Solid State Records.
Underoath is recording new material for the first time without founding member and drummer Aaron Gillespie. Currently recording drums with the band is Daniel Davison, formerly of Norma Jean. The band plans to release the currently untitled new album, the followup to Lost In the Sound of Separation, before the end of 2010.

Counting Weezer and Every Time I Die, this is the third reported touring band accident story this week. Underoath’s crew and equipment van was in an accident, as the band explains in their blog: “Our van carrying all our gear got into a very bad accident. The driver has some injuries, but is stable. However there is no possible way we can make the show tonight. Please pray for our friend Zack that was driving. He’s in pain but he survived which is honestly a miracle if you would have seen the van.”
The tour is currently expected to resume tonight in Lawrence, Kansas.

Underoath has announced that they will be heading to Europe in March of 2010.
Their Facebook post reads:
“Underoath will be playing a show on March 17th at Melkweg in Amsterdam. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, November 28th right here.”
“And if you’re thinking it’s odd that Underoath would only play one show in Europe…you’re right! They will be heading out on a full tour of the UK and mainland Europe next spring, including some cities in countries they’ve never played before…”
“All dates and ticket links will be announced shortly, so keep your eyes peeled and get stoked!”
