Beartooth Unveil ‘Eyes Closed’ as Fourth Single From ‘Pure Ecstasy’ Ahead of 2026 North American Run
WASHINGTON, DC — Beartooth have released a new music video for “Eyes Closed,” the latest preview from the band’s upcoming sixth studio album, Pure Ecstasy. The clip, directed by Zebulon Griffin, is now streaming as fans get another look at the record before its August 28 release through Fearless Records.
The song arrives as the album’s fourth advance single, keeping momentum high around a project that has already been teased through multiple tracks. Frontman Caleb Shomo said the song came together with Jordan Fish and quickly stood out as something the band knew was special.
A new single built around heavy riffs and a big release
Shomo described “Eyes Closed” as especially fun to play, pointing to the riffs and the release of screaming the track in the studio. That kind of language will sound familiar to Beartooth fans, who have come to expect a mix of punishing energy and singalong intensity from the Ohio-bred metalcore act.
The band’s platinum-certified status adds another layer of anticipation to each new rollout, and this latest single continues the run-up to an album that is being positioned as a major next chapter. With each advance track, Beartooth are giving listeners more clues about how Pure Ecstasy will land when it arrives later in the summer.
The album rollout keeps building before August 28
Fearless Records is set to issue Pure Ecstasy on August 28, and “Eyes Closed” now joins the album’s earlier teasers in the campaign. The new video gives the track a visual push while adding more weight to the band’s current promotional stretch.
For fans following the rollout closely, the combination of a new single, a fresh video and a clear release date makes the album countdown feel fully underway. Beartooth have not only kept the music coming, but also kept the focus on the kind of high-impact songs that have built their audience.
North American dates line up after the album lands
The band also has a lengthy 2026 tour schedule on the books, with the first North American stop listed for November 11 at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston. The U.S. leg continues through cities including New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles and more before wrapping in California in mid-December.
That timing gives fans a chance to hear the new material live after the album is out, turning Pure Ecstasy into both a studio release and a concert-season centerpiece. For now, “Eyes Closed” is the latest sign that Beartooth are entering a busy stretch with a full album campaign behind them.
