Underneath the Gun is a Christian band from Corona, California known for their work in the deathcore and metalcore genres. Their early sound was predominantly deathcore, as showcased on their initial EP and the album The Awakening. Later, they shifted towards metalcore with the release of Forfeit Misfortunes before ultimately disbanding due to health complications faced by vocalist Harrison DeGrote.
History
Established in 2004 when the members were just 12 years old, Underneath the Gun launched their first EP, You Prepare The Bodies, I'll Get The Ice, in 2006 through This City is Burning Records. That same year, they released their debut full-length album, The Awakening. In 2008, the band secured a deal with Ferret Music, which reissued The Awakening as an EP. Their sophomore album, Forfeit Misfortunes, produced by Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying, was also distributed by Ferret.
Throughout their career, Underneath the Gun toured alongside bands such as Job for a Cowboy, August Burns Red, and Emmure. In 2009, they ceased activity due to DeGrote’s health issues, leading to their withdrawal from the Artery Metal Tour that featured acts like Impending Doom and Carnifex. Following the breakup, guitarist Trevor Vickers became part of Confide, while other members joined Mirror of Dead Faces and Impending Doom.
