The heavy music community is rallying behind one of its most prominent contemporary standard-bearers after a deeply vulnerable look into the severe psychological trauma of the closet. Just weeks after dropping a massive personal announcement that shook the alternative rock scene, Beartooth visionary Caleb Shomo has chosen to shed light on the structural roadblocks, religious dogma, and toxic industry settings that systematically delayed his ability to live authentically.

Appearing as a special guest on the Disrespectfully podcast hosted by long-time close friends Katie Maloney and Dayna Kathan, the 33-year-old tracking mastermind went completely unfiltered—revealing how a childhood isolated inside hyper-evangelical spaces forced him to view his natural sexuality as a demonic form of sickness. While the modern iteration of Beartooth is internationally revered for its high-contrast anthems of mental health resilience and self-love, Shomo’s path to personal clarity was severely stunted by his family lineage.

Describing himself as the “son of a preacher who is the son of a preacher,” the vocalist unpacked the terrifying emotional isolation of growing up in Ohio without a shred of self-worth. As the band prepares to unleash their highly anticipated sixth studio album, Pure Ecstasy, this August via Fearless Records, Shomo is finally using his raw lyrical power to dismantle decades of internal shame, offering full, heartbreaking details on his battle with suicidal ideation and substance dependency.

Listen to Today’s Metal Breakdown Daily:

The Playbook of Self-Hatred: Growing Up a Preacher’s Son

For Shomo, the foundational concepts of identity were skewed from infancy by the strict theological structures of regional Southern Christianity. Rather than learning to foster internal validation or self-care, the singer admitted he was conditioned to view his entire existence solely as a utility to serve the religious collective—a framework that proved toxic when his natural orientation began to manifest.

“Essentially, with Christianity, you devote your life to Jesus and then in the more Southern side of Christianity where I come from, it’s more serving people,” Shomo shared openly during the broadcast. “And to me, well I have no self worth, no self love, no reason for being here other than serving other people and loving other people and following the playbook. So that’s a tough place to start, especially being gay.”

The psychological weight intensified as the institutional church spaces he inhabited explicitly framed alternative sexualities not as a natural human variance, but as a spiritual deficit that could be actively prayed away.

“And then probably even more damaging than that upbringing was being involved in a music scene in that really wild Christian era of the mid-late 2000s that I came up in, adjacent to, like, Underoath and stuff, that at the time was very Christian and very evangelical and intense and I was involved in this music scene where I was 14 when I got into the scene, hanging out with a lot of older people who are very evangelical devout Christians and I was a Christian myself,” Shomo explained, mapping out his early career trajectory.

The Thrown Ring: Childhood Peer Pressure and Ohio Reality

During the extensive timeline conversation, Shomo recalled the precise moment his internal survival mechanisms kicked in to violently suppress his authentic self. He pinpointed a specific, haunting childhood memory around the age of six or seven that served as a cruel introduction to societal policing.

“My first core memory of what I recognize is that was when I was probably six or seven and my mom and my older brother … we were at some department store and there were these cheap rings and we though they were really cool,” the singer recalled. “And my mom was like, ‘Okay, you guys can get one.’ And he picked a guy’s ring and I picked a girl’s ring. And he’s like, ‘You know that’s a girl’s ring.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know. I just love it.’”

“It was half silver, half gold and had a diamond in the middle. I just loved it and I loved the way it made me feel. And I wore it all day and then I remember the next day on the bus just getting ridiculed by the kids … I just freaked out and didn’t know what was going on and threw it out the window. It was like, ‘F***, don’t do that. Whatever that is, let’s keep that away.’”

That sudden, reactive act of throwing the jewelry away became the permanent operational blueprint for how Shomo handled his evolving identity throughout his adolescence and twenties while navigating the conservative landscapes of Ohio.

“To me what that was was this very strong feminine side that I have, but it’s just not the vibe in Ohio in the Christian world,” Shomo stated. “And then growing up, the older you get and then hanging out with a lot of older people and just conversations constantly reminding you how fing weird it is to be gay if you do anything remotely gay or feminine. So that feeling that I had, which I now understand was my sexuality, I just viewed and compartmentalized as just self-hatred. It’s this thing that’s evil in me and okay, you fight this with all of your might. And that’s the right thing to do. You fing pray about it.”

The Brutal Fallout: Suicidal Ideation and the Bottle

The long-term consequences of maintaining that high-pressure emotional containment were nearly fatal. Shomo confessed that whenever natural feelings or attractions surfaced that threatened the religious walls he built, his brain automatically defaulted to self-destruction. The singer revealed he was plagued by persistent suicidal thoughts throughout his youth, eventually leaning heavily on severe alcohol dependency throughout his twenties to completely numb the internal war.

