Underoath are calling it quits after 15 years but the band will be embarking on a farewell tour and releasing a new retrospective collection. The new release, 'Anthology 1999-2013′, will be released on November 6th and will include two new recordings, 'Sunburnt' and 'Unsound,' which they recorded with longtime producer Matt Goldman.
"Over the past decade or so of our lives, we have been able to live a dream traveling the world, playing music that excites us, and meeting more amazing people than we could have ever fathomed," says keyboardist Chris Dudley. "This couldn't be a more bittersweet moment for us. We have accomplished more, met more friends, seen more places and have just done more than we could have ever imagined, and we really wanted to just go out on the highest note possible. That's why we have put together a group of great friends and musicians for what will be our final tour ever. We are taking every moment of this tour as an opportunity to say goodbye to you all, as well as celebrate what has taken place over all these years. The love we have and the debt of gratitude that we owe to all of you is not able to be measured in any way."
The band will launch their farewell tour in 2013 and they plan to announce more details next week.
"We don't take this very lightly and it's heartbreaking for all of us," vocalist Spencer Chamberlain says of the band's announcement, "but all good things must come to an end. We love all of you and hope to see you again soon."
