Germany’s Sonic Seducer talk to Zoog about Angelspit’s new album “THE BASTARD GODS“
In the promotion around the album it is written everywhere that this is your most brutal work. Why is this description so important to you?
Angelspit always strives create something terrifying and beautiful. “THE BASTARD GODS“ is new for Angelspit because the melodies came from samples of scraping and bashing large springs, metal sculptures and anything I could find. These sounds have intense harmonics which sound terrifying when sampled and distorted. This created something nasty and disturbingly beautiful – resulting in Angelspit’s most brutal album to date.
I have a collection of 80s samplers – EMAX I (I own 4), K2000, Emulator II, Emulator III and Emulator IV. These samplers are the most widely used in Industrial music – as I wanted the sound of 1987-1993, such a wonderful time for Industrial music! I have a big collection of guitar pedals – which were used to distort the samples. The music was created entirely with samplers, distortion pedal, outboard gear, my massive modular synth and analogue synths – no Softsynths or plugin-effects were used. I wanted to stay true to my Industrial roots.
