Underoath has become reputed as one of the greatest live acts, earning the respect and admiration of fans worldwide. Since their Australian tour, the band has released their long anticipated album Lost in the Sounds Of Separation. Fans from throughout Sydney banded together at UNSW's Roundhouse to farewell Underoath and show their appreciation for the bands efforts and mentality.

The night opened with coastal heroes, A Silent Fiction, slowly warming the crowd, wrapping up their set with their notorious version of Limp Bizkit's, 'Rollin''. Not one body could escape the excitable energy of the crowd.

As promised the audience was confronted with Underoath's "give it all you got" attitude. As drummer/singer Aaron Gillespie made his way onto the stage the crowd erupted into a sea of cheers. The opening chords of 'In Regards to Self' exploded from the speaker system, the crowd's anticipation and waiting was over, and the sea of people burst into movement. With the rising temperature it was easy to disguise the chaos of the moment. The tempo quickened and you soon found yourself flooded with the lyrical words that Underoath have based their success on.

Lead singer Spencer Chamberlain then brought the crowd back to ground level, reminding us all why it is that we are here. Showing his appreciation for his fellow stage mates, A Silent Fiction (even if he may have forgotten their name to begin with), the long acquired fans and last but for him, most importantly God. The band ending the night with one of their more sentimental songs 'A Boy Brushed Red Living in Black And White' allowing the crowd a profound connection with the band and in fact more so with one another. As 'Returning Empty Handed' fazed out, Underoath put down their instruments and left its Sydney fans craving more.
