Sleepwave

Underoath announced their plans to disband during the fall of 2012. Chamberlain said of the disbanding, "It's sad to say that we feel like it's time to close this chapter, but we have never seen things more clearly. These have been the best years of my entire life, and I owe that to every single person who ever supported this band along the way. This wasn't a quick decision by any means. It's just time for us to move on."{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/under-ath-announces-plans-to-disband/|title=UnderØath Announces Plans To Disband - Blabbermouth.net|work=BLABBERMOUTH.NET|date=2 October 2012|accessdate=June 10, 2015}} Underoath played their last show in 2013, and shortly after Chamberlain announced his intentions to start work on a new band, Sleepwave. They released their debut single "Rock and Roll is Dead and So Am I" in October of that same year.

The overall album has "retained the muscularity of Chamberlain's former band while introducing ambient and industrial textures into the mix, resulting in a melodic and accessible sound that leans harder toward the modern hard rock spectrum."{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/6225903/sleepwave/biography|title=Sleepwave|work=billboard.com|accessdate=June 10, 2015}} "Through the Looking Glass" charted at number 37 on the Mainstream Rock Songs chart.{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/6225903/sleepwave/chart|title=Sleepwave|work=billboard.com|accessdate=June 10, 2015}}

Chamberlain returned to Underoath in 2016. He confirmed that Sleepwave has been "done since 2016" via Twitter/X, stating that "It became too toxic" and that he "didn't need two heavy projects at the same time".https://x.com/wschamberlain/status/1468259660616638466
