Underoath had a few words for Avenged Sevenfold in the latest issue of Metalhammer.
“What’s popular, to a degree, is what pushed me to find something that isn’t popular for Underoath. Chiodos or Escape The Fate who do kind of the same thing – screaming and singing and whatever – do it their way, so we’re like, ‘let’s do it completely the opposite’ because we don’t want to be associated with them.
People might associate us with Avenged Sevenfold because they’re pissed Republicans and ‘so metal’, but they’re a gimmick, they’re a circus. They can’t play and they can’t write a song. What’s worse is the way they look.
If you need to have make-up and crappy names like Synyster Gates to sell records, then you shouldn’t be here. That’s not rock’n’roll to me. Arena rock maybe, but not real rock’n’roll. If you’re basing yourself on how cool you are or how many girls you can trick into thinking your band is cool you can just… take that home.”
Who will win this epic battle?

who gives a fuck. they both suck.
act of depression was the only ok album coming from underoath.
Cries of the Past and Act of Depression were amazing albums. Changing times was pretty good too. Underoath has put in work and done shitty tours and played for 6 people type shows. One of the better live shows I saw was Underoath in the basement of Wagstaffs in like 2002.
Avenge seven fold is clown shoes... I couldnt have said it better myself "a circus." Theyre a joke to music
totally agree with you mr. brooklyn
you're all wrong. A7X doesnt wear make up anymore and their music is way better than "Underoath" will ever be. you just cant except the fact that you like shitty music
