The Sydney Online Street Press talks to Zoog Von Rock about Angelspit’s new album “Hello My Name Is”
“Angelspit’s new sound is brutal! It’s manic…MANIC! Playing live is so much fun now! We try and smash out a sound combining hardcore punk and electro/industrial. It’s great fun!”
– Zoog Von Rock
Devolution Magazine interviews Zoog Von Rock from Angelspit about their album HELLO MY NAME IS
“We’re pushing the idea of the ‘Occult of the Corporation’ to an extreme – hence the title. ‘Corporate slavery’ is a topic we often touch…but in the new album we’re exploring the idea that it’s an actual cult. It is a religion that allows us to indulge in a wasteful existence while keeping us distracted, unmotivated and exhausted.”

NXLive Magazine Interviews Zoog Von Rock from ANGELSPIT about their remix album “CARBON BEAUTY”
“I asked the remixers to go back to the early 90s – a period when music, art and movies were free and passionate. It was a time where rules were abandoned and art galloped headstrong into a wild and chaotically dark future. It was dangerous and possessed a wild darkness. It was awesome!
I feel our current musical climate is bound by rules that have water logged our genre. Industrial Music is supposed to be angry and political – I always try and remember this when making new material.”

Disturbia [magazine] talks with Zoog Von Rock from Angelspit about their album HELLO MY NAME IS.
” ‘HELLO MY NAME IS‘ is an anthem of defiance in a time of numb despair. It’s obvious that we are slaves to a system…but now we are contributing to that system and making our lives worse with the financial demands we are putting on ourselves. The cost of living has sky rocketed, but wages are not keeping up…plus you have convinced yourself that you need that new massive flat-screen…
Do something crazy before you die – pursue that dream of being a rock star, super model, fashion designer or movie director. You have NOTHING to loose and everything to gain. Life is a wild game…start playing!”

Sonic Seducer Interviews Zoog Von Rock from Angelspit about their album HELLO MY NAME IS
“My main philosophy is : “You are better than this”. I believe creativity has been bored out of our mindset. The simple are of painting, sculpting or making music is being replaced with grazing on computer games or procrastinating on the internet. Though creative hobbies, comes creative thinking. Through creative thinking comes new solutions to improving your life.
Phrases like “I am bored” and “my life sucks” are usually uttered close together. Get active. Entertain your brain!”

Italy’s RITUAL Magazine interviews Zoog Von Rock from Angelspit about their album HELLO MY NAME IS.
” I wanted to challenge myself with HELLO MY NAME IS. I wanted to make something that truly mattered – more than just art, but something political that reflected our time. I wanted to push our lyrical and musical boundaries – I wanted to write lyrics that related to everyone of us.”
– Zoog Von Rock
ANGELSPIT INTERVIEW WITH Nachtaktiv magazine
“It’s a war of man vs machine, electro vs punk every night. We have had situations where the laptop has broken down, and stopped completely, but we keep powering through the tracks. We are one of the few bands who can do this. We won’t stop. It’s manic.
My biggest musical influence came from the mid 90’s, where rock bands took synths and samplers live. The sheer energy was breathtaking. I have always tried to build on this, and make a live experience that people will not forget. Increasingly, I am trying to push our studio-recorded sound to be more alive and high-energy.”
