THE SINGLE
Angelspit’s new track “The Greatest Trick” is a high-speed burning collision between Electro-Punk Rock and Cyber Mayhem.
Ultra Distorted Blaster Beam (Electric Guitar hybrid – 6 foot long 11 strings), samples, vocals and lyrics – continuing the old-school Industrial approach to destroying music!
The mayhem driving “The Greatest Trick” creates something new and dangerous.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
“The track is built around the sample of a cooking pot rocking on a wall hook – yup, a rocking saucepan! Its pitch was lowered and distorted – giving a dirty, grainy sound. The sample’s pitch and rhythm became the backbone of the track.
The Blasterbeam was literally bashed to create total mayhem. George Bikos at Baysound Studios ran the Blaster Beam through his huge collection of guitar amps to make it sound massive!
“God” and “The Devil” mentioned in the lyrics is referring to technology and the absolute power it has over us. It is addictive and self-destructive.”
– Zoog Von Rock, Angelspit.
Art Imitates War is released through Black Pill Red Pill, Bandcamp and all streaming services on Monday January 30, 2023.

Lyrics
THE GREATEST TRICK
T=134 BPM
VERSE 1/
The pilgrims found God again
Once they burned books, now their canceling
But what they don’t understand is they’re controlled by fleas
Watching glaciers collapse into the big brown sea
The lice came from God, and God came from us
Getting under your skin fills your head with rubbish
God is a product, and you’re made in its image
But you’re not a duplicate, you’re unique hot shit
CHORUS/
The greatest trick that the Devil did,
is making you think that he don’t exist
The greatest trick that God did,
is making you think that he does
VERSE 2/
That Unquenchable need is eating your psyche
We built a god machine, but now it’s programming us
Next level diabolical, give it to me
More sponsored fruit from the forbidden tree
The fleas spread a plague, the disease of the mindless
Eating time and courage to make you feel worthless
The great glass ceiling is slowly being lowered
While the eyes in the sky engineer a new messiah
CHORUS/
The greatest trick that the Devil did,
is making you think that he don’t exist
The greatest trick that God did,
is making you think that he does
MIDDLE 8/
Progress for progress stake
Forget morals or concept of self
You get the turkey, they get genocide
But everybody’s ultimately feeding the lice
CHORUS/
The greatest trick that the Devil did,
is making you think that he don’t exist
The greatest trick that God did,
is making you think that he does
OUTRO/
Progress for progress stake
Forget morals or concept of self
You get the turkey, they get genocide
But everybody’s ultimately feeding the lice
