Underoath lykkää tulevan albuminsa julkaisua pandemian vuoksi

Underoathin syntetisaattoriguru Chris Dudley kertoo tuoreessa Metalsucks-podcastin jaksossa yhtyeen laittaneen tulevan albumin äänityssuunnitelmat jäihin koronaviruksen riepotellessa musiikkialaa. Alkuperäisen suunnitelman mukaan seuraaja vuoden 2018 ”Erase Me” -albumille piti äänittää jo ennen kesälle 2020 sovittua kiertuetta Slipknotin kanssa:

“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. 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.'”

Dudley kertoo kiertueen peruuntumisen sallineen yhtyeelle lisäaikaa jalostaa materiaaliaan entistä paremmaksi:

“We’ve got a lot of demos. We got together and recorded a bunch of stuff, we’re refining it and we’re just trying to figure out when the right time is to actually put them down and release a thing. Who knows what’s coming after that. There’s talk of rolling all of that into the Observatory and seeing what that looks like, potentially, maybe the recording process, maybe playing new stuff. We’re still figuring all of that out. But we will figure it out and the record is coming along mighty fine and I’m pumped on it.”
