3TEETH is back for the first time since 2019 with their first single in a long line of singles, "Merchant Of The Void". The single comes alongside a video animated by Matteo Santoro, whose bleakness matches the music's oppressively industrial energy.
”Amidst the numbing pulse of hypermodernity, the insatiable appetite of data commodification devours our sense of meaning," said 3TEETH vocalist Alexis Mincolla. "The undead march of materialism eventually renders the human subject an automaton, desperately grasping for the ephemeral junk 2.0 to fill the abyss of existential emptiness.
"The self devolves into a mere echo, a ghostly specter caught in the whirlwind of techno-capital acceleration, the very essence of its being devoured by the machinery of its own weaponized desires. If the future eludes your vision, fear not, The Merchant of The Void is standing by and eager to sell it to you. Welcome to the cold descent into the black hole of total absolute commodification. In the words of William S. Burrough 'The junk merchant doesn't sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to his product. He does not improve and simplify his merchandise. He degrades and simplifies the client.'"
While no new 3TEETH album has been announced, the band has revealed they're working on it! 3TEETH is in the studio with sound designer Mick Gordon (Doom), producer Nick Rowe, and mixer Sean Beavan (Nine Inch Nails) wrapping up the new material. The plan is to release a new single every month until the full album is out, which makes a lot of sense in the world of streaming.
"3TEETH are one of my favorite acts. They proudly fly their own unique flag," said Gordon. "The new album charts course through the next stage of our vanity led evolution as a species, and by that I mean the album is a world unto itself. I'm just stoked that these guys have allowed me along for the ride."
