Deathstars France

I'd like to meet:

Emil « Nightmare Industries » Nodtveit (ex Dissection) et Andreas « Whiplasher » Bergh, tous deux membres de Swordmaster, forme Deathstars en janvier 2000.
Ils regrutent ensuite Ole « Bone W Machine » Ohman (ex Dissection, ex Swordmaster), Erik « Beast X Electric » Halvorsen (ex Swordmaster).
En décembre 2001, le groupe sort un premier single Synthetic generation avant de donner naissance à leur premier album en mars 2002 avec Synthetic generation qui est enregistré avec Anders Friden (In flames, ex Dark tranquility). Ils partent ensuite en tournée dans la Suède.
Puis en 2003 ils signent chez Nuclear blast qui réédite alors leur premier effort dans le monde entier. Après l'arrivé du bassiste Jonas « Skinny » Kangur le 1 octobre 2003 et une tournée Européenne fin 2003, ils participent aux festivals Stockholm Pride et Zillo Festival en 2004.

"DEATH IN VOGUE"
Yes, they're back and the lyrical quote is pretty much the illustration of the second album from the Swedish Deathstars. On "Termination Bliss" they take an even more powerful step into the modern urban nightside - It's death, It's glitter, a fistful of fire and tons of blank leather.
Deathstars "Termination Bliss" takes the renaissance of the leatherswept members into the artificial heart of their European culture. Where their successful debut "Synthetic Generation" was a first halt for the Swedes, the second album "Termination Bliss" is a huge step in the same direction - a huge step into the western vaccum. It's a deep dive into the dystopia of our personal future, and a bloody crimescene for the ones who still have a grand vision of utopian belief.
Deathstars use themselves as as the objects they try to understand and as the patients they critizise in a time where it's hard to find some substance at all - the world which we work and live in every day. It's about aggression, glamour, loss, decadence and moral downfall; the spirit can best be described as an industrial demigod in black glitter - with a gun, a cigarette and a million dollar smile. It's entertainment from hell.
"It seems that Deathstars is a threat to the common citizen, says W. Bernadotte. But what it's really about is a wake-up call. It's about facing your dark sides. I guess we're the 'Citizen Cain' of our society", he continues with a smile.
With their debut-album "Synthetic Generation", Deathstars immediately made a name for themselves as an act that combined the attitude of the extreme metal underground with a more modern and dynamic expression than other dark rock acts. Both singles/videos - "Synthetic Generation" and "Syndrome" rotated hard on music- tv- and radio- channels all over the world and the success was of course followed by tours and festival-gigs. The debut was released by LED Recordings/Universal Music and Nuclear Blast outside of Scandinavia, but the band has now signed an european deal directly with the German based label Nuclear Blast.
"When the dark does what the dark does best - it's darkness! Let the dark do what the dark does best - let it be darkness!" "CYANIDE"

"It's been four years since we started to record 'Synthetic Generation', but it's been worth the time since each member has had a lot of personal problems... something that can very well be heard on the new album. The thing about 'Termination Bliss' is that it's probably the most complex thing we've ever done when it comes to exploring our individual mental issues.", says Nightmare Industries.
Spawning from well known underground acts in the 90's, such as Dissection, Ophthalamia and Swordmaster, the band brings the true nerve of the scandinavian underground scene into the elite industrial ballrooms of the 21:st century. It's a mighty musical highway that goes via Black- and Death Metal, Electro, Goth, Synth and Rock to end up at the gates of Industry. To put it simple - Deathstars makes darkness look (and sound) good.
As mentioned before, Deathstars has an impressing history. They've been topping the TV-charts in Sweden and Germany, they've made Hollywood-themes, they've been banned from TV-stations and are among the best selling rock acts in Sweden.
"Termination Bliss" was produced by Nightmare Industries in Black Syndicate Studios and mixed by Stefan Glaumann (Rammstein, Clawfinger etc.) at Toytown Studios.

DEATHSTARS – eine im Jahr 2000 gegründete Industrial Metal Band aus Schweden.

Bis Oktober 2003 bestand die Band aus Whiplasher (Voc.), Nightmare Industries (Git. Computersounds), Beast X Electric (Git.) und Bone W Machine (Drums).
Im Oktober 2003 kam Skinny (Bass) zur Band dazu. Anfangs war er nur Live-Basser und Supporter für Synthetic Generation.
Den ersten Vertrag unterschrieben DEATHSTARS bei „Led Records“, wo sie bei einem Gig in einem schwedischen Café entdeckt wurden.
Ihr erstes Album „Synthetic Generation“ (VÖ 2002) kam in Schweden ganz gut an und kämpfte sich mit den beiden Videos „Synthetic Generation“ und „Syndrome“ ganz nach oben im schwedischen TV. Weltweit wurde das Album aber erst später (in Europa 2003) veröffentlicht. Auch weltweit war das Album ganz gut im rennen und im Europäischen TV wurde Synthetic Generation (Video) ``rauf und runter´´ gespielt.
Das neue Album „Termination Bliss“ wird am 27.01.2006 veröffentlicht. Im November 2005 wurde das erste Video „Cyanide“ vom neuen Album gedreht – das Video wird erstmals am 02.12.05 auf einer Party im Schweden veröffentlicht. Der selbe Tag an dem die Single „Cyanide“ (in Schweden) veröffentlicht wird. Während den Aufnahmen 2005 für das neue Album verlies Beast X Electric die Band.
