So that wacky duo from down under, Angelspit, are set to release their third album, titled Hideous And Perfect, on 09.09.09. Or, for those of you on drugs, September ninth of 2009. They’ve put together a 20 second (?!#*^%!) “teaser” and have posted it on YouTube. It gives you nothing. There are a couple extremely brief snippets of music (and by “extremely” I mean you’re not going to be able to make out anything of value) and some split-second imagery that will do even less for you. I guess I don’t understand why bands waste their time and ours with this crap. But now I’m going to foist this web smegma on you:

According to the press release, it’s their “darkest” album to date and thematically deals with an “apathetic, cashed-up society who are simply ‘bored to death.’” Whatever. That really doesn’t build up much excitement in my mind. Yet, also of note, the release states that their “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.”

Yeah yeah yeah. Okay. So when do we get a first listen at this material? I couldn’t tell you. All I know is that they’re planning on releasing the cover artwork and pre-sale info Here on July 8th.

Hey, we dig Angelspit here at CastleDTC. Just check out our reviews for Krankhaus and Blood Death Ivory. But I think their hype machine could use a little fine-tuning.

Oh, and in case you weren’t aware, they’re touring the US with KMFDM this Fall, and you can find tour dates at the KMFDM site. They’ll be hitting the Twin Towns Of Terror on October 5th at the mighty First Avenue.
