The hookfest features Ghostemane, a collaboration that came about when both parties realised they were mutual fans of each other’s work.
Guitarist Tim McTague adds, “When we were writing Cycle, I knew that I wanted to have a feature on the bridge. I wanted something abstract and ideally in the hip-hop genre. I heard a cadence that wasn’t natural to our band. Ghostemane came up in convo, and we all loved the idea. I had been listening to him for a minute, and the connection between Underoath / Lil Peep put me on to the south Florida squad like Pouya, Ghostemane and Lil Peep (RIP).”
“We tried to get a hold of him for weeks, And one day Aaron called me and said that Ghostemane randomly Instagrammed him to tell him that he appreciated what we do, and Aaron replied back that we were trying to get a hold of him to be on a track on the new album. The floodgates opened, all the managers and artists started connecting, and I sent his manager the song, and a week or so later, we got what was stated as ‘I did a ton and threw the sink at it, let me know your thoughts.’ We listened to the first thing he sent and just said, “that is it”. I don’t think any of us knew what we were looking for in the feature, but when I heard the take, lyrics and energy, we were like, ‘oh shit. This is perfect.’”
Voyeurist is the first entirely self-recorded Underoath album. The band has also called it their most collaborative work to date. Fans can check out all pre-order options here, including a super sick deluxe animated vinyl variant.
