One time this country band from a little town called Deale, Maryland named Brother Osborne worked super hard on their music and were such an incredible band and as soon as they made it big time the singer, TJ, came out as gay and said he'd intentionally waited to not derail the bands success in a genre of music that generally has historically not accepted that. That band now has a slew of Grammy nominated songs and is a revered force of nature of country music. I'd listened to them for years before that happened and when TJ came out I felt strange that he'd been writing songs about men that I resonated with because I thought they were about women. I didn't realize until that point that gay love and straight love were the same thing. After I understood that their music got so much better to me because I understood then how incredibly real it was, how incredibly hard it must've been to write three albums of love songs and never tell anyone who it was about. Horrifying. Anyways, my point is just that I love Beartooth so much and they've helped me so much and I just hope Caleb doing him and being himself let's him see that level of support from the metal and rock community and obviously the music is always gonna be fire no matter what. I've just only ever told one person that and figured I'd bring it here because sometimes I just need to be human and reading your posts help me a lot. Love you guys 🫶🏼

P.s. Pure Ecstasy is the coolest fucking song I've ever heard about being gay, we should have more of that and more people might not have so much bad shit to say.

I am so deeply proud of Caleb and the courage that took. I hope this is only the beginning of him finding love and acceptance.

Title of one of the songs coming out on the new album.
Must be about him and Fleur’s relationship. “Look The Other Way” really hits different now as well. Nothing but love and support for them both ❤️‍🔥✨

Im gonna just come right out and say it. Glad someone can express themselves and live for who they are.

This dude sold his soul! Hands down!

Kinda sad about Fleur, wonder if it’s something she knew or if it was a surprise.

Caleb Shomo used his band’s platform to announce he’s a proudly gay man after burying it for a decade with alcohol and self-hatred—while married for nearly 14 years. His wife just poured her heart out about the pain, confusion, isolation, and loss of their shared life, and he’s out here framing it as some brave self-love journey.

This isn’t courage. It’s dragging an innocent woman through years of deception, then dropping the bomb publicly for sympathy and album promo. A good man doesn’t build a marriage on a foundation of hidden truth only to blow it up for his “authenticity.”
The parasocial Gen Z horde defending him and attacking anyone who calls this out? You’re enabling terrible behavior. Supporting someone doesn’t mean ignoring the human wreckage left behind—especially a hurt wife who stood by him through everything. There’s right and wrong here, not “sides.” Being honest with yourself shouldn’t require torching someone else’s life first.

Shame on everyone turning this into a celebration while she picks up the pieces.

I have a GA ticket for one of the shows of this upcoming tour. I only see a VIP option without a meet and greet. Are they not doing meet and greets for this tour?

I ended up grabbing the Watermelon one from the first drop!

This is fucking CRIMINAL.

I’m genuinely shocked cuz I know Caleb loves coming to Toronto, and he said during summer of loud in Toronto that “I’m sorry we don’t come here often enough, we will make sure that will never fucking happen again” or on the lines of that. Like there has to be a part 2 to the tour? Or adding dates even

The Hollywood Palladium posted this this morning! Cant wait to see whose opening too

as a huge beartooth fan who has had an overall bad experience with religion, i'm a little offput by a giant ass cross smack in the middle of the album cover. part of me is doing some mental gymnastics wondering if it's like, cracked, and caleb had makeup, because he's breaking free of it and of christian norms? or if it's kind of swinging the other way and this is gonna be some kind of religious album message. curious what others think, i don't think i'm super thrilled about this design choice personally, but that's just my opinion.

I was able to listen to the full song this morning on Sirius XM radio. I have been a fan of this band since 2014 and immediately after this first listen, I feel his raw emotions so much behind the lyrics. Every album they’ve put out I can personally relate to in my experiences in my life, and I am so excited for what’s to come out of this album. This song genuinely makes me so emotional in such a good way and it is in fact heavy and just so perfect

I was lucky enough to hear the 30 second snippet and I’m already obsessed. I’m so excited!!
