FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FIRST WORLD APPETITE UNLEASHES “ANGEL SHADES DEMISE”
A cinematic industrial alt-metal assault arriving June 12th
Dutch alternative industrial metal project First World Appetite is set to release its new full-length album Angel Shades Demise on June 12th, a crushing and emotionally charged record built from raw confession, mechanical aggression, and nu metal intensity.
Led by Ronald de Groot, the project continues its mission of turning personal struggle into sonic confrontation, channeling mental health battles, inner conflict, and societal decay into a sound that is as punishing as it is cathartic.

Each video adds another layer to the project’s bleak, industrial aesthetic, reinforcing themes of internal war, manipulation, and survival under pressure.
SOUND AND INFLUENCES
Angel Shades Demise pulls from the industrial aggression of Ministry, the theatrical darkness of Marilyn Manson, and the heavy groove-driven punch of Rob Zombie, while also carrying strong nu metal influence rooted in bands like Slipknot and Korn.
Expect distorted guitars, rapid-fire riffs, industrial synth layers, relentless drumming, and vocal performances that sit right on the edge of breakdown and control.
ABOUT FIRST WORLD APPETITE
Formed in 2017 by Ronald de Groot, First World Appetite is built on confrontation rather than escapism. The project explores themes of mental health, identity collapse, social corruption, and the psychological cost of modern life.
Previous work includes the 2022 album LXIV and a 2024 industrial reimagining of Tom Waits’ “Goin’ Out West,” both reinforcing the project’s commitment to dark, honest expression without compromise.
This is not polished fantasy. It is pressure, release, and truth set to distortion.
