\"\"<\/a>3TEETH<\/strong> – EndEx<\/i>
\nCentury Media<\/p>\n

3TEETH and I go way back; I initially found out about them when they opened for Tool<\/strong> on tour in 2016 and I immediately fell in love with their style. Their first album titled 3teeth <\/em>wasn\u2019t necessarily out of the ordinary for a debut record; however, it had a sense of depravity and nihilistic tendencies that I can only compare to something like The<\/em> Downward Spiral<\/em>.\u00a0 I could tell they had some serious potential. With every record they continued to develop their industrial style, with much better production, better writing, and of course, better musicianship.<\/p>\n

I think this all came to a head with their 4th album they dropped this year titled EndEx<\/em>. Massive production, Dummy T H I C C guitar tones (courtesy of Mick Gordon on several tracks), and some of the nastiest electronics I\u2019ve heard on an industrial record. Thematically this record leans heavily into the hyper-consumerist, capital-driven hellscape that our world is currently en route to becoming, and the nihilistic worldview that comes along with it. It\u2019s well written, a blast to listen to, and each track feels like a small glimpse into a bleak future accompanied by a Doom Eternal style soundtrack.<\/p>\n
