Imagination Revolutions Interview
ZooG talks to Didly 'Kristine' Wonka from Brisbane zine Imagination Revolutions

Didly: On your website, it states that Angelspit's "sights are set on annihilating audiences and putting the aggression back into industrial music". What is your opinion on Industrial Music before your creations were born?

ZooG: Industrial Music was fresh and cutting edge in the 80's and early 90's. I think it slowed down a little mid-late 90s when it got a little formulated. Don't get me wrong - there has been some AWESOME music happening since the mid-late 90 though to now.

Our music is only half industrial - the other 'parent' is indie/grunge ROCK. Sonic Youth, Plecebo and many other bands from outside industrial have gone into the cooking pot.

Our biggest industrial influence would be Skinny Puppy. Their sound design and willingness to push the envelope are awesome!

Working with the other bands in the Crash Frequency collective has been amazing! They've been an awesome inspiration and extremely encouraging!

Didly: 'Krankhaus' was officially released on the 06/06/2006. How important was this to the band and how long before the release was the album ready?

ZooG: 6-6-6 was convenient date to work towards. We'd been working hard on the album for 18 months. From January - June 05 we were working on the concept and planning the photoshoot. We did the shoot in August05, and have been working on the tracks since October 04.
We had pushed the launch date back several times, but we decided it should be ready in June…and 6-6-6 was kind of apt.
666 is about positive Human power and change - not destruction.

Didly: When the band was growing up, what did you both want to be?

ZooG: Shiva.

Didly: What was the atmosphere like supporting KMFDM in 2004?

ZooG: Mind Blowing!
Walking out to 700 angsty teenagers who HATED us! It was the best fun! We just yelled back at them for the set and gave them everything we had. Some of them liked us by the end of it.
We had the awesome opportunity to meet KMFDM - hey are a brilliant bunch of people. To be honest, we weren't huge fans before we saw them - but since seeing them we think they ROCK!!!
