Los Angeles industrial metal band 3Teeth unveiled their new single “Merchant Of The Void (feat. Mick Gordon)” yesterday.

The new song, which comes with a music video directed by Matteo Santoro, will kickstart a monthly single series from 3Teeth leading up to their new studio album on Century Media.

Vocalist Alexis Mincolla said this about the new song:

“Amidst the numbing pulse of hypermodernity, the insatiable appetite of data commodification devours our sense of meaning. 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.”

Gordon said this about working with 3Teeth on the new album:

“3TEETH are one of my favorite acts. They proudly fly their own unique flag. 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.”

“Merchant Of The Void” is available on digital services right now.
