Conceived\, construct ed\, and unleashed by one man in a basement studio. Now\, even as the band has grown to become a headlining festival act\; cracked Billboard’s Top 25\; lit up SiriusXM radio\; and were crowned Breakthrough Band at both t he Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards and Loudwire Music Awards\, Beartooth ’s music and message remain intensely personal.\n\nThe fierce dedication to honesty\, authenticity\, and raw fury demonstrated by Caleb Shomo is a t the center of everything Beartooth represents. The music he’s crafted in his darkest hours transcends\, connecting with the broken hearted and i solated around the globe. Songs like “In Between\,” “Hated\,” “T he Lines\,” and “Sick of Me” have been streamed hundreds of millions of times. These are anthems for the downtrodden and disconnected\, celebr ated with sing-alongs on international tours\; supporting Slipknot\, Bring Me The Horizon\, or Pierce The Veil\; on the Kerrang! Tour with Don Broco in the UK\; at major festivals like Download and Rock on the Range.\n\nWh at began as artistic self-medication for a single multi-instrumentalist an d producer\, with no career aspirations or grand plans\, quickly caught fi re. The Sick EP (2013)\, Disgusting (2014)\, and the sophomore-slump shatt ering Aggressive (2016) comprise a blunt audio journal\, chronicling Shomo ’s battles with his own demons.\n\nAs Beartooth became a fully functioni ng band\, bringing these intimate musings to the masses\, that purity rema ined\, via a consistently isolated creative methodology.\n\nThe stark look inward further intensified with September 28\, 2018’s Disease.\n\nThe t hird full-length album from Beartooth is a painstaking\, riff-driven exami nation of the unshakeable throes of depression. While there are moments of positivity\, this isn’t the sound of triumph. This is music about survi val.\n\n“The album is a whirlwind of emotion\,” Shomo explains. “Cra zy highs\, crazy lows\, and lots of intensity. This record isn't about win ning anything. It's about trying to even begin to learn how to deal with t hings. It’s hard to process just how dark you can get\, what you can rea lly put yourself through with expectations. It's like starting from the be ginning all over again. At the end of the day\, it is a very dark album. ”\n\nEven as Shomo and his bandmates played to sold-out crowds across Eu rope\, the battle against mental illness and childhood issues returned\, a nd the seed for Disease was planted. The title track was the first song wr itten for it\, setting the overall tone.\n\nAs always\, Shomo recorded voc als\, guitars\, bass\, and drums\, and mixed the album himself with assist ance from an engineer\, now with executive producer (and Grammy winner) Ni ck Raskulinecz\, who has worked with Foo Fighters and Rush. To further enh ance the emotional realism Beartooth champions\, the third full-length alb um was tracked in a brand new environment\, with an old-school urgency. Af ter crafting the songs in his usual basement domain\, Shomo made the trip from the familiar comfort of his equipment and isolation in Ohio to Blackb ird in Nashville.\n\n“When I make a record at home\, I feel really safe there\,” Shomo confesses. “Going into Blackbird\, there was a lot of f ear. Thankfully\, going into that environment just brought out the best. I t made the songs feel even more real. It was all worth it.”\n\nThe famou s recording studio was the birthplace of pivotal work from a massive list of legends\, tastemakers\, and up-and-comers\; like Alice In Chains\, Tayl or Swift\, and Greta Van Fleet. Determined to challenge himself in new way s\, Shomo kicked aside his drum samples and digital guitar tones in favor of rich analog vibes\, banging out take after take\, to capture the feel o f classic favorites like AC/DC and Motörhead.\n\nTen to twelve hour days\ , six days per week\, sweating and screaming through performances\, result ed in gargantuan surefire Beartooth bangers like “Used and Abused\,” “Manipulation\,” and “Enemy\,” easily among the strongest songs in the catalog. “You Never Know” was written in collaboration with produ cer and songwriter Drew Fulk (Fit For A King\, As I Lay Dying)\, after sev eral hours of conversation in a coffee shop. The album closer\, “Clever\ ,” was written in an afternoon at the studio\, a fittingly sorrowful boo kend to Beartooth’s darkest album.\n\n“Depression is something that's just ‘in your head\,’ there's no reason for it\, so it ‘should’ be easy enough to just get over\, but I can never do it. It’s something un shakeable. I can’t make it work\,” Shomo says. “I wanted to write an album about that. Disease really encompasses everything emotionally that I wanted to convey.”\n\nShomo’s commitment to raw and personal truth w ill always define Beartooth. “It's very important that I stay honest wit h every song that I write. I didn't even mean to start this band. I wrote a couple songs and I felt way better afterward. Especially with this recor d\, there are no compromises. It is exactly what I wanted to make.”\n\nW ith Beartooth\, what begins each time as the personal expression of one ma n is shared with his bandmates\, then through the power of musical inspira tion and connection\, is given to the world then returns to its creator\, to begin the cycle anew.
