[HARDCORE] In April, post-hardcore band Underoath released Erase Me, their first album in eight years and first since reuniting in 2015. It’s also the first album since 2008’s Lost in the Sound of Separation to feature founder, drummer, vocalist, and the band’s most recognizable member, Aaron Gillespie. The 34-year old vocalist left the band in 2010 and after releasing a subsequent album, Ø Disambiguation, Underoath broke up in 2013. Though that two year gap may not seem like much, it’s really been nearly a decade since Underoath has been whole. Erase Me begins with a lo-fi drum beat quickly coming into focus—perhaps signifying Gillespie’s return—as it bursts into frantic, bombastic post-hardcore on “It Has to Start Somewhere” that makes it pretty clear that they’re picking up where they left off. The Tampa, Florida-based band will return to Western New York for a show at the Rapids Theatre in Niagara Falls on Saturday, May 12 with Dance Gavin Dance, Veil Of Maya, and Limbs.
