11 : JULY : 08 ANGELSPIT - Blood Death Ivory (Dancing Ferret)
Hot off the heals of their powder keg debut album,
Krankhaus, and a long string of live performances all over the world,
Angelspit have released the much anticipated follow-up, Blood
Death Ivory. Kicking off with the very chaotic and richly layered "Grind," it quickly becomes apparent that Angelspit have continued to refine their musical composition and exhibit a great gift for sound engineering. Infectious and memorable, tracks such as "Skinny Little Bitch" and "Homo-Machinery" stick with you long after the album finishes, while other tracks like "Lust Worthy" and "Girl Poison" are slow paced, sexy, and downright erotic. Throughout, Angelspit largely employs a spoken word vocal style that offers a sultry and mellow counterbalance to the rough beats and grinding rhythms, however there are a few occasions where the combination of lyrics and vocal delivery can be mildly off putting at first, as well as occasions where simply one word may come across as misplaced or poorly used.Generally these are minor quibbles and do not detract from the enjoyment of the album. Blood Death Ivory is a good second album for Angelspit that proves that Krankhaus was not a fluke. They continue to step up their effort and produce quality work that is not simply a rehash of previous material. Their incredibly unique sound and attitude remain, but with a slight tweaking of theme and mood. Though the intensity may be turned down a notch this time out, Blood Death Ivory does not disappoint and is sure to tickle Angelspit's ever growing fan base. Read the original review: |
