THE SINGLE
Angelspit’s new track “This Game is Stupid” is a gritty, distorted homage to late 80s Cyber-Industrial.
The song’s driving beats, anchored by drummer Dave Nato (4th Wall), provides a relentless foundation for the track’s harsh synths and blistering Blaster Beam riffs. Vocalist and frontman Zoog Von Rock delivers scathing lyrics with his trademark sneer.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
“I built this track from samples of me bashing a giant metal sculpture of a fish (it wasn’t damaged!!) – the sculpture’s tubular bars rang deep, clear and loud when struck. The sculpture was situated in a dangerous part of Downtown LA, I had to sneak in at night to do the recording.
The war-tom drums of Dave Nato (4th Wall) provides the backbone of the track. The rest of the track is layers of mega-distorted Blaster Beam processed by George Bikos at Baysound Studios. It’s super gritty like late 80s Cyber-Industrial!”
– Zoog Von Rock, Angelspit.
‘This Game is Stupid‘ is released through Black Pill Red Pill, Bandcamp and all streaming services on Monday April 24, 2023.

VERSE 1/
Welcome to Hollywood, don’t feed the vampires
The blood Trauma bond, is all you’ll ever have
Best dressed predator, conquering to survive
If they’re the bad shepherd, then what the hell am I?
CHORUS/
This game is stupid, and you’re being played
Rules you can’t win, the hatred and blame
VERSE 2/
I’m only saying yes, ‘coz it made me feel safe
Low class paranoid, in stolen high-class skin
This force labor camp is the home I love best
Watch, cheer, crucify, and fear that you’ll be next
CHORUS/
This game is stupid, and you’re being played
Rules you can’t win, the hatred and blame
All that abuse made us weapons of rage
This game is stupid and you’ve been played
MIDDLE 8/
Manipulation this subtle, almost feels consensual
Reality warps to fiction, the takeover will be gentle
Get a reward if you say the right thing, the wrong thing gets suspension
The anger and fighting is just another distraction
VERSE 3/
Last year’s war hero is this year’s homeless face
Love and terror kept us scared, but now it’s got us pissed
If you live in fear, eat your executioner
This time will be different…yeah, right…
CHORUS/
This game is stupid, and you’re being played
Rules you can’t win, the hatred and blame
All that abuse made us weapons of rage
This game is stupid and you’ve been fucked
