Underoath

Tampa, FL, US · 1997–present · active
Underoath redefined post-hardcore in the mid-2000s by weaving electronic textures and atmospheric production into punishing metalcore on landmark albums 'They're Only Chasing Safety' and 'Define the Great Line.' The Tampa-born outfit's dual-vocalist dynamic between Spencer Chamberlain and Aaron Gillespie gave them a unique emotional range that influenced an entire generation of heavy bands.

Until I Wake

Buffalo, NY, US · 2019–present · active
Until I Wake are a Buffalo, New York metalcore and post-hardcore band formed in 2019, combining melodic hooks, polished production, and heavy breakdowns in a modern active-rock-facing style. The band began with Cody Jamison, August Geitner, Ryan Ridley, and Alex Curtin, later signing with Fearless Records and releasing an early self-titled EP before the full-length Inside My Head. Songs such as Nightmares, Octane, Forsaken, and Messenger show a group focused on emotional accessibility without giving up metalcore's punch. Their music often alternates between clean vocal choruses, screamed peaks, tight guitar chugs, electronic accents, and lyrics about anxiety, betrayal, self-doubt, and mental pressure. Until I Wake are part of a contemporary wave of bands that sit between post-hardcore melody and streaming-era metalcore production, making songs that can work in heavy playlists and radio-adjacent spaces. The band's lineup changes, including a later vocal shift, have altered its presentation, but the core idea remains clear: direct songs with enough heaviness for core audiences and enough melody for broader rock listeners. Until I Wake matter because they represent Buffalo's newer heavy scene in a polished form, turning personal strain into concise, forceful, hook-centered metalcore.
