On the rainy evening of March 11th, Beartooth brought their power-packed brand of metalcore to Boston’s TD Garden. Opening for Bad Omens on their Do You Feel Love tour, Beartooth commanded the sold-out arena crowd with an electrifying set.

Although restricted by the limited time of their slot between the first opener, President and headliner, Bad Omens, Beartooth offered a satisfying cross-section of their catalog across 11 songs. Their recent studio album The Surface accounted for half of the setlist, and the remainder was a balanced representation of songs from three of their four other LPs, Disgusting, Disease, and Below. Most notable, however, was the addition of their brand-new single “Free,” one of a scant few releases since The Surface dropped in 2023.

Beartooth were at home on the arena stage as they charged through their opening set. Frontman Caleb Shomo capitalized on the enthusiastic feedback he received from the packed arena crowd, channeling the raw energy back into his performance. At the end of their roughly 40-minute set, Shomo lingered on stage as the crowd applauded. Basking in the noise, it seemed that only after Beartooth’s bombastic set wound down did he stop to fully appreciate their success.
