* ItsPopularNowItsSucks: "A La Mode, A La Mort" and "Channel Hell" both protest against the appropriation of alternative styles by the mainstream.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Most songs have both [=ZooG=] and [=DestroyX=] singing, or [=DestroyX=] alone. There aren't that many songs where [=ZooG=] is the primary singer ("Sleep Now", "Juicy", "Violence", "Sunrise" and "As It Is In Heaven"), but they're brilliant just the same.
** "Toxic Girl", "Glitchbomb" and "Like It? Lick It!" are the only songs that have Valerie and Chris singing. OK, screaming.

* A new album is in the works, to be released at some point in 2014

** There's also an {{Eraserhead}} poster on the wall behind the computer.

** ''Carbon Beauty'' is a line from "Ditch The Rest" ("Smash the whole fucking nest, take the queen, ditch the rest. Carbon beauty, shred the lips, take the queen, ditch the rest.")

-->'''[=ZooG=]:''' "NEON TARANTULA" is the COOLEST name for a band!! Can someone please use this?
** [=ZooG=] also said that 'Angst and the Revolution' would be a great name for a rock band.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Eagle-eyed viewers might recognise [[Music/{{Shiv-r}} Pete and Wendy Crane]] as two of the members of Krankhaus in the video for "Vena Cava".

* IntercourseWithYou: Whether intended or not, see DoubleEntendre.

* AGoodNameForARockBand: Their name came from a SonicYouth song ("Orange Rolls, Angel's Spit").

One of Australia's most well-known industrial bands, Angelspit is a unique industrial act that have been destroying sound and music alike for years. The group began in the early 2000's, when Karl Learmont and Amelia Tan met on an online zine forum. Together, they worked on Amelia's zine distro, Vox Populis, eventually turning it into the largest zine distro in the Southern Hemisphere. From there, they started making their own zines, and finally started making music. The band's name comes from the SonicYouth song 'Orange Rolls, Angel's Spit'- both are fans of the band. Having created the stage names '[=ZooG=]' and '[=DestroyX=]' for themselves, Angelspit began to draw attention through their unconventional style of music, their 'we don't give a fuck what you think' attitude, and their awesome mode of dress. They released their first EP, ''Nurse Grenade'' in 2004, and continued on, releasing their first album, ''Krankhaus'', in 2006. Having closed the distro to focus on their music, they then released a music video for their song 'Vena Cava' that pretty much defined their schtick.

** After hanging out with New Years Day, the latter ended up [[http://takingroadsmedia.wordpress.com/interviews/new-years-day-december-6-2011-dani-navarro/ drawing a bloody pentagram on the floor of a church they played a gig at and trying to summon the spirit of Music/DavidLeeRoth]].
