Raise your hand to Underoath

Ever wondered, what if, like, "The Passion of the Christ" was a band? Well, said group would probably sound like Underoath, who aspire to heaven while sounding like hell.

These Christian metalcore ragers, who alternate gruff, scorched-lung bellows with cleanly sung melodies, have undergone many lineup changes, but one thing always has remained constant: They're as pious as they are pained.

See Underoath at 5:30 p.m. today at the Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas, 3771 Las Vegas Blvd. South. Tickets are $20; call 733-7625.
