Auxiliary Magazine’s Rocki Lee sinks her teeth into Angelspit’s album THE PRODUCT
ANGELSPIT – THE PRODUCT
After a decade since their debut album, KRANKHAUS, Angelspit has shown no lull in committing aural violence over the years. With their new release THE PRODUCT, the band showcases new lyrical structures, complex guitar chords, and guest collaborators. However none of this is at the expense of Angelspit’s signature flavor.
Steven Gullotta from Brutal Resonance eZine reviews Angelspit’s ‘The Product’
If there is one thing that I can immediately say about Zoog Von Rock, it’s that I admire his dedication to his band. Like many other artists, he’s traveled around the States recording a shit ton of odd sounds (From demolished buildings in Detroit to synthesizers build by UFO hunters in Nevade, go figure) just to get the right noise for his most recent album, The Product. Released back in March, he recruited a bunch of other different artists to help out on the album and add some extra flavor to the overall dish that he’s serving up.
Necromag (the hub of hard edged content from the whole spectrum of heavier genres) reviews Angelspit’s latest CD ‘THE PRODUCT’.
“Track after track of accessible, infectious industrial that is altogether danceable, memorable and packed with satisfying scorn.”
METALLIVILLE (The UK’s finest Rock and Metal Webzine) gives 10/10 to Angelspit latest album ‘THE PRODUCT’.
“It’s fresh, on-edge, in-your-face and you don’t know what is coming next at all – totally unpredictable baby!”
Angelspit are unique and one of the most consistently entertaining crossover acts in the world.
“Mixing industrial with rock and punk, utilising home-made electronic instruments and an incredible visual aesthetic to their releases, the music sounds like a riot and the image is nothing short of art.”
Anyway you look at it though, this time around the material is more in-depth rather intense at times, having the guitar work like jiggered chainsaws with its beats, the synths and various other sounds all blended together, into this mayhem of chaos while all the contributors wrap it altogether. In short, “The Product” is a release that rather screams at you with its bouncy excessive beats.
Those of you familiar with my past writings will be intimately familiar with Angelspit (and my obsession with them), but for the rest of you expecting something more metal, this may not be for you. Angelspit instead create hyper-aggressive industrial/electro-punk music with some of the most twisted lyrics you will ever hear.
I discovered the Australian duo Angelspit fans of EBM – I asked them for recommendations for metalheads. Angelspit makes a kind of cyberpunk, synthesizers are slain, drum machines and samplers burn tortured as viscous guitars and corruptive beats are added to the mix.
“Angelspit has a very unique sound which is incredibly hard to classify. There’s some strong punk-rock elements in there along with some industrial synths as well as raw industrial noise with distorted guitars and vocals. Yet it’s the bizarre vocal style which truly makes these guys stand out.”
