Beartooth is immortal. The observation stems from the mantra, “I’m destined for greatness or death,” off of their latest album Disease. In the aptly named track “Greatness or Death,” frontman Caleb Shomo proselytizes the idea that it’s either greatness or death. Logically then, he and the other guys are simply immortal. They have achieved so […]

Seeing them as the headliner instead of the supporting […]