“I was just hiding from myself,” Shomo admitted, noting that his public battles with severe depression and anxiety—which heavily fueled Beartooth’s early classic tracking records like Disgusting and Aggressive—were actually the direct, structural side-effects of a man terrified of his own truth.

Unlocking Pure Ecstasy: The Influence of Jordan Fish

Looking strictly toward the future, Shomo is channeling this massive personal breakthrough directly into the sonic architecture of Beartooth’s sixth studio masterpiece, Pure Ecstasy, slated for a global street-date drop on August 28, 2026, via Fearless Records.

Following the chart-topping success of 2023’s The Surface, the new 11-track record represents the absolute first time Shomo has written music from a place of uncompromised personal honesty. To ensure he didn’t retreat into his typical habits of shielding his pain behind metaphorical or vague lyricism, Shomo credited ex-Bring Me The Horizon tracking architect and elite producer Jordan Fish with aggressively pushing him to the emotional brink.

Fish, who co-produced the highly anticipated record alongside songwriting contributions from Periphery’s Misha Mansoor, forced Shomo to strip away the industry-standard generalities and state his reality explicitly. The result is what Shomo defines as the most terrifyingly honest and uncompromisingly heavy tracking array of his entire existence, teased heavily by the massive, down-tuned breakdown velocity of the new title track single.

The Evangelical Metalcore Boom

The mid-to-late 2000s marked a highly unique, unprecedented cultural phenomenon in alternative music: the explosion of Christian evangelical metalcore into mainstream commercial visibility. Spearheaded by gold-certified Billboard titans like Underoath, As I Lay Dying, and August Burns Red, the heavy music scene became heavily dominated by labels like Solid State and Tooth & Nail. This ecosystem required young artists to maintain strict religious standards to preserve their distribution networks and festival slots.

Entering this intense, high-pressure environment at the tender age of 14 as an electronic tracking technician and eventual frontman for electronic-core breakout outfit Attack Attack!, Caleb Shomo was exposed to adult evangelical expectations before his own identity could even form. By breaking his silence on the deep emotional toll of this specific era, Shomo is delivering crucial historical context to alternative music culture, illuminating the hidden human cost behind one of the scene’s most profitable historical movements.

Now that Caleb Shomo has laid bare the intense personal history and religious conditioning that shaped his path, the floor belongs to the Loaded Radio global family. Are you ready to hear the raw, unfiltered emotional weight of Pure Ecstasy when it drops this August, or are you tracking their upcoming autumn stadium dates?

Swedish heavy rock/doom architects THE SONIC OVERLORDS have returned with a thunderous new digital single, “Calling Demons By Your Name,” accompanied by a striking performance music video. Released via M-Theory Audio, the track serves as a powerful statement of intent as the band continues actively working on more new music.

The digital single is available on all streaming/download platforms, or watch “Calling Demons By Your Name” HERE: https://youtu.be/vrT2HwHy10A?si=6Jqwhmnl3P_SRWe4

As the world seemingly devolves into chaos, THE SONIC OVERLORDS shine a beacon of hope in the form of a new single, “Calling Demons By Your Name.” An unrelenting steamroller of a track, packed with grit and power, that for a few minutes pulls you away from everyday troubles and into a realm where metal reigns supreme.

The new track pushes the band’s signature blend of crushing classic metal and massive melodic hooks into exciting new territory. Guitarist Morgan Zocek explains the vision behind the new anthem:

“The foundation of the song is heavily influenced by Black Sabbath, but the chorus also brings in a touch of Journey through its melodies and harmonies. And that’s something I would like to keep experimenting with in the future, blending AOR elements with our doom/classic hard rock sound. I feel like that combination could become something quite unique.“

Formed in 2017 by guitarist Morgan Zocek, THE SONIC OVERLORDS joined a few years later by vocalist Marcus Zachrisson Rubin and the bottom-end of bassist Daniel Ramírez caught the attention of the global metal underground with their 2021 debut album, Last Days of Babylon.

The band established a “warm familiarity” by seamlessly bridging the gap between late ‘70s/early ‘80s classic hard rock and epic heavy doom (think Dio/Martin-era Black Sabbath, and classic Rainbow, Candlemass, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Scorpions and Michael Schenker Group).

With “Calling Demons By Your Name,” THE SONIC OVERLORDS, together with drummer Michael Dahlqvist, are cementing their place in the modern heavy rock landscape while carving out a melodic path entirely their own. Stay tuned for more updates and new music announcements in the near future.

The alternative music landscape is notoriously fragile, filled with acts that completely burn out or compromise their sound the moment they taste mainstream validation. Yet, standing as an immovable monolith at the absolute summit of global heavy music is Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s metalcore vanguard, August Burns Red.

