Celebrate the Dystopian Future with Lorelei Dreaming’s debut release “Banshee” on Kickstarter!
Chicago siren Lorelei Dreaming teams up with Angelspit’s Zoog Von Rock to produce “Banshee” – Lorelei’s debut 5 track EP with 5 bonus remixes.
Lorelei has recorded, played live and toured with bands such as Angelspit, Velvet Acid Christ, Go Fight and St. Griselda.
“The future is uncertain- but what is certain is that music and dance will continue to be integral to our community in the face of adversity. Now more than ever, we need to celebrate our diversity and come together through dance and music. The grim future never sounded so good!”
– Lorelei
“We both love Gary Numan, Goldfrapp, Depeche Mode – future pop with a twist of darkness, which we call Dystopian Future Pop. We’re working to create music based around what Laura naturally does, vocals that are a little sultry and ethereal.”
– Zoog Von Rock, Angelspit
The songs of Lorelei Dreaming hinge on mischief, dissent, pushing out ever further, and at times get glibly political.

An InterView with Zoog Von Rock of Angelspit By (Ilker81x)
For a whole decade, Angelspit has stood as a singular entity in the electro/industrial music scene, characterized by aggressively crunchy beats, caustic electronic textures, unorthodox songs structures, and driven by socio-politically charged lyrics that stem from front man Zoog Von Rock’s in-your-face punk sensibilities. Since the band’s 2006 Krankhaus debut, the lineup has changed, but the band’s sonic and lyrical vocabulary has stayed the same, embracing edgy fashion and varying styles of electronic music to create a unique style that is identifiably Angelspit. For the band’s sixth album, CULT OF FAKE, Von Rock took things in a different direction; still true to the virulent and distorted industrial clanks and clatters of the past, CULT OF FAKE took a heavy influence from modern dance music, incorporating elements of techno and EDM in a way the band’s music had only hinted at before to create what Von Rock has referred to as “the soundtrack to ‘Hell Yeah!’” Funded via a successful Kickstarter campaign, CULT OF FAKE also looked back to the band’s past with the infusion of sounds and samples from Krankhaus, serving as a keen reminder of where Angelspit has been, how far the band has come, and how much further things have yet to go. Taking the time to discuss his music with ReGen, Von Rock speaks about the development of Angelspit’s musical identity over the course of the last decade to culminate in his latest outing. With topics ranging from classic science fiction and political history to the breaking down of the industrial scene, Von Rock declares loudly and proudly, “Fuck Art! Let’s Dance!”

Italy’s Ritual Magazine talks with Zoog about Angelspit’s new album Cult Of Fake.
It’s ok to accept that the “system is fucked” – it’s always been fucked. It’s NOT OK to accept that we are powerless to change it….and we can change it!

Vampire Freaks talks with Zoog about Angelspit’s new album Cult Of Fake.
The problem is greed and need to manipulate. Some people take “survival of the fittest” to an extreme and use it as an excuse to destroy others. Ironic how it has become a dogmatic religious doctrine.
