Industrial metal agitators 3TEETH return with a new cover of Guns N’ Roses’ 1991 classic “Civil War.” Known for pushing sonic boundaries and social commentary, the band injects the iconic anti-war anthem with a brooding, industrial edge that feels tailor-made for today’s turbulent climate. The original’s haunting lyrics and slow-burning build are still intact, but 3TEETH layer it with heavy distortion, mechanical rhythms, and their signature dystopian flair.

The cover clocks in at over seven minutes, staying true to the original’s epic structure while dragging it deeper into the abyss with a polished yet punishing production. A visualizer accompanies the track, pairing the sonic aggression with equally bleak, thought-provoking imagery.

 Frontman Alexis Mincolla comments:

“’Civil War’ always hit me as a song about how people get torn apart, not just by governments or ideologies, but by the lasting ripple effects of conflict itself. It was written over 30 years ago, and somehow nothing’s changed except the tools of perception management have gotten way more sophisticated. Sure, the faces may change, the flags may change, but the playbook stays the same. History loops like a low-effort rerun, and the remote’s nowhere to be found because the people writing the script want you tuned in and operating at a very low frequency.”

“We didn’t cover this track out of nostalgia. We did it because humanity has this uncanny habit of investing more in ideology than in each other, and that makes us easy prey for the psyops. This cover is a mirror to that cycle. Same bullshit, just in higher resolution.”
