Press Reviews reviewsfrom STAR #2You may believe that Charles Manson is living under the care and guidance of the California State Penal System,but rumor has it that he hasbeen spending a lot of time in of all places Bradley,IL,the home of Bright Green Records and soon to be local rock gods Angelhood, Their onlytape that I know of is titled "SOUL" (available from BGR for $6.98 ppd.) It’s not your standard Ministry come-lately industrial thrash,nor is it themost innovative music to come along in a generation.It is however,music with heart,with soul, so the name of this tape is no coincidence. The17 tracks of techno-gloom make for a less than great recording quality with an innovative use of samples from various sources, though themany Charlie and Family samples are my favorites. I won’t bother to compare them to other bands because the Angelhood’s next release willdoubtless make me a liar.They have a great sound and an even greater potential to do very innovative recordings/art/video in the future. If it’simportant to you to follow my advice,write to BGR and get more info on Angelhood and other BGR bands, and stop giving all of your money tocorporate rock-give it instead to BGR and Angelhood by ordering "SOUL" and their new tape "PULLING THE STRING OV HATE" which I haven’t heard yet,but,if "SOUL" is any indication I Imagine it must be excellent. from Godsend Angelhood: Pulling the string ov hate (tape) Noisy recording of noisy music.As the title suggests, it’s not a happy,joyous scene.Tonal synth hums and buzzes with tape effects and loops,and the occasional drum machine,not to mention a basic sense of melody.Old school industrial that’s not exceptional,but at times fairlyinteresting. Angelhood: Burn Monotonous electronic feedback\noise music with lots of taped bits of news reports tellingofmurders,killers,deaths,violence and other fun and "dangerous" topics. Seems to be more unrestrained doodling nonsense than anythingelse.A bit underdeveloped. from ND 16 Angelhood: Pulling the string ov hate Collages of classical music,taped voices,spurts of noise,and more to make a sort of ongoing soundtrack.Comes in a limited package video casewith visuals. from She God #1 Angelhood: Dead (tape) side A is brutal,noisy and side b is gorgeously lush........... from She God #1 ANGELHOOD: Live in redneck heaven (tape) Live tape from early 1991.Angelhood is experimental music,sometimes very melodic and beautiful,sometimes brutal and ëarty’noises,percussion,vocal collages included here particularly the Burroughs-esque "IN THEE ZONE" which indeed has excerpts from his book"NAKED LUNCH" and a pretty song called "ANGEL" which I love save for the percussion. from Isolation #11 Angelhood:Pulling the string ov hate (tape) This is a limited edition tape pack (only 50 made) featuring art and photos. The music is 60 minutes of industrial noise. It sounds a bit like JOYBEFORE THE STORM and INSOMNIA. Eerie,gothic,deathly and atmospheric.60 minutes of ghostly keyboards,funeral march percussion,industrial noise and samples. Angelhood: Burn (tape) This is the newest release from Angelhood. Still it seems Xmykl Boyd and Kelee haven’t done anything musically over the past year since thistape was released in the summer of 1991. This is some of the most twisted,psycho material I’ve ever heard. it reminds me a little bit ofSHRINKWRAP. Imagine the most over the edge brutal moments you can think of like....say for instance....a brutal raping,suicide of repeatedbeatings with a club while the victim is screaming out for mercy. That's Angelhood....bringing the most horrible insane moments we all wish wecould forget right out into the open.
