D&D is back! Well, kind of. They're still not going to be a band anymore, save for one last appearance at the SCENE festival, but this isn't going to become another Paul Gray incident. There's not going to be long periods of wearing band t-shirts in mourning. There's just going to be a lot of revisiting their song directory. Now, from The Machines We Are comes "Teeth," a track I've been aware of for the last three years, but have never looked too closely at. Perhaps, it's because it's very different from all of the other D&D songs, but what makes it different is what sets it apart.
"Teeth" is a combination of slow guitar chords, fuzzy vocals from Matty Tobin and vocals about love and drugs (if I don't beg you stop, will I become one of them?). It's the small touch of noise in this track that removes it from its metalcore siblings on The Machines We Are. You'll hear it, don't worry. The percussion gets dirty, like banging on the tops of oil drums, and as the end of "Teeth" nears, that industrial feel is more than apparent. I commend Dead and Divine for going a different route here. It paid off, believe me.
