We were fortunate to grab some time with Spencer Chamberlain, vocalist of Floridian posthardcore giants Underoath and crooner for alt-indie outfit slo/tide.

Underoath’s tenth album, The Place After This One (out this week through MNRK Heavy), finds the quintet at the dawn of a new era, one forged in the search for creative freedom and a firm rejection of expectation.

Spencer chats with us about finding the right producer to realise the group’s collective vision, the tension between the risk of new music and familiar fan-favourite records, and how the last five years have changed his lyrical outlook for better and worse.
