05) Beartooth to release Below in June:
Beartooth have announced their new album, Below, will be released on June 25th via Red Bull Records. Pre-orders are available at this location. To celebrate the album announcement, the group released a video for the song “The Past is Dead.”
Frontman Caleb Shomo comments on the album:
“Below is by far my favorite album I’ve made to date. It covers the dark side of dealing with mental strain during the last year. I gave it all I had – musically and lyrically. Is it too dark? Possibly, but it was as honest as I could be about how I felt. I hope everyone is ready to strap in for a wild ride of head banging and rocking.”
Shomo discusses the new single:
“‘The Past Is Dead’ was one of the first songs written for the album. Various versions have been in the bank for about two years now and it really set the tone for the whole album writing process. The video is meant to depict the beginning of the journey to the deepest and darkest parts of my mind, which was the fuel used to make Below.”

Vocalist Blóthar the Berserker comments:
“During the quarantine of 2020 I spent long, lonely days with my hand down my pants, hiding out in a fortress made entirely of rolls of toilet paper, drinking hand sanitizer and watching ‘1000-Lb Sisters’… which is business as usual for me. So I was relieved when I got the call to lay down some vocals on “The Disc With No Name.” We recorded this record over the telephone, which was fine with me, because I can’t stand to be in the same room as the other members of GWAR.”

Side A:
Fuck This Place
Gonna Kill You

I’ll Be Your Monster
