Dom Smith talks to Zoog about Angelspit’s new album Cult Of Fake
Angelspit was probably one of the first interviews we ever did back in 2008 when we built this thing, so it’s cool to catch up with Zoog in 2016 to talk about the band’s new album, Cult Of Fake. Killer.
A sonically danceable and dark electropunk album which solidifies the band’s unique musical style.
Angelspit is set to release their latest full-length studio album,Cult Of Fake, on June 6th, 2016. For the unacquainted, Angelspit is an electropunk group, masterminded by Zoog Von Rock, which hails from Sydney, Australia (the band currently resides in the United States). They’ve been able to muster eighteen releases since their inception in June of 2004.

Regen Magazine’s Ilker Yücel gives CULT OF FAKE 4.5 Stars
10 years since the band’s full-length debut, Krankhaus, and Angelspit is still cranking out that signature blend of crunchy electronics with an uncompromising in-your-face attitude against banality and societal norms. For this sixth album, Zoog Von Rock called upon the fans for what turned out to be a strikingly successful Kickstarter campaign, and given the lyrical content of Cult of Fake, inspired by numerous political conversations held with fans and drawing on their opinions of the world, it’s perhaps the most fan-centric record Angelspit has yet produced. As well, though the previous album featured numerous collaborations, Cult of Fake is predominantly driven by Von Rock’s singular musical vision, incorporating samples and effects originally utilized on the band’s earlier recordings, ensuring that even after 10 years and six albums, Angelspit retains its unique identity.
CULT OF FAKE is our 6th studio album. It’s due June 6, 2016 – the ten year anniversary of the release our first full length album, KRANKHAUS.
Musically, CULT OF FAKE uses many of the original sounds from Nurse Grenade, Krankhaus and Blood Death Ivory – the harsh clangs and slams sampled in those early days. This time we’ve done something different – we’ve mixed brutal sonic mayhem with club destroying beats. CULT OF FAKE is our first dance album…and it SLAMS!
The lyrics are political – inspired by conversations with you after shows, at clubs or online. Your input has shaped CULT OF FAKE!
CULT OF FAKE is released on June 6th, 2016. Pre-sales are available NOW…see what you can get:
