American quartet 3Teeth emerged from the shadows of the Los Angeles underground to inject some industrial grit back into the local music scene. With their outspoken sociopolitical stances, leather-bound aesthetic, and unflinching message, they were able to capture an audience both on a small scale and up the metal food chain with famous fans like Tool and Rammstein. With each successive release, they polished their corrosive attack, expanding their industrial-metal sound with 2017's sophomore release shutdown.exe. By 2019, they joined the company of Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, recruiting famed industrial producer Sean Beavan for Metawar.
