Chicago-based industrial metal act Programmable Animal has just released a video for “Sunset”. The song itself was produced by Sean Beavan who you will know from his work with Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson and 3TEETH.

“Sunset” is featured on their 7-track EP “One Step to Hell” which was released in November 2020 already, so this video comes almost 3 years after the release of the EP itself. Led by frontman Drepsea, Programmable Animal aims “to create a visceral, cathartic, and soulful experience with its audience.”

While writing the 7-track release, the band also recorded with Producer Chuck Macak (Born of Osiris, Fall of Troy, & Letlive.) Following the completion of the release, Programmable Animal signed with the Negative Gain label in 2020.

Here’s the video.

Here’s the 7-track release on Bandcamp.

(Photo by Jim Louvau) As part of their series of monthly singles leading up to the release of their new album “EndEx” in September, 3TEETH is now sharing the latest track and video titled “Drift,” showcasing what they describe as “a stripped-back sound.”

According to 3TEETH’s frontman and creative lead, Alexis Mincolla, the song “Drift” embodies a sense of resignation that comes from living life to the fullest, without being held back by fear or regret. Alexis: “It represents the triumphant flicker of a lantern, the last traces of a fierce and passionate spirit, defiantly burning as we transition from the mundane reality of our physical existence to the ethereal void where consciousness roams freely, unburdened by the limitations of our mortal form.”

The accompanying music video offers an intimate glimpse into the band’s recording process, capturing the five members in the studio. You can watch the video for “Drift” right below.

3TEETH’s upcoming album, “EndEx,” is set to be released by Century Media Records on September 22. This album marks the band’s first release since 2019’s “Metawar.” Heading the production for “EndEx” is sound designer Mick Gordon, renowned for his exceptional work on the gaming phenomenon “DOOM.” He co-produced several tracks alongside producer Nick Rowe and mixer Sean Beavan (known for his work with NIN).

(Photo by Jim Louvau) 3TEETH are back with “Merchant Of The Void”, the first of a series of monthly singles leading up to their upcoming full album release via Century Media. “Merchant of The Void” follows the previously released track “Paralyze” (featuring Ho99o9).

The track is accompanied by a video from one of Hollywood’s leading animators, Matteo Santoro, who grew up with 3TEETH frontman Alexis Mincolla. You can watch the video for “Merchant Of The Void” below.

Frontman and creative lead Alexis Mincolla says this about the new single: “Amidst the numbing pulse of hypermodernity, the insatiable appetite of data commodification devours our sense of meaning. The undead march of materialism eventually renders the human subject an automaton, desperately grasping for the ephemeral junk 2.0 to fill the abyss of existential emptiness. The self devolves into a mere echo, a ghostly spectre caught in the whirlwind of techno-capital acceleration, the very essence of its being devoured by the machinery of its own weaponised desires. If the future eludes your vision, fear not, The Merchant of The Void is standing by and eager to sell it to you. Welcome to the cold descent into the black hole of total absolute commodification. In the words of William S. Burroughs, ‘The junk merchant doesn’t sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to his product. He does not improve and simplify his merchandise. He degrades and simplifies the client.'”

To lay the foundation for the new material, 3TEETH migrated to the deserted quiet of Joshua Tree, escaping their hometown of Los Angeles for a fresh perspective. The material is currently being finalised with an extended team including sound designer Mick Gordon (best known for his work on the gaming phenomenon “Doom”), who produced several of the tracks along with producer Nick Rowe and mixer Sean Beavan (NIN).

3TEETH first manifested in 2013, releasing their self-titled debut album the following year. In 2017, the album “shutdown.exe” followed. Working alongside producer and mixer Sean Beavan (NIN) at their new label home, Century Media, 3TEETH continued with “Metawar” (2019).

3TEETH is comprised of Alexis Mincolla (vocals), Chase Brawner (guitars), Xavier Swafford (keyboards and synthesiser), Andrew Means (bass), and Nick Rossi (drums).

About Sine

Sine is an alternative rock/electronic band created and led by singer and drummer, Rona Rougeheart. She has stepped from behind the kit to create her own female fronted project that weaves dance beats with industrial noise and layers of booming bass, synths and guitars.

Rougeheart, born in New York, grew up as a military child, living all over the U.S. and in Okinawa, Japan. Her father was a musician who taught her how to play keys and guitar. Early in her musical career, she played drums for multiple bands in Austin, TX, catching the eye of Gretsch Drums who, in 2012, gave her her first endorsement. Gibraltar hardware also added her to their roster.

In April, 2019, she landed a direct support slot for Peter Murphy in Orlando, FL for the 40th Anniversary of Bauhaus Ruby Tour with David J. The night seemed ill-fated when Peter was unable to perform, but was revitalized when she joined David J, Curse Mackey, Mark Gemini-Thwaite and Marc Slutsky for an impromptu performance of Bauhaus tunes.

From that night, a new project emerged between David J, Curse Mackey and herself.

Chicago’s Industrial Metal/Rock outfit Programmable Animal have announced the release of its new album “One Step to Hell” on Negative Gain.

“One Step to Hell”, was produced/mixed by producer Sean Beavan (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Slayer, 3TEETH and No Doubt). The band also recorded with Chuck Macak (Born of Osiris, Fall of Troy and Letlive.) at his studio while creating the album. So what can you expect from “One Step to Hell”? According to the label it offers industrial metal with elements of post-hardcore and post-rock.

The album tells a very personal story for Founder/Vocalist Drepsea and delves into a time when his life was flipped upside down by narcissistic and backstabbing people, also the passing of a loved one and almost losing another loved one due to drug addiction.

Drepsea: “This album has been blood, sweat, and tears.. literally. I’ve endured some troubling experiences this past year and a half and the record is a result of that. Dealing with narcissistic backstabbing people, the effects of others using drugs and impacting me, the death of a loved one, & a loved one almost dying due to heroin overdose.. resulting in me having to perform CPR on them (due to cardiac arrest) until the paramedics arrived. A moment like this, when you’re seeing the life of someone slip before your own eyes, you can do nothing but strive through the hardship. I just remember the people around me crying, begging for them not to leave us, in that moment instinct kicks in. Regardless of the panic as their breath was dissipating to the faintest gasp. You don’t stop, keep on pushing. Life is filled with chaos, and it will always keep arising as you venture forward. There is always light at the end of tunnel. Even when things seem “One Step to Hell,” we always have the choice to push forward & make it better.”

“One Step to Hell” is out today on Negative Gain. The music video for the title track can be seen below.

Chicago based industrial rock/metal act Programmable Animal have released a new music video, “Backstabber” as a teaser for their new album “One Step to Hell” to be released later this year. “Backstabber”, the first song off the album, was produced by Sean Beavan (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, 3 Teeth, Slayer etc) and is about those who hurt others for personal gain.

Vocalist Drepsea explains: “I’m tired of the polarization separating us one by one from each other. I’m tired of the liars, cheaters, backstabbers, abusers, narcissists, and everyone causing malevolent actions towards others. I am a product that has been lost, backstabbed, abandoned, deprived, cheated, hurt, haunted, and wronged.. though, I won’t allow that to subjugate me. I will keep on pushing.”
