About Beartooth

Beartooth is Caleb Shomo's metalcore project, built on the foundation of a dude who's genuinely angry and isn't interested in hiding it. What started as a solo recording venture in 2013 turned into a legitimate band that trades in heavy, aggressive metal with hooks catchy enough to stick around after the song ends. Disgusting and Aggressive weren't subtle album titles, and they weren't meant to be. Shomo writes about mental health, frustration, and the kind of raw emotional discharge that metalcore does better than most genres. The band's live presence is where they earn their reputation—it's controlled chaos, the kind of show where the pit is actually a feature, not a bug. They've built a loyal crowd of people who come for the heaviness but stay because there's actual songwriting beneath the distortion. Beartooth keeps hitting the road and keeps making records that sound like someone finally snapped.

Beartooth shows are organized violence. The pit runs the whole set, crowd is locked in, and Shomo's not phoning it in from stage. He's in it with them. Heavy and controlled, not chaotic.

Beartooth + Minneapolis

Beartooth rolled through Xcel Energy Center in Minneapolis on May 6, 2023, running essentially the same setlist they'd been deploying all tour. Thirteen songs, no encore, no filler. "Devastation" opened things up, and they worked through "Sunshine!" and "Beaten in Lips" in the middle stretch. "Bad Listener" and "You Never Know" kept the energy high before they hit the closing run of "Hated," "Riptide," "The Past Is Dead," and "The Last Riff." Efficient and brutal -- exactly what you'd expect from a Beartooth show in a hockey arena.

Live Music in Minneapolis

Minneapolis has always had a soft spot for heavy music, from Prince's harder edges to the metal and hardcore acts that cut through winters by being louder than the wind. The Twin Cities' rock venues—both massive and basement-sized—have built a scene where aggressive guitar work and cathartic vocals feel like necessity rather than novelty. Beartooth fits naturally into that landscape.

Minneapolis road trip to see Beartooth?

Stay in the Northeast Minneapolis arts district—it's where the city's creative energy actually lives, with galleries, vintage shops, and the Mississippi River nearby. Eat at Café Alma in the same neighborhood for restrained, high-quality Italian cooking. Spend an afternoon at the Walker Art Center, which sits on a rise overlooking downtown and has genuine landscape appeal. Grab coffee at Spyhouse, a roaster that takes itself seriously without the performative nonsense. The Stone Arch Bridge is worth a walk if the weather cooperates.
