Tooth
It’s a minor miracle that this record exists at all. Twenty years ago, it may have felt inevitable, but soon after their 2009 split with The Claw, Durham metal band Tooth was laid to rest. Life carried on, and its members, J-me Guptill (vocals), Ben Wilson and Richard James (guitars), Ryland Fishel (bass), and Noah Kessler (drums), pursued other projects, leaving Tooth buried by the Eno River.
But Tooth couldn’t stay dead. The band that clawed its way back is sharper, darker, and meaner, a sound aged like whiskey in a barrel, stronger and more focused after years in silence. Across six crushing tracks, Tooth builds on their sludge, doom, punk, and heavy metal roots, channeling the same easy chemistry that made them local legends while pushing into new, heavier territory. This is the same band that once shared stages with Baroness, Kylesa, Torche, and Black Tusk, but nothing buried comes back the same. This time, Tooth came back better.
