Gold-selling, Columbus, Ohio-based rock band Beartooth has released the deluxe edition of 2021’s critically acclaimed, No. 1 album, Below. The band will also be launching a pre-order for the Below Deluxe Limited Edition 3-LP set with four variants, available via their website.
For this 32-track edition, Beartooth added two new bonus tracks: “Fighting Back” and “Permanently Sealed,” as well as a refreshed version of their current radio single, “Skin(Alternate Universe Version),” which mixes acoustics and electrics. It also includes the full, 17-track live recordings from the Live From The Journey Below livestream, recorded at the historic Clyde Theatre in Fort Wayne, Indiana in July 2021.
Vocalist Caleb Shomo has this to say about the bonus tracks:
“‘Fighting Back’ and ‘Permanently Sealed’ are undoubtedly experimental songs for Beartooth. I really tried to push the boundaries of what I’m doing with guitar, what I’m doing with my voice, and what I’m doing with the songwriting. The outcome may not have made the first cut of the album, but I think they’re definitely worth hearing and play a big role in how the record ended up turning out.”
He continues, “I think it can be really easy to get lost in taking yourself too seriously. And ‘Skin (Alternate Universe)’ is ultimately about having fun. I really wanted to take a song that was incredibly dark and put a really light twist on it and do something that Beartooth would never normally do, totally focused towards our die-hard fans that have been with us and could use something a little bit lighter.”
Tickets are also available for Beartooth’s return to the road this spring on The Below Tour Part 2. The second leg of the headline tour kicks off on March 26 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and runs through May 3 in Louisville, Kentucky. All dates are below. Also appearing on the bill are Silverstein, The Devil Wears Prada, and Erra. The trek follows the original Below Tour, which took place this past summer and was sold out at every turn.
