about
Queen of the Static Opera and Angelspit team up to release their new single “Breathing But Not Alive”. The single is released under their new side-project VENUS OF GORGON with the dueling vocals of Melody Lynn (Queen of the Static Opera) and Zoog Von Rock (Angelspit). The track features a brutal synths colliding with “Blaster Beam” - a 6 foot aluminum stringed instrument armed with industrial strength wires and a barrage of Metal guitar pick-ups producing a wall of distortion.
“Breathing But Not Alive” is inspired by Melody and Zoog’s shared experience with being trapped a small town and breaking free of the oppressive mindset
lyrics
BREATHING BUT NOT ALIVE
T=132BPM
AAAHHH!!
VERSE 1/
Every car crash every
Every bloodied face
Demolished time
Like it’s keeping me in place
Charging down the highway (so bored I wanna die)
Just to feel alive (city blocks of top shelf ruin)
Head out the window (trapped in it’s teeth)
Scream at the sky (there’s no escape, there’s no escape, there’s no escape)
BUILD UP/
I’m not living
I’m just coping
There’s no escape, there’s no escape, there’s no escape
CHORUS/
Breathing! Breathing! Breathing! Breathing!
Breathing but not alive
Breathing! Breathing! Breathing! Breathing!
Breathing but not alive
AAAHHHH!!
VERSE 2/
Nothing else to do
Just snort stuff and destroy bars
Not living in a nice town
Heroine and burning cars
BUILD UP/
I’m not living
I’m just coping
There’s no escape, there’s no escape, there’s no escape
CHORUS/
The animal waits inside
Breathing but not alive
Breathing! Breathing!
Breathing but not alive
Instrumental breakdown
MIDDLE 8/
We’re burning down Hollywood (breathe!)
To make the next Detroit
We’re burning down Hollywood (breathe!)
To make the next Detroit
BUILD UP/
I’m not living
I’m just coping
There’s no escape, there’s no escape, there’s no escape
Screaming at the sky!
AAAHHHH!!
CHORUS/
The animal waits inside
Breathing but not alive (sung)
Breathing! Breathing!
Breathing but not alive (sung)
Breathing! Breathing!
Breathing! Breathing!
Breathing! Breathing!
Breathing! Breathing!
Breathing but not alive (sung)
Breathe!
Breathe!
Breathe!
Breathe!

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. This release holds no bars, and even introduces some retro vibe that at once may seem pleasantly settling but also becomes perversely pornographic. Awesome Incarnate! luxvoltaire
