Gold-selling, Columbus, Ohio-based rock band Beartooth have just dropped their new song “Hell Of It”. The track crackles with a kinetic, punk rock energy from start to finish, and it never scrimps on the memorable, melodic choruses the band has become known for. The track appears on Beartooth‘s upcoming fourth studio album, ‘Below’, out June 25 via Red Bull Records.
“‘Hell Of It’ is one of my favorites on the album,” says singer Caleb Shomo. “It’s meant to try and melt as much face as possible. This song was really important for discovering the guitar tone for the album and the use of pedals to expand on parts. The breakdown in this might be my favorite of all.”
Beartooth thrilled their legion of faithful fans last month with a blistering one-two punch! First, they surprise-dropped “Devastation”, and quickly followed with the video for “The Past Is Dead”. The clip finds the band in performance mode, which is its most natural state. The members are surrounded by a stunning display of pyrotechnics and an otherworldly demon named “Barry,” who has been dubbed the official mascot for the album cycle and can be spotted in the album cover art.
Their upcoming album ‘Below’ is a pure distillation of rage — weaponizing its deceptively radio-ready bombast to deliver stone cold truth missives, each packed like a bomb with noisy rock chaos. ‘Below’ also 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 anguish and cathartic creative expression remain bound together, Beartooth will be here to oversee the show.
