Trubie Turner from VIRUS! Magazine reviews KRANKHAUS

ANGELSPIT
Krankhaus
Label: Crash Frequency

Distinctive, harsh, aggressive, and sexy, Angelspit’s first full length album is an explosion of energy that gets stuck in your head like shrapnel.

Australia’s Angelspit has constructed an incredibly infectious album containing track after track of crunchy grinding dance floor friendly anthems that you’ll find impossible to get out of your head.

Even tracks I didn’t care for at first have grown on me and run through my head long after the CD is done playing.
For example, the track “Juicy” stood out like a sore thumb at first because of the very different vocal style used for that song. After my initial knee-jerk negative reaction, the song grew on me considerably and now feels like it fits in the album perfectly.

Picking out the album’s highlights is a difficult task since I don’t want to just give a track listing. What might be easier is to just list the songs that are going through my head the most often.

“A La Mode, A La Mort”, “Vena Cava”, “100%”, and “Wolf” all continue to play in my subconscious frequently, but it is the last and my personal favorite track, “Wreak Havoc” that just will not stop and is slowly driving me mad. It is an incredibly frantic and energetic track that sets my blood pumping and makes me want to destroy something.

The album leaves me struggling to find anything negative to say about it. If I must nitpick, the track “Dead Letter” is a bit overly repetitive in the vocals and the instrumental track “Black Wine” feels like it drags on a touch too long. However, those are hardly worth mentioning and don’t detract from the overall quality of the album in the slightest.

This is just an absolutely fantastic album, and quite easily one of the best I’ve heard this year. I really look forward to what Angelspit has in store for us next and hope to see a lot from them in the years to come.
