Info for Below
The fourth full length album from the acclaimed metalcore outfit Beartooth, following on from 2018's Disease.
Like few rock bands today, BEARTOOTH harness the sacred and profane, and purge inner darkness with a dizzying light. Steadily, without pretension, the fearlessly determined and boundlessly creative Midwest powerhouse perfects a sound sought by a generation of bands, equal parts solitary musical confession and celebratory exorcism. Their marriage of colossally catchy choruses and post-hardcore- soaked-in-sweaty-metal is without rival. Its effect is evident by their deeply engaged audience; tours with Slipknot, Bring Me The Horizon, and A Day To Remember; and a RIAA-certified gold plaque.
Below revels in the darker underbelly of traditional metal, soaked in stoner rock tones and doomy dirge. BEARTOOTH offer no cure. The recovery comes in the process; the journey is the destination. As long as the dueling dichotomy of mental health anguish and cathartic creative expression remain bound together, Shomo and his mates will be here to oversee the show. So please, enjoy the ride.

Beartooth
is an American hardcore band from Columbus, Ohio formed in 2012 by Caleb Shomo after he left another metalcore, Ohio band, Attack Attack! The band is currently signed to Red Bull Records and is managed by The Artery Foundation since 2013 along with Shomo's electronic act, CLASS. Shomo sung, produced, and played all instruments on their first release, recruiting the other members of the band later. The band's debut album Disgusting was released on June 10, 2014 and has been widely praised by its listeners.
Caleb Shomo began writing Beartooth songs while he was still in Attack Attack! as "a different musical outlet". Shomo has said the band originally "started as a joke band" with members of My TIckey Home, as a way to make fun, punk-rock, hardcore, wild music, play crazy shows and have a good time without pressure from anything. The band was originally called Noise, but was switched to Beartooth upon realization the name was already taken.
The band have been labeled as a modern hardcore punk band across both their albums (Sick EP & Disgusting) but have also been said to carry influences of nu metal and also metalcore, possibly derived from Shomo's previous band Attack Attack!, renown for their metalcore theme although Shomo decided to abandon the electronic elements. The band is also renown for their use of highly catchy chorus' and melodic verses, giving them high ratings to their music by critics. Caleb Shomo himself was named one of Altpress magazine's 15 best screamers in metalcore as of February 2014, of which he stated that the band's motive was "...to make fun, punk-rock, hardcore, wild music, play crazy shows and have a good time without any pressure from anything."
This album contains no booklet.
