Masseling was aged 16 when his first experience with music production occurred in 1997. He had been working on his productions constantly. After sending a demo out to BZRK Records, Mark Vos (aka Buzz Fuzz) contacted him to do business. After a while of mastering and editing, BZRK033 was born. Under the alias Menace II Society, the "Son of a Bitch" EP entered the market. Almost at the same time, the first Angerfist EP was released on Overload Records. However, even though the track Chronic Disorder, made Menace II Society a well known name, Angerfist would grow out to be one of the biggest names in the scene. Tracks such as Criminally Insane and Fuck Off were immediately recognized as relatively big hits. It is from that where Masseling first stepped foot in the scene. After releasing an EP under the third alias Kid Morbid, he chose Angerfist to be his main project.
Still excited about this sudden rush of records and the enthusiastic hardcore fans, Angerfist continued producing and releasing tracks. In 2003, the Sons of Satan EP was released on Masters of Hardcore Records. The idea for an Angerfist act, to bring the vibe to the parties would soon appear. Bringing the hard, gabber beats, wearing hockey-masks and hooded sweatshirts, was an instant success. A year of parties and performances went by, as Masseling worked on a record that would turn out to become his biggest hit; in 2004, the Raise Your Fist EP was released.
In 2006, Angerfist was one of the leading acts of the scene, with a massive number of fans. Angerfist had become popular not only in the Netherlands, but also had a good amount of success worldwide. They performed at parties and shows in countries such as Switzerland, Scotland, the United States, Russia, Australia, Germany, Finland, Spain, Italy and more.
In 2006, after 5 years, the Pissin Razorbladez double CD + DVD album was released. The album featured some of the original tracks from the beginning of the century, as well as newly produced ones. The first time it was available for the people, was at the sold out release party at the Hemkade in Zaandam. In 2007, more releases followed and Angerfist was chosen as the performance to close the world's leading hard dance event - Sensation Black. Two years after the first album, in March 2008, their first solo concert was planned; Angerfist: The Mutilate Concert, named after the new album which was also released that same month. Both the concert and the new double album were tremendously successful.
For most of this time, Angerfist was still a bit of a mysterious figure. Pictures of the group's face were rarely seen, and only a tiny snippet of interviews existed. All of this changed when the official YouTube and Facebook pages were introduced mid 2009. Angerfist now provides previews of upcoming tracks, and sometimes actively interacts with his fans across the globe.
Come October 2011, Angerfist was voted #39 in DJ Magazine's Top 100 DJs of 2011. Angerfist released a new album, "Retaliate", on November 26, 2011.
Currently Angerfist consists of two people: DJ Angerfist & MC Prozac.
Stainless Steel
Angerfist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your bloodstains are all over this steel goddang it
Strapped with a grenade
In the pool with your mama
Attack her by the legs then I pull her to the bottom (x2)
I'll reach in your mouth and pull your fuckin' skeleton out (x2)
The saga continues, with the worlds most dangerous group
Four deep in the coup
Strapped with a grenade
In the pool with your mama
Attack her by the legs then I pull her to the bottom (x2)
I'll reach in your mouth and pull your fuckin' skeleton out
Strapped with a grenade
Born brainless, this steel ain't stainless
Your bloodstains are all over this steel goddang it
The lyrics to Angerfist's song "Stainless Steel" are disturbing and violent in nature, and require a careful interpretive approach. The opening lines, "Born brainless, this steel ain't stainless / Your bloodstains are all over this steel goddang it," suggest a level of detachment and objectification of violence. The implication is that the singer sees themselves and others as being born with a lack of empathy or morality (i.e. 'brainless'), and that violence is a natural and inevitable consequence of this condition. The use of the term "steel" is also interesting, as it suggests a sense of coldness or hardness, perhaps reflecting the singer's own emotional state.
The next lines, "Strapped with a grenade / In the pool with your mama / Attack her by the legs then I pull her to the bottom," continue the violent and disturbing imagery. The singer is shown to be armed with a grenade, which is then deployed in a domestic setting where the victim's mother is present. The idea of attacking the victim's mother by the legs and pulling her to the bottom of the pool suggests a level of sadism and cruelty that is difficult to fathom.
The final lines, "I'll reach in your mouth and pull your fuckin' skeleton out," are perhaps the most jarring of all. They suggest a level of violence that goes far beyond the physical, into the realm of the metaphysical. The singer is not content to simply harm, maim, or kill their victim - they want to strip away their very identity and expose their innermost core. Overall, the lyrics to "Stainless Steel" are deeply disturbing, and reflect an unflinching exploration of the darker recesses of the human psyche.
