3TEETH Release Cover of Guns N' Roses Track "Civil War"

Industrial rock act 3TEETH has released a cover of the 1991 Guns N’ Roses track “Civil War”. It is the latest cover from the band, following their previously released takes on songs like “Pumped Up Kids”, “Ballroom Blitz”, “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)”, and “Everybody Wants To Rule The World”.

In a press release announcing the cover, frontman Alexis Mincolla stated the following:L

“’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.”

You can hear the reimagined version of the song in its entirety below.
