Beartooth are teasing a brand-new single, Free

Beartooth have just announced a brand-new single, Free.

Following Caleb Shomo’s 2025 collab with Tom Morello and before that, a deluxe edition of The Surface in 2024, it looks like a whole new chapter of the band might finally be about to launch.

Having just kicked off a huge North American tour supporting Bad Omens, Beartooth dropped Free into their first setlist at Salt Lake City’s Delta Center last night (February 22), and have since confirmed that the track is officially arriving this Friday, February 27.

In Beartooth’s 2023 Kerrang! Cover Story, Caleb explained that The Surface marked the end of the band’s first era – with their five albums up to that point making a “run-on sentence”: Disgusting. Aggressive. Disease. Below. The Surface.

With that completed, he pondered of what might come next: “I don’t really have an understanding of what I want to achieve yet in the future, but maybe it is a little more free-spirited. I’m incredibly excited for chapter two of Beartooth, which is 30 to 40. I think that’s gonna be really fucking exciting. I really don’t know how it’s gonna unravel, but I’m fucking stoked to hear the story!”

Pre-save Free now.
