An InterView with Zoog Von Rock of Angelspit By (Ilker81x)
For a whole decade, Angelspit has stood as a singular entity in the electro/industrial music scene, characterized by aggressively crunchy beats, caustic electronic textures, unorthodox songs structures, and driven by socio-politically charged lyrics that stem from front man Zoog Von Rock’s in-your-face punk sensibilities. Since the band’s 2006 Krankhaus debut, the lineup has changed, but the band’s sonic and lyrical vocabulary has stayed the same, embracing edgy fashion and varying styles of electronic music to create a unique style that is identifiably Angelspit. For the band’s sixth album, CULT OF FAKE, Von Rock took things in a different direction; still true to the virulent and distorted industrial clanks and clatters of the past, CULT OF FAKE took a heavy influence from modern dance music, incorporating elements of techno and EDM in a way the band’s music had only hinted at before to create what Von Rock has referred to as “the soundtrack to ‘Hell Yeah!’” Funded via a successful Kickstarter campaign, CULT OF FAKE also looked back to the band’s past with the infusion of sounds and samples from Krankhaus, serving as a keen reminder of where Angelspit has been, how far the band has come, and how much further things have yet to go. Taking the time to discuss his music with ReGen, Von Rock speaks about the development of Angelspit’s musical identity over the course of the last decade to culminate in his latest outing. With topics ranging from classic science fiction and political history to the breaking down of the industrial scene, Von Rock declares loudly and proudly, “Fuck Art! Let’s Dance!”

Italy’s Ritual Magazine talks with Zoog about Angelspit’s new album Cult Of Fake.
It’s ok to accept that the “system is fucked” – it’s always been fucked. It’s NOT OK to accept that we are powerless to change it….and we can change it!

Vampire Freaks talks with Zoog about Angelspit’s new album Cult Of Fake.
The problem is greed and need to manipulate. Some people take “survival of the fittest” to an extreme and use it as an excuse to destroy others. Ironic how it has become a dogmatic religious doctrine.

Nataliez World talks with Zoog about Angelspit’s new album Cult Of Fake.
I am not afraid to experiment. I know the audience is smart and willing to hear something new. I do not care about the “marketing expectations” that have been put in place by DJs and labels. Let’s do something exciting and different. We are not bound by rules.

Don’t let the world shut you down. Don’t let the bitter few snuff out your flame of passion. Go find a new favourite band, get back into your old hobby – pick up that guitar or get painting again. Start going to open-mic sessions, or figure drawing lessons. Do not let self doubt make decisions for you. TODAY IS AWESOME!
