''Define the Great Line'' is the fifth album by American metalcore band Underoath. The album was released in the United States on June 20th, 2006 along with a limited edition version containing exclusive artwork and DVD. For the recording of this album Underoath's usual producer, James Paul Wisner, was replaced by Adam Dutkiewicz of Killswitch Engage and Matt Goldman, who had previously worked with former labelmates Norma Jean.
The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 charts selling over 98,000 copies in its first week and becoming the highest charting Christian album on the Billboard 200 since 1997. By the end of 2006 the album had been certified gold by the RIAA. The album's lead single "Writing on the Walls" was nominated for a 2007 Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video. The album received generally positive reviews. AbsolutePunk called it a "masterpiece of the genre" and an album that "can never be forgotten" while Allmusic described ''Define the Great Line'' "blistering and occasionally majestic." - Wikipedia
An antidote to the fashionista smarminess currently permeating the metalcore scene, these Christian soldiers march onward with teeth-gnashing ferocity. Expect more electronic embellishments and more linear pummeling.
