Guns N' Roses have returned with their first new single since 2008. The newly unveiled "ABSUЯD" can be heard in the player below.

Landing 13 years after Chinese Democracy, "ABSUЯD" is a reworked version of an unreleased song titled "Silkworms" from that album's sessions. 

GN'R first performed it live on Tuesday (August 3) during a show at Fenway Park in Boston, MA, and then again Wednesday (August 4) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey ahead of its official release today. 

As Ultimate Classic Rock points out, Guns N' Roses have performed the original "Silkworms" as early as 2001, and it hasn't appeared in a setlist of theirs since.

Guns N' Roses have reportedly been at work on a follow-up to Chinese Democracy. Last January, guitarist Slash shared that "stuff is happening" with regards to a new LP "but there are no specifics."
