Hideous and Perfect promises to be Angelspit's darkest release to date with its sonic textures ranging from hard pounding beats, to organic atmospheric samples, topped off by a feverishly powerful male and female dual vocal assault.

Hideous and Perfect is a vicious concoction of industrial guitar riffs, clever hooks and pathologically disturbed synths. Consisting of 12 harsh, heavy and deliberate tracks set to self destruct, Hideous and Perfect is challenging as it is catchy.

Angelspit's aesthetic concept is equally as iconic as their musical statement, as they continue to develop their fierce design and fashion aesthetic. Visually arresting photography and bold typography characterises the album's striking artwork making Hideous and Perfect a defining album of the industrial genre.

Smash a stake through heart of God Towers rip heaven apart Shining bastille of future Built by poor hands from India Opulent palace built on trash Blood remembers from flesh to ash Don’t need control over androids When they’re overfed and paranoid Wanting, yearning Tithed to a god who’s always needing Compulsion, demanding Worship debt, forever bleeding Torch the whole fucking nest Take the queen, ditch the rest Carbon beauty, shred the lips Take the queen, ditch the rest Embers of a dying race Getting out what they put in Longer stay, more you’re trapped I have a dream, you have an addiction Cashing in on low supply Some things don’t change There ain’t no lie, like an old lie Turning the meat cakes into slaves Washed up, liquidated Shared broken dreams of slaves and kings Paradise breeds obese lazy fucks A nation without ethics Not in denial I am defiant Skin your trophy Black and sticky Lurid pretty Razor candy Take the Queen, Ditch the Rest Take the Queen, Ditch the Rest Torch the whole fucking nest Take the queen, ditch the rest Carbon beauty, shred the lips Take the queen, ditch the rest Music and Lyrics by Zoog Von Rock 2009.

The TV burned, nobody watched The ratings sucked, so it got axed We keep screaming, you ain’t listening Take your chainsaw, wield it recklessly Crash made, built to fade, FUCK THE REVOLUTION! The money’s real, but the blood is fake, FUCK THE REVOLUTION! The glossy mag, full of beauty story got cut, ‘coz they were ugly Martyrs of change, do not fight back Round and a round, martyrs of the new black Crash Made, Built to fade, FUCK THE REVOLUTION! The money’s real, but the blood is fake, FUCK THE REVOLUTION! Mediocre, bored to death, FUCK THE REVOLUTION! The brave new apathy, FUCK THE REVOLUTION! Then it got streamed, but some college kid Sued the ISP, for breach of copyright We keep screaming, you ain’t listening Take your chainsaw, wield it recklessly Crash Made, Built to fade, FUCK THE REVOLUTION!