For over twenty years, this elite five-piece unit has defied structural music industry trends, maintaining a remarkably stable core lineup and an uncompromising work ethic that systematically re-engineered the mechanics of technical breakdowns. Today, we pull back the layers of precise production, hyper-syncopated drumming, and throat-shredding emotional vulnerability to provide the absolute, permanent ranking of every August Burns Red album from worst to best.

TL;DR

• Unrivaled Consistency: Lancaster, Pennsylvania icons August Burns Red have spent more than two decades serving as the absolute benchmark for modern technical metalcore.
• The Entire Evolution: This evergreen countdown tracks all 11 studio outings, tracing their journey from chaotic local math-core roots to progressive, Grammy-nominated arena titans.
• No Eras Forgotten: We evaluate every phase of their writing, including their unconventional instrumental holiday experiment and their modern star-studded collaborative efforts.
• The Ultimate Verdict: While their catalog boasts zero true failures, their definitive late-2000s masterpieces remain the gold-standard blueprint for the entire heavy music genre.

11. August Burns Red Presents: Sleddin’ Hill (2012)

Definitive Track: “Carol of the Bells”

The Breakdown: Placing an all-instrumental Christmas record at the anchor position of a metalcore ranking is standard procedure, but writing off Sleddin’ Hill as a cheap holiday gimmick is a massive mistake. Rather than delivering lazy, commercial tracking, guitarists JB Brubaker and Brent Rambler used this session to flex their immense knowledge of classical theory.

They seamlessly re-imagined traditional symphonic themes into complex, sweep-picked thrash movements. Driven by the unrelenting double-bass work of Matt Greiner, compositions like “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” are brilliant exhibitions of pure guitar gymnastics. It is a wildly entertaining, technically staggering record, but it naturally lacks the raw narrative gravity and emotional weight of their traditional vocal studio albums.

10. Thrill Seeker (2005)

Definitive Track: “Your Little Suburbia Is in Ruins”

The Breakdown: The raw, unhinged blueprint that started it all. Recorded long before the career-defining arrivals of vocalist Jake Luhrs and structural bassist Dustin Davidson, Thrill Seeker stands as a historical testament to a young group weaponizing chaotic math-core velocity via Solid State Records. Heavily influenced by the erratic time signatures of early scene pioneers like Misery Signals, the tracking here is frantic and predatory.

While standout moments like “Your Little Suburbia Is in Ruins” offer sharp glimpses of the breakdown patterns that would eventually rule the genre, the album ultimately suffers from a muddy, primitive mix and a lack of memorable vocal hooks. It remains an absolute cult favorite, but it represents an incredible engine still searching for its primary steering wheel.

9. Leveler (2011)

Definitive Track: “Empire”

The Breakdown: Arriving immediately after a legendary back-to-back run of genre-defining masterpieces, 2011’s Leveler found the group actively fighting against the creative walls of the metalcore label. The result is the most polarizing, high-risk experiment in their timeline.

The tracking features jarring detours, injecting sudden acoustic salsa interludes into “Internal Cannon” alongside progressive rock dynamics that caught old-school purists off guard. While towering anthems like “Empire” and “Poor Millionaire” deliver the heavy-hitting sonic weight expected of Lancaster’s finest, the overall tracking structure feels slightly fragmented. The band’s ambition was immense, but it frequently felt like an absolute collection of brilliant ideas competing for oxygen inside the same tracking room.

8. Phantom Anthem (2017)

Definitive Track: “Invisible Enemy”

The Breakdown: By 2017, August Burns Red had fully perfected the high-contrast formula of balancing complex, classical guitar melodies with punishing percussive force. Phantom Anthem functions as an absolute clinic in flawless, elite studio production values. The record earned the band another well-deserved Grammy Award nomination for the single “Invisible Enemy,” a track that masterfully utilizes hyper-syncopated guitar patterns matched step-for-step with Greiner’s polyrhythmic drumming.

While the album is an ironclad masterclass in execution, it sits lower on the countdown simply because it adheres strictly to the established, safe ABR playbook. It is a bulletproof, razor-sharp record, but one that actively treads familiar ground rather than forcing a brand-new evolutionary step.

7. Death Below (2023)

Definitive Track: “Ancestry”

The Breakdown: Easily the darkest, most conceptually suffocating record in the group’s history. Written and tracked during an era of profound global isolation, Death Below is a continuous, progressive journey stripped of standard, radio-friendly song lengths. The tracking bleeds together seamlessly, creating an ominous, ambient wall of sound that borders on progressive post-metal.

