Deathstars - Metal

 

Deathstars is a Swedish band from Stockholm that perform industrial and gothic metal. Formed in 2000, the group are noted for their dark horror-themed lyrics, pessimistic and misanthropic social commentary, distinctive trademark face paint, dark stage uniforms and physical appearances that correspond to gothic fashion. They have released three full-length studio albums; Synthetic Generation (2002 in Europe and 2003 in North and South America), Termination Bliss (2006) and Night Electric Night (2009). Deathstars have supported live acts by bands such as Korn and Cradle of Filth, the latter band which was in part inspiration for Deathstars. Deathstars is supporting Rammstein on their Made In Germany 1995-2011 tour. And last week they did play at a sold out "The Globe" here in Stockholm.

The guys in the band seemed to be in really good mood, good to play at home, I think, and it was evident once they got up on stage, good gig.

The current lineup of the band consists primarily of members from Swordmaster, a black metal project that has former members of Dissection, and Ophthalamia. The band currently consists of Whiplasher Bernadotte (lead vocals), Nightmare Industries (guitar and keyboards), Skinny Disco (bass guitar, backing vocals), Vice (drums) and Cat Casino (guitar).

Here are some pictures from the gig, this time it's from Micke Sandström's lens!

Todays tune "Metal" is one of two brand new songs off Deathstars' best of compilation "The Greatest Hits On Earth".