6.	Making Money 04:37	lyrics	buy track
Lyrics I crushed up Ergot and made it a paste I spread it on the dollar bills Everyone who touched it caught the disease For luscious bits of landfill It sparked an epidemic of self hate They wanted it so bad they could kill Everyone believing everything ain’t enough Trampling bodies on the treadmill Makin’ money, all things shiny (if you do not spend, you are spent) Bullet into gun Barrel, lips pout Finger in the ring Money into mouth The first letter in Sydney is a dollar sign The first symbol in London is a pound Life ain’t yours til you fucked it away The dream ain’t yours until it’s burned to the ground The city of beauty is built on the dead Temple of wealth is built on the poor Spend life just passing away ‘Til you get up off your belly and crawl Makin’ money, all things shiny (if you do not spend, you are spent) Bullet into gun Barrel, lips pout Finger in the ring Money into mouth You are allowed to burn books, hope can rot Dreams go up in flames, that’s OK We’ll turn a blind eye if you burn a poor man But if you burn money…you’re going to pay Anger is a currency, acidically mad hatred is the new economy I am the inspiration of every wicked woman viscously corrupt, greed is monogamy All power, all truth, all knowing, all destroying, all dying…not caring Makin’ money, all things shiny (if you do not spend, you are spent) Bullet into gun Barrel, lips pout Finger in the ring Money into mouth (if you do not spend, you are spent) Music and Lyrics by Zoog Von Rock 2009.
7.	Sleep Now 04:32	lyrics	buy track
I was not born, I was hatched From larva, to pupa, tank, to coffin The tearing affection I showed with my teeth Crawled from the egg to feed on Mothers frustration Hell was made flesh and bred with goats Allegiance spawned to replace us in face and name The kingdom of apathy ruled by cattle Fuck, scathe, destroy, burn What foul majik is this? Hideous and Perfect drowned out by children singing We are all the same The monster in human is inhumane Sleep now, hush… If I gave you a pound of my sacred flesh Would your sew closed that fucking mouth? Always messing inside my head All that troublesome talk just turns to wrath If I drew a picture of what makes me violent I’d give a shining blade as your answer See your angelic reflection while carving Trenches into your face They put poison in my tank Lucid poltergeist in the form of a child We are all the same The monster in human is inhumane Sleep now, hush… Passing my fingers past your tonsils To retrieve your shining soul Let the rot-red angst drip from my nails Kiss past my teeth to your pure opal Vile airborne demon in my breath Past the age when you don’t care anymore Wounded by the pen, conquered by a sales pitch Her black cherry just turned sour Cogsmen and sweaters all reel in terror Screaming convulsing so deranged We are all the same, The monster in human is inhumane Sleep now, hush… Music and Lyrics by Zoog Von Rock 2009.
8.	Channel Hell 03:59	lyrics	buy track
My friends used to show off their tats Now they talk about filling their bank vault Mellow is the new fad Your life is fucked and it’s all your fault You used to be dangerous and fun Before you got that mortgage Killed by mediocrity, procrastination, blah blah blah now you vote conservative The people of influence are cynical and jaded What hope for the new blood? Habitat destruction, fade to terrorism We’re all imploding Under mass- boredom Sleeping generation can’t embrace the shock There’s nothing left to embrace I needed motivation, you sent a postcard that said “PUNK ROCK” Well fuck you too This is a marketing ploy This is the new black It’s a publicity stunt Relax kick back… Tune in turn up recline practice being dead This is Channel Hell I hope this sledge hammer reminds you who you are What the fuck happened? Angry youth reduced to Ultra-conservative nervous frightened children It was supposed to dangerous It was supposed to be risqué Now it’s cheap and mass produced Now it’s in a bargain bin…on sale This is a marketing ploy This is the new black It’s a publicity stunt Relax kick back… Tune in turn up recline practice being dead This is Channel Hell You only see the filth when you look for it The scene sucks because you suck, you killed it You stood back and let it die… This is a marketing ploy This is the new black It’s a publicity stunt Relax kick back… Tune in turn up recline practice being dead This is Channel Hell Music and Lyrics by Zoog Von Rock 2009.

Sweet gluttony, She says to me Kill ‘til you go insane with pleasure Let me scream, obesity Bloody curses for a God who can not hear My Carcass, my carcass, Swells with excitement Grand things luscious with tar in their hair My Duchess, mistress, bloody dementia Bless the bread with St Anthony ’s Fire Buildings will fall Heaven don’t care Gods in contortion Let the eat distortion Princess pout, rips her teeth out Shards of her lover now spill on the floor Lord Slain, Royal insane Parts of him gummed up under her nails Dried up, vacated, girl mutilating Vindication sits where her curls used to be The smoking, the squealing, cut throat vixen Ashes outline where a king used to plea Buildings will fall Heaven don’t care Gods in contortion Let the eat distortion Gunshot Duke, Holes in the roof While pervert princes peel off their faces Burning and misery, maggots for jewelry The Mad Queen, black as the Aces The drowning, the filth, spasms and Death Diamond studded fists demand more, more more! Demotic, convulsing, the choir rejoicing not going to hell..we’re bringing it here All things shiny, court frenzy Severely pathological, blood orgy Buildings will fall Heaven don’t care Gods in contortion Let the eat distortion Music and Lyrics by Zoog Von Rock 2009.

Found a bullet name scratched in Walking bag of meat fake opinion Switched on market hype Over-run with parasites Terrified to be boxed Fixated on fear of emptiness Dead cynic no remains Splatter the walls with unremarkable grey Carcass does what it’s told (horror, burn, bought, sold) Never questions what it’s seen This is what you need Addiction, overpowers greed This thirst is a must Drugged up on Hyperlust Dead suspended Robot dream Just fodder for Machines Concrete poured in your gut Vermin slave open shut Push paper in the dark Fail-safe system for the caste Final words before you die “What the fuck did you do with your life?” Shit kicker obeys every word (cheat, murder, steal, decay) Discovered by a spade This is what you need Addiction, overpowers greed This thirst is a must Drugged up on Hyperlust She worked tirelessly Maybe to appease her mother Thinking it would atone For all her personal failings Slave away until you’re free Hide you shattered soul from others In this almighty First world prison This is what you need Addiction, overpowers greed This thirst is a must Drugged up on Hyperlust Music and Lyrics by Zoog Von Rock 2009.

