“Who are we mad at today?” This question seems to resonate in a world overwhelmed by constant strife and scandal, the interconnectivity of social media creating numerous echo chambers that ultimately dissipate into oppressive walls of audiovisual noise. Since the band’s inception, Angelspit has been confronting this overstimulation head on, crafting an electrified industrial/punk sound that has remained singularly identifiable. While this eleventh album does little to deviate from those tenets, “THE BASTARD GODS“ makes good on its promise of being the “most brutal” offering yet, due largely in part to a more streamlined incorporation of the particular elements of Dave Nato’s live drums and the Blaster Beam.

“Like any good remix album, this companion to Angelspit’s “Tough as F*ck” 2017 album runs through a gamut of complementary styles, yet is a cohesive and enjoyable collection.”

ReGen Magazine’s Will Superior reviews Lorelei Dreaming’s EP ‘BANSHEE’ (Produced by Angelspit)

Chicago based artist Laura Bienz takes a different artistic direction with Lorelei Dreaming in comparison to her work with St. Griselda and Angelspit, unleashing a solo project that is modern, versatile, and here to stay.

Lorelei Dreaming is a fresh new project and the brainchild of Chicago musician Laura Bienz. It takes on exquisitely different forms in comparison to her work with St. Griselda and Angelspit. Bienz joined forces with Zoog Von Rock of Angelspit for the creation of this release with a style of music that’s been branded as “Dystopian Future Pop,” and with this project, she works a distinct and captivating approach to songwriting craft that has a strong and magnetic appeal.

Ilker Yücel, the genius behind ReGen Magazine books Zoog Von Rock for a 30minute phone interview…3 hours later, they’re still going…

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!”

Regen Magazine’s Ilker Yücel gives CULT OF FAKE 4.5 Stars

10 years since the band’s full-length debut, Krankhaus, and Angelspit is still cranking out that signature blend of crunchy electronics with an uncompromising in-your-face attitude against banality and societal norms. For this sixth album, Zoog Von Rock called upon the fans for what turned out to be a strikingly successful Kickstarter campaign, and given the lyrical content of Cult of Fake, inspired by numerous political conversations held with fans and drawing on their opinions of the world, it’s perhaps the most fan-centric record Angelspit has yet produced. As well, though the previous album featured numerous collaborations, Cult of Fake is predominantly driven by Von Rock’s singular musical vision, incorporating samples and effects originally utilized on the band’s earlier recordings, ensuring that even after 10 years and six albums, Angelspit retains its unique identity.

ReGen Magazine, Industrial Music’s bible, names Angelspit’s “THE PRODUCT” in their top 20 albums for 2014.

“As fervently acerbic as ever and full of all the punk rock energy that has defined the band for over a decade, Angelspit unveiled what was perhaps its most belligerent and most collaborative release to date. Creating its own microcosm of a corporatized world, resulting in an individual model for business and artistic expression, Angelspit is in a class all its own. Never afraid to infuse accessible pop melodies into a caustic blend of industrialized rock and acidic mechanical noise, ZooG Von Rock and his cohorts continue to confront and confound, even taking Angelspit into darker and more disquieting territory with no signs of softening up.”
