Beartooth has released a new song called "Bulls***," taken from the band's upcoming album, Pure Ecstasy.

"I'm sick of myself/ I'm sick of this bulls***," frontman Caleb Shomo sings in the chorus.

The song's release was accompanied by an unexpected issue involving its lyric video. After sharing a teaser for the track on Thursday, Shomo revealed that the video had been flagged for the use of AI-generated content.

"The artist we commissioned for this project assured us adamantly throughout the process that no AI was used to create this lyric video," Shomo wrote in a Facebook post. "Unfortunately after a lot of red flags and conversations this morning, we now know for a fact that was not the case."

Shomo added, "We 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."

Rather than use the original video, Shomo's brother, Luke Shomo, created a new version from scratch.

Pure Ecstasy, the follow-up to 2023's The Surface, is scheduled for release on Aug. 28. The album also includes the previously released songs "Free" and the title track.

Beartooth will launch a U.S. headlining tour in November.