I don’t know you, and I don’t really care Fixate on you, perfection, ideal I’m so sorry, this is my guarantee This will happen, worse and repeatedly Sport for crows, patronize you for your own protection Narrow minded, red neck breeding program Drown in her milk, waiting to be replaced Years made vapor, lost and blown away Fear of the dark My mouth is full of ruin, I breathe it into you Princess Chaos I’ll set the world on fire, I’m gunna start with you (One) spoilt child, attention seeking missile (More) abuse, amends and back again (Black) see life, through the eyes of psycho (Heart) I know where you live Casting darkness, deep inside your mind Screaming razors, resonating down your spine Wearing you down, I’ll haunt you where you sleep Venerable, I make the guilt sting Fear of the dark I bathe the world in spite, it keeps you in your place Growing nervous Abused humiliated, naked and ashamed I will find you My mouth is full of ruin, I breathe it into you Princess Chaos I’ll set the world on fire, I’m gunna start with you One more breath for my last black heart Fear of the dark I bathe the world in spite, it keeps you in your place Growing nervous Abused humiliated, naked and ashamed I will find you My mouth is full of ruin, I breathe it into you Princess Chaos I’ll set the world on fire, I’m gunna start with you One more breath for my last black heart I will not circum to fear i won’t be intimidated Music and Lyrics by Zoog Von Rock 2009.

* Spoken dialogue censored * Pearls look best when soiled in cream and mud Pretty things are there to be abused Look their best when skinned and flayed alive All those perfect perfect teeth removed You said.. A hole, that’s what you is You said.. a figment of your expectations What is heaven without the Sabbath (I say) Oh my children can’t sleep through the night Bodies burnt, hair is singed, kissing flame Healing hands sweat and oil never mix The host and I sleep deprived and deranged * Spoken dialogue censored * You said.. don’t blame him for all the slaughter he brings (through our inactivity) You said.. It’s not his fault, even Jesus needs to sleep What is heaven without the Sabbath (I say) On Earth as it is in Heaven * Spoken dialogue censored * On Earth as it is in Heaven Music and Lyrics by Zoog Von Rock 2009.

about

Hailed as being one of the most innovative new industrial bands Angelspit return with a new album Hideous and Perfect, a confronting audio visual statement set to corrupt listeners the world over.

Hideous and Perfect promises to be Angelspit’s darkest release to date with its sonic textures ranging from hard pounding beats, to organic atmospheric samples, topped off by a feverishly powerful male and female dual vocal assault. The duo’s sonic exploration and creative process took them out of the studio, as they recorded much of the album’s pounding industrial percussion at an abandoned shipping yard in Sydney Harbour. They fashioned and sampled handmade acoustic and electronic instruments, imparting a unique organic sonic texture to Hideous and Perfect, while also giving a nod to the experimental roots of industrial music.

Hideous and Perfect is a vicious concoction of industrial guitar riffs, clever hooks and pathologically disturbed synths. Consisting of 12 harsh, heavy and deliberate tracks set to self destruct, Hideous and Perfect is challenging as it is catchy. The cyber punk track Ditch the Rest opens the album, with its crunching malicious guitars and aggressive percussion setting the dynamic for the rest of the album. Cold Hard Cash follows combining deceptively sweet vocals with grinding rhythms and anarchic synth melodies. The tracks range from the hypnotic pounding analogue hell of Sleep Now, to the elegantly deranged Let Them Eat Distortion and to Fuck the Revolution’s brutal and unforgettable rock and roll trip to insanity. Cinematically chilling instrumental tracks provide some respite from the album’s intense mood. Zoog and Destroyx’s turbulent vocal onslaught deals thematically with an apathetic cashed up society who are simply ‘bored to death’. Angelspit’s double edged lyrics can be poetically poignant, at other times witty, but are at all times severely potent.

Angelspit’s aesthetic concept is equally as iconic as their musical statement, as they continue to develop their fierce design and fashion aesthetic. Visually arresting photography and bold typography characterises the album’s striking artwork making Hideous and Perfect a defining album of the industrial genre.
