Below

"Crucially, as the world finds its way back to some sort of normality, it's a catharsis which listeners are invited to share. The album's larger-than-life tendencies are custom-tooled with a theatricality to serve Beartooth on ever-grander stages ... Proof that Caleb Shomo is one of his generation's most remarkable songwriters: the deeper he dives, the higher Beartooth climb".

"On their fourth full-length, Below, Ohio metalcore outfit Beartooth expand upon their aggressive, gnashing sound by incorporating old-school inspiration - classic guitar noodling and arena-friendly gang choruses - from the likes of Metallica, Pantera, and other heavy metal greats into the mix ... Combining those catchy flourishes with the band's trademark heaviness creates a great balance, and Below winds up being one of Beartooth's most enjoyable and immediate releases to date".

"Om end pladens numre fremstår stærke individuelt, bliver det en smule rodet og kaotisk i en albumkonteks ... Det sagt er 'Below' bandets bedste plade siden debutten. Den karismatiske forsangers succes med at fremstå utrolig oprigtig i et univers, der ellers kan virke noget påtaget, især som årene begynder at sætte sig på sidebenene, bærer en stor del af pladen. Frustrationerne fremstår ægte, aggressionen er til at føle på, og det sårbare og hjerteknusende lader til at komme direkte fra hjertet. En øvelse, der kræver personligt engagement for at lykkes. 'Below' er en hudløst ærlig lytteoplevelse".
