Metal for the 21st century 7-7-07

In case you missed the last bulletin...

Hello my dear friends, I am writing to you very sleep deprived. Today is 07-07-07 the day of God, which is the day since 06-06-06 that we decided to name 777 as national UnderOATH day (God's favorite band probably) (http://www.myspace.com/nationalunderoathday

Today I hope is a day where you will play UnderOath at home, at the workplace, or at a block party at your street. If your guardians don't like it then take a machete and cut off their ears only jk-ing guys, and if you think your boss doesn't like it then call in sick or quit...I know I will because UnderOath has given me wondrous times since Act of Depression to Define The Great Line (produced by a founding member of the blue man group and killswitch engadge) and everywhere in between. Tell all your friends; plus what band is good enough to have a whole day to themselves----NOT THAT LAME BAND RUSH THAT'S FOR SURE!

Well I advise you buy tickets to warped tour and see them this summer as I have last summer (where I caught someone's bloody lip piercing in the mosh pit) or buy all of their albums or at least the newest dvd entitled 777, which I believe is released today. If you can't afford $285 for one of the 1000 only copies of Cries of the Past don't take it off limewire because stealing good music is a crime, you should instead bootleg shitty Rush albums and sell them to stupid Rush fans like Max Smiley.

UnderOath has been able to tour 250-300 shows a year, sell 350,000 copies of They're Only Chasing Safety without tv or radio support--and only 20,000 of these were sold at religious music stores--which means everyone loves them. Not only become the highest selling Christian band since 1997 but the highest selling metal band too. Their latest Album Define The Great Line sold 98,000 copies it's opening week, which got it #2 on the billboard charts, #1 on the Christian charts, and #1 on the metal and rock charts--that means it placed higher than Hawthorne Heights, Taking Back Sunday, Death Cab for Cutie, Atreyu, Oasis, and many other great albums from your favorite bands even Rush's latest album.

Their first two albums aren't made anymore and have a limited supply left, but they were released when Aaron Gillepsie, the drummer, was only 16--they are now only 23 and have released 5 albums, 3 dvds, and been on warped tour and taste of chaos main stage many times. They are all straight edge and raised 75 grand for orphans in two hours (something Rush couldn't do). They are the first Tooth and Nail artist to go "gold" beating out the juliana theory and reliant k. Their latest album DTGL has reached 500,000...something the latest rush album hasn't achieved yet. For all you emo's out there My Chemical Romance borrowed their shirts and got food from UO when they started out. Their purevolume account, http://www.purevolume.com/underoath has close to 10 million plays, probably even more on myspace and for their old stuff http://www.purevolume.com/underoathformerband

some other religious hxc bands you might enjoy:

He is Legend

This Runs Through (Spencer's old band)

Sullivan (Spencer's brothers band)

Haste the Day

Demon Hunter

Fleexthexseen

Martyr's Prayer (Tim's brothers band)

Paramore (hot lead singer)

The Devil Wears Prada (definitely pwns drop dead gorgeous)

Switchfoot

The Almost (Aaron's latest project)

Maylene and the Sons of Disaster (Dallas Taylor is awesome)

Jesus Wept

Flogging Molly

or anything on Tooth and Nail like Anberlin

NOFX still rules even though they make fun of UO
I stumbled upon a what seemed to be a well done underoath countdown day site where a lot of people went to and checked back often and when it finally got here the biggest prank in america unfolded--the user posted pictures of shit eaters...urgh damn we all got pwnd--I was uber excited about UO day and I got f--ing shit eating pictures. That's just wrong, but still to all the fans happy 7-7-07, it only comes once a millenium.