The emotional center of the record, “Ancestry,” features a stunning guest vocal performance from Killswitch Engage icon Jesse Leach, who locks horns with Jake Luhrs’ guttural screams of depression and generational trauma. It is a dense, challenging, and deeply rewarding piece of art that proved after two decades, this band could still sound incredibly dangerous.

6. Guardians (2020)

Definitive Track: “Defender”

The Breakdown: Released precisely when the world required a massive message of resilience, Guardians is an absolute powerhouse of anthemic metalcore energy. The tracking layout returns to a riff-first philosophy, delivering some of the most memorable, instantly infectious guitar hooks of JB Brubaker’s career.

Tracks like “Defender” and “Bones” are stadium-sized juggernauts, combining soaring, uplifting melodic movements with some of the most bone-crushing, syncopated breakdown drops ever committed to digital tape. It is an album that radiates triumphant strength, perfectly showcasing the band’s uncanny ability to fuse sheer violence with a deep sense of spiritual hope and grace.

5. Found in Far Away Places (2015)

Definitive Track: “Ghosts”

The Breakdown: This is the precise moment August Burns Red officially unlocked their modern progressive identity. Their debut release for Fearless Records, Found in Far Away Places, successfully achieved the genre-bending experimentation they had attempted on Leveler. The classical transitions feel entirely organic, smoothly moving from beautiful cinematic soundscapes into hyper-technical thrash metal.

The album’s crown jewel, “Ghosts,” features a brilliant dynamic contrast provided by A Day To Remember frontman Jeremy McKinnon, helping propel the band to their very first Grammy nomination. It is a cinematic, forward-thinking masterwork that permanently solidified their status as elite composers.

4. Season of Surrender (2026)

Definitive Track: “Legions”

The Breakdown: The latest studio monument to enter the catalog has completely proven that the band’s creative fire is nowhere near burning out. Season of Surrender cuts away any unnecessary progressive fat to deliver the heaviest, most emotionally volatile tracking the band has tracked in over a decade. Conceptually exploring themes of self-sabotage and the cathartic act of letting go, Jake Luhrs delivers a career-defining vocal performance that sits proudly at the absolute forefront of the pristine mix.

The star-studded collaborative tracking is a massive highlight—most notably the explosive vocal clash with The Devil Wears Prada’s Mike Hranica on the opening track “Legions,” and the atmospheric, crushing layers of “Sonic Salvation” featuring Polaris frontman Jamie Hails. It is a spectacular blend of their mid-2000s aggressive breakdown fury matched with their modern cinematic wisdom.

3. Rescue & Restore (2013)

Definitive Track: “Fault Line”

The Breakdown: A defiant, artistic declaration of war against a stagnant music scene. By 2013, the commercial metalcore landscape had become completely overrun by generic, paint-by-numbers electronics and autotuned pop choruses. August Burns Red responded by tracking Rescue & Restore, an album designed to actively save the integrity of the genre.

Integrating complex jazz chords, authentic classical violin layouts, and even brilliant mariachi horn structures on “The Creative Captivity,” the album expanded the vocabulary of what extreme music could achieve. “Fault Line” stands as one of the most powerful, emotionally resonant tracks in their history. It is a towering, high-concept monument of pure artistic integrity.

2. Messengers (2007)

Definitive Track: “White Washed”

The Breakdown: The undisputed, earth-shattering blueprint that permanently reshaped the face of global heavy music. Marking the monumental debut of frontman Jake Luhrs and structural bassist Dustin Davidson, 2007’s Messengers dropped onto the scene like an absolute atomic bomb via Solid State Records.

Stripping away any lingering clean-vocal tropes of the era, the record delivered 11 tracks of unmitigated, high-velocity metalcore violence. Driven by the legendary, genre-defining opening riff layout of “White Washed” and the relentless rhythmic attack of “Comrades,” this record established the template that thousands of contemporary bands are still actively trying to replicate today. It is a historical masterpiece of raw, unadulterated aggression.

1. Constellations (2009)

Definitive Track: “Marianas Trench”

The Breakdown: The absolute holy grail of modern progressive metalcore. If Messengers proved that August Burns Red could completely dominate the scene through raw brawn, 2009’s Constellations proved they were genuine musical geniuses. Striking the absolute perfect balance between terrifying breakdown velocity and sweeping, stargazing melodic beauty, the record is a flawless front-to-back masterpiece.

From the legendary, technical drum-roll intro of “Marianas Trench” to the celestial, epic guitar layers of “White Washed” and the crushing weight of “Thirty and Seven,” the album contains zero filler tracking. It is a timeless piece of alternative art that defined an entire generation of heavy music culture, securely retaining the crown as the definitive, ultimate number-one record in August Burns Red’s historic career.
