About Me

Starcry is... Just Starcry actually.
It comes from the dark sensuality of that miracle of balance between life and death which is existence; it represents the human power to commune and communicate with our consciousness and with each other, our inability to better the world, our failure to wield the universe; it aims at that level of psychic and corporal liberation that is experienced in trances, so to present a prolonged orgasmic state of nirvana or peace of mind.
Fairly obscure. A psychosis of some sort. Fundamentally f**ked up. One more trivial case of cultural disparity. Another 17 seconds. Not half a billion friends, not half a dozen fans, not even half as vain as we ought to be. Goth-Punk with Metal squeaks in Cyber disguise.
Formed in 1990 in Greece. Gone through a little phase under the name Rockshire, another through England and always through hell and high water. Still going. Never compromised. Never will. Just a little Americanization every now and then in order to keep up. How else would you find us here?
Please, take a look at our vids and pics and check out www.starcry.gr for the load of readable nonsense and the free-to-download Giaour Project. Take note that the official band site is currently quite outdated and a new version is going to replace it pretty soon. Then you can screw the internet and get a real life.
But, since you're reading this, you might as well know that our new CD, "Syphilisation", mastered by Tom Baker (NIN, Ministry, Judas Priest, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Static X), is finally released on December the 22nd, 2008, available in most major record-shops in Greece and specialty ones across the rest of the world. This is our fourth full scale album (14 tracks, 74 minutes), preceded by Ideal Husband (2002), One Night Stand (2004, released 2006) and the Giaour Project (2005 on-line only).
Any international labels, distributors, investors, A&R's, promoters, pimps and other marketing partners interested, please, get in touch with us via this account or directly with Music Post distribution via www.musicpost.gr...

Music:

Member Since: 19/06/2006
Band Website: www.starcry.gr
Band Members: Nick Dachris, Nick Pavlis, Zoe Dachri, joined occasionally by other obscene entities that happen by. If you're interested in joining in, please, send us a message.
Influences: Too many. Start with shutting off the TV and you will come to understand. Music is a medium of communication, torn apart by the Media. Inevitably we are under siege by whatever gets massive promotion. But we are also prey to rapid technological advancement which we deeply respect, so our major influence has got to be this affordable technology and the capability it offers us to challenge, up to a certain level, the concept of reality.

Nick Dachris is additionally influenced by several Art History readings, Alice Cooper and the Sisters of Mercy (the bands), the stinking shit that is modern Greek society, culture, politics and media, and the global humiliation of being born Greek in times like these.
Sounds Like: ... like modern Greek mental dismantlement. And like trying to breath carbon dioxide and humidity, downtown Athens, struggling for basic human issues with Art as the sole weapon. And like a deep sensual celebration of our passage through existence. And like everything else that isn't imitation. And like millions of muted souls given a voice.

A&R's have Starcry listed as very dark middle-eastern-techno-death-metal and GothRock - on the mark.

Our CD's are displayed (if at all) in the same section as Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Front242 and Skinny Puppy.
Record Label: Cockroach Studio
Type of Label: Indie
