American metalcore group Underøath has announced plans to disband next year after 15 years of existence. The band will release a career retrospective album titled Anthology 1999 - 2013 with two brand new songs and announced a farewell tour with mewithoutYou, As Cities Burn, and LetLive.

"It's sad to say that we feel like it's time to close this chapter, but we have never seen things more clearly," says vocalist Spencer Chamberlain. "These have been the best years of my entire life, and I owe that to every single person who ever supported this band along the way. This wasn't a quick decision by any means. It's just time for us to move on."

Underoath will cap their run with the release of a career retrospective album, Anthology 1999-2013 - released November 6th on Solid State Records. Anthology 1999-2013 is an essential collection of songs that celebrates the evolution of the band. Pushing Anthology 1999-2013 beyond a mere retrospective, the release gives fans one last chance to hear newly recorded material in the form of new tracks "Sunburnt" and "Unsound". Recorded with longtime producer Matt Goldman, the two new songs represent the final material recorded by the band.

"We don't take this very lightly and it's heartbreaking for all of us," 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."
