Disease is a painstaking, riff-driven examination of the unshakeable throes of depression. While there are moments of positivity, this isn’t the sound of triumph. This is music about survival.

“The album is a whirlwind of emotion,” Shomo explains. “Crazy highs, crazy lows, and lots of intensity. This record isn’t about winning anything. It’s about trying to even begin to learn how to deal with things. It’s hard to process just how dark you can get, what you can really put yourself through with expectations. It’s like starting from the beginning all over again. At the end of the day, it is a very dark album.”

As always, Shomo recorded vocals, guitars, bass, and drums, and mixed the album himself with assistance from an engineer, now with executive producer (Grammy winner) Nick Raskulinecz, who has also worked with the Foo Fighters and Rush.

To further enhance the emotional realism Beartooth champions, the third full-length album was tracked in a brand new environment, with an old-school urgency. After crafting the songs in his usual basement domain, Shomo made the trip from the familiar comfort of his equipment and isolation in Ohio to Blackbird in Nashville. The famous recording studio was the birthplace of pivotal work from a massive list of legends, tastemakers, and up-and-comers; like Alice In Chains, Taylor Swift, and Greta Van Fleet.

In celebration of Disease, Beartooth will be taking off on a headline tour in the fall. Kicking off on September 14th in Grand Rapids MI the tour takes the band all across the states and back, wrapping up at Express Live! in their hometown of Colubmus OH on November 17th.

“We’ve have been planning this tour for months now and we’re so excited for everyone to see what we’ve put together!! Very stoked to have our friends Sylar along for the ride as well!. Come rock out with us.”
