Sandra M. Heinzelmann from Sonic Seducer gives Angelspit’s Cult Of Fake a close listen
Strong beats and pumping basses driving hook-lines which cover the whole range from soft sounding old school synthesizers to cold and industrial sounding modern machinery.

Angelspit’s latest album Cult Of Fake is overwhelming, accessible and dancey, while at the same time it shines with sonic complexity and careful craftsmanship. The 12 songs unfold with strong agitating energy. If you don’t get kicked off the sofa to dance, run a marathon, organize a demonstration or just start a flashmob, then you’re probably already one of the undead.
The only song with a calmer vibe is “On The List (She’s Not)”, which has a laid back instrumentation and the soothing voice of guest-vocalist Lorelei. Other than that the pressure stays up, strong beats and pumping basses driving hook-lines which cover the whole range from soft sounding old school synthesizers to cold and industrial sounding modern machinery.
The last track “My Little Blades” gives you a cosy feeling of Casio and Neue Deutsche Welle, while the vocals are slapping you on the back of your head to enhance thinking. In general the lyrics are a frontal attack – just listen to the first two tracks “Thanks For Your Cooperation” and “Eat Volts” as an example. Cult Of Fake requires a close listen in order to grasp the depth of the lyrics including a hint of pitch black humor.
