Underoath is a 4-headed band that started on the 13th of May 2007 and are signed at Metal Start-Ups. They're a Christian Metalcore band from Brussels and later this year their first record will come out. The name of the record is still a secret. Underoath is now on a worldtour that will end the 17th of September with a big concert in Rome. Afterwards they will go on tour with Dire Wolf, one of the best Heavy Metal-bands in the world. The idea to go on tour together came of Derrick Watson, frontman of Dire Wolf and also Reinier's best friend.
The band's founder is Reinier Keune. He got into Heavy Metal and on the same day he contacted Jannes Hovius. Jannes lived in Brussels, just like Reinier, and he decided to join the band.
After that Dimitri van der Wouden joined the band but soon he was kicked out because of his depression. A few weeks later Pennti Pitkänen joined Underoath but after 3 days he left the band because he was addicted to heroin.
One month later the experienced Glenn van Melis joined and also Géraud Moulinier decided to join the band.
Underoath has now become a stable band that are ready to go to the top. Currently frontman Reinier Keune is writing songs for the debutalbum and later this year Underoath will go in to the recordstudio and make their first album.
