I had the pleasure of shooting one of my favorite bands, Saosin perform with Underoath on their American Seige Tour at the UCI Bren Events Center the other night. This was my second time watching Saosin and you can certainly say that I was singing along with them throughout their show. The is a certain balance of energy of peace that I find within the lead singer’s voice (at least on the CD) that cannot be matched with any other band.
Underoath on the other hand is pure evil, despite their Christian background. Their set opened with a increasingly loud static track coupled with a grainy short video with showing a man in a gas mask with the words “I am the messenger” written on his hand. As the static grew out of nowhere the drummer came on stage and killed it. What ensued was beyond words.
