Angelspit.

It's been a good few months now since I discovered this duo by accident, and despite my definite lack of masculinity, I still have a raging hard-on for these guys.

Angelspit is comprised of the two members DestroyX and ZooG. Doesn't the name DestroyX alone make you wanna listen to them?!
They were formed in Sydney, Australia; just for those people who may read this who don't reside in Aus. Pretty sure they've been touring since they formed, which was about 2004, considering it is now 2008 and I've still yet to see them. (I get my chance to in the next few months. Heck yes.).

They create a fairly distinctive industrial sound. Oh how I love industrial noise. It's like techno, just a thousand times cooler. They've toured as supports for such industrial acts as Frontline Assembly, KMFDM, Cruxshadows and Tankt, just to name a few. They've also remixed tracks by fellow industrial artists.

They're not just good. They're fucking awesome. Seriously. Krankhaus is a bitchin' album, I've listened to it so many times that it will probably break one day from overplaying. The only problem I have with that cd is the song Juicy. That song pisses me off. It's a shame really, the intro is cool but the rest is just.. Not as good as the rest. Even the name alone puts me off. Damn. Get Even and Dead Letter are the best tracks on that cd. Pure fucking industrial bliss. Go download them now if you know what's good for you.

Their first recording, Nurse Grenade, includes the fairly straightforward track Fuck Fashion. Straightforward in the sense you don't need to be a rocket scientist to get the point of the song. Unless you're stupid, and can't detect it from the title alone. Maybe somebody thinks it means they have to go out and fornicate with the prettiest pair of All Stars they can find. Oh gee.. Foot fetish anybody?

Shit Fed (Drug) is probably the most techno sounding song on Nurse Grenade, but damn is it killer. For once DestroyX doesn't handle all the vocal duties. Mmm. Deliciously dirty industrial. What more could you possibly ask for?

Right, I'm gonna go check out the Japanese industrial act BAAL, considering the upcoming Angelspit gig in June/July is entitled Angelspit vs BAAL. Yeah. Double industrial goodness, that is if this BAAL is any good. Here's hoping!
