BEARTOOTH Unveils New Single “Bullshit” from Upcoming Album “Pure Ecstasy”

BEARTOOTH has released a new single titled “Bullshit,” serving as the latest preview of their much-anticipated sixth studio album, “Pure Ecstasy,” set to drop on August 28 via Fearless Records. This new track follows previously unveiled songs “Pure Ecstasy” and “Free,” building excitement among fans.

Caleb Shomo on “Bullshit”

Frontman Caleb Shomo describes “Bullshit” as a familiar theme he has explored in his songwriting throughout his career. He shares, “‘Bullshit’ is a familiar song I’ve written many times. I wanted to revisit the musical style that was the catalyst of so much healing and discovery in my earlier years of BEARTOOTH. It’s an exercise in letting the truth out about what you’re sick of in your own life. Sometimes the easiest way to deal with something is to yell about it as loud as you can. Can confirm, it felt as amazing to do this exercise now as I did when I was 19.”

“Pure Ecstasy”: A New Musical Journey

As the band’s sixth album and their inaugural release with Fearless Records, “Pure Ecstasy” promises to push the boundaries of BEARTOOTH’s sound. The album consists of 11 powerful tracks that encapsulate both chaos and clarity, reflecting Shomo’s journey of personal growth.

Building on Previous Success

Following the remarkable success of their 2023 release “The Surface,” which topped Billboard’s Alternative and Hard Music charts, BEARTOOTH has entered a new realm of creative and commercial achievement. “Pure Ecstasy” is expected to build on this momentum, allowing the band to explore even more ambitious musical landscapes. Shomo confronts both his darkest and brightest moments in real time throughout the album.

Raw Honesty at the Core

The title track “Pure Ecstasy” sets a raw tone for the album, while “Free” serves as Shomo’s most candid expression of his soul to date. This level of honesty has been a hallmark of BEARTOOTH since their inception in Shomo’s Ohio basement in 2013, transforming themes of anxiety and self-destruction into anthems that resonate globally.

Collaboration and Growth

“Pure Ecstasy” represents a significant shift for BEARTOOTH, showcasing a collaborative spirit that has never been seen before in their albums. Early songwriting contributions from Skyler Accord (known for his work with ISSUES and TWENTY ONE PILOTS) helped shape the album’s foundation. Additionally, working with producer Fish (associated with BRING ME THE HORIZON and ARCHITECTS) allowed Shomo to delve into a new level of vulnerability. This album is also notable for being the first where Shomo didn’t perform all instruments himself; drummer Connor Denis contributed significantly during recording sessions at NRG Recording Studios.
