Metalcore maestros Beartooth just pulled a planned lyric video from release due to AI controversy surrounding it. Hours ahead of the clip going live, the band canceled it. Their reason? The artist who made it lied to them about the use of AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello all you lovely people, we posted a teaser this morning for a new song that was flagged for AI,\u201d frontman Caleb Shomo<\/a> penned in a message on social media<\/a>. \u201cThe artist we commissioned for this project assured us adamantly throughout the process that no AI was used to create this lyric video.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, after a lot of red flags and conversations this morning, we now know for a fact that was not the case,\u201d Shomo continued. \u201cWe have no interest in using AI or artists lying about using AI to try to translate the blood, sweat and tears that were put into this album in any way, shape or form.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beartooth\u2019s newest single, \u201cBulls**t\u201d, is now available to stream<\/p>\n

The singer then explained, \u201cMy brother Luke, who worked tirelessly on the album art, will again work tirelessly tonight to whip up a lyric video we\u2019re all proud of and stand behind because he\u2019s really badass.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe song will be posted as scheduled,\u201d he finally added, seemingly referring to \u201cBulls\u2013 t\u201d, the band\u2019s new single. \u201cWe love you all, and we love human creativity. Thank you for understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear who the artist in question is or if they have commented on the controversy.<\/p>\n

The new song marks Beartooth\u2019s third single from their new album, Pure Ecstasy, after \u201cFree\u201d and the title track, \u201cPure Ecstasy<\/a>\u201c. The record drops on August 28, 2026.<\/p>\n
