Despite being immersed in the nostalgia of their 20th-anniversary tour for their gold-certified fourth album, They’re Only Chasing Safety, Underoath continues to push forward with fresh material. The Tampa, FL-based metalcore veterans have just expanded their catalog with a new track titled “Survivors Guilt”, releasing the accompanying music video below. This latest release shows the band’s commitment to evolving while celebrating their past.
Spencer Chamberlain, the band’s vocalist, offered the following on his past battles with substance abuse, and how it inspired the song:
“I feel this heavy guilt about making it out alive when so many of my friends didn’t. There have been many times during my recovery when I’ve felt guilty, and that’s a mindfuck in itself, but it’s a real feeling. The opening line explains it pretty bluntly. I’ve been off drugs for seven years, and I’ve lost eight friends in 2023 alone to the same demon I was entangled with.
It’s a heavy feeling to bear because it’s not like you’re better than anyone else out there — you literally just got lucky. I got my shit together before it was too late and I’m grateful for every single day I wake up now, especially because there was a time when I wasn’t sure I would.”
