3Teeth Launches "Degrade" Single

L.A. industrial metal outfit 3Teeth launched new single "Degrade" online today before it drops on iTunes tomorrow. The track will appear on the upcoming 3Teeth sophomore album "shutdown.exe," due out this fall on OMF Records.

Vocalist Alexis Mincolla tells Billboard that the new single is about "power dynamics and mankind's seemingly infinite capacity to degrade each other.

He goes on to say, "There are an infinite amount socially constructed dogmas that people latch on to out of fear, that in turn create an infinite amount of divides between mankind. Now mix that up with a world of depleting resources and you get what's called a tragedy of the commons, and self-interest reigns supreme and greed, degradation and bottom-line thinking become not only acceptable, but in some places encouraged."
