it's all dead
2018 - Tonight Alive has let us know that it’s okay to struggle and have those doubts about ourselves and what we feel. In those times when we can’t see past the problem right in front of us, Underworld is a reminder that it can and will get better if we just try to find the light.

2018 - The album is first and foremost, a feeling. It’s a feeling of weightlessness but also of shackling responsibilities as we journey through life, learning and growing with each encounter.
-
Acentric Magazine
2018 - Underworld is a brilliant conglomerate of sing-songy melodies, heavy guitar riffs, and eclectic drum patterns that make each song so distinct from one another, such aspects that are so elemental to Tonight Alive’s classic concrete sound.
