Cyberpunk outfit Angelspit launch a full-frontal assault with the release of Carbon Beauty, the second installment in Angelspit’s Hideous and Perfect remix series, through Black Pill Red Pill Records.
"We told contributing artists to make the most savage and pounding remixes possible," says Angelspit’s ZooG, "resulting in 10 tracks guaranteed to splinter dance floors and cause bodily hemorrhage." The contributing artist line-up includes tweaker, 16 Volt, Ego Likeness, Baal, Dope Stars Inc. and more.
Angelspit also brings three exclusive tracks to the album, featuring guest musicians Valerie Gentile (Black Tape for a Blue Girl) and Chris Kling (Hanzel und Gretyl, Mortiis). The album will also include a stunning visual element, with artwork and photography shot by Helen White.
Angelspit will "smash a stake through heart of God" again with a brand new music video for Hideous and Perfect track "Ditch the Rest," directed by Thomas Marcusson, Stephanie Rajalingam and Ole Magnus Saxegard. The video will be released in conjunction time as Carbon Beauty, along with an accompanying music video for the Carbon Beauty track "Toxic Girl," directed by Tamas Mesmer.
"Carbon Beauty is an exercise in brutality," says ZooG. "Angelspit is hell-bent on waking Punk from its slumber."
