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.”
Stephanie Davidson from ISN Radio reviews Angelspit’s “The Product”.
“The Product is definitely one for fans of the unique Angelspit brand of electro/industrial/cyberpunk/chaos. The lyrics are punchy and brutally awesome in that demented Angelspit way, and I’m already looking forward to the next Angelspit album.”
Angelspit recently completed a psychotic killer remix for Sydney band Our Last Enemy. Zoog choose to mutilate their track “Don’t Look Now” – and the reviews are positive!!
Dallas, TX, The Church, 12/02/2012
“Angelspit seemed to feed off the intensity and anxiousness from the
audience. Tracks like “Toxic Girl,” “100%,” “Maggot” and “Like It, Lick It” sent fans from light bouncing and singing to straight up shoving and screaming.”

Atlanta, GA, The Shelter, 11/30/2012
“From song to song, Angelspit pushed the audience from lively and energetic to wild and completely out of control as there was no slowing down, no silence, and no rest.”

“Angelspit’s set was darkly witty, and impeccably rehearsed,
a ferociously artistic passion play set in a dissonant electropunk backdrop….(Angelspit) proved that even if dark electronic music is dead, the carcass is starting to twitch again.”

David Lees from SONIC SHOCKS reviews Angelspit’s live mayhem at their gig in Scotland.
“with their glitchy electro, cyberpunk style they’re a very different beast from the generic EBM that seems to make up most of the scene these days.
The punk aesthetic stretches to their live performance as well – they’re
clearly dedicated to putting on a rock show.”
