Below by Beartooth

Below, Beartooth's fourth studio album, came out on June 25, 2021, through Red Bull Records, the label the Columbus, Ohio band has called home since 2013. Caleb Shomo, who started Beartooth in 2012 as a one-man studio project playing every instrument himself, produced it with bassist Oshie Bichar, and by now there was a full band around him: Zach Huston on guitar and Connor Denis on drums, both adding backing vocals.
It's heavy and hooky in equal measure, riffs that hit like a slammed door and choruses built for a crowd to scream back, which has always been Shomo's trick with this outfit: more straightforward songwriting than his other work, and a real weakness for a catchy refrain. "The Past Is Dead" is the song from it that made the countdowns. A deluxe edition followed on March 18, 2022, stuffed with an additional 20 tracks, and The Surface came next in 2023.
