Deathstars
Deathstars are a popular Swedish industrial/goth-metal group who complement their horror-themed lyrics with sinister matching uniforms and distinctive face paint. Debuting in 2002 with Synthetic Generation, the band found regional success before taking their dark wares to the masses with the release of 2009's internationally charting Night Electric Night. They continued to refine their signature death-glam sound on subsequent efforts The Perfect Cult (2014) and Everything Destroys You (2023).
Founded in 2000 in Stockholm, Deathstars formed around a lineup consisting of vocalist Whiplasher Bernadotte (Andreas Bergh), guitarist/keyboardist Nightmare Industries (Emil Nödtveidt), guitarist Cat Casino (Eric Bäckman), bassist Skinny Disco (Jonas Kangur), and drummer Bone W Machine (Ole Öhman). Prior to founding Deathstars, Nightmare Industries and Bone W Machine were members of the black metal band Swordmaster, founded in 1993. Deathstars made their album debut in 2002 with Synthetic Generation on LED Recordings. It was reasonably successful for an independent label release, reaching the Swedish charts, and it earned the band a recording deal with the European division of Nuclear Blast, which reissued the album internationally in 2003. Deathstars' second album, Termination Bliss (2006), was also a minor hit, reaching the Swedish charts, and the band was chosen to support black metal heavyweights and cited influence Cradle of Filth on their 2006 tour of Europe. Their follow-up album, Night Electric Night (2009), was Deathstars' biggest success to date, reaching the Top Ten in Sweden and charting in several other European countries.
The amicable departures of Bone W Machine (replaced by Oscar "Vice" Leander) in 2011 and Cat Casino in 2013 preceded the arrival of the band's fourth studio album. Released in 2014, The Perfect Cult saw Deathstars deliver a more synth-driven, though no less hard-rocking set of fist-pumping goth-metal anthems. Vice left the fold in 2017, making way for new drummer Nitro. Cat Casino returned to the group shortly after that, and the band began working on their fifth long-player. Initially slated for release in 2020, Everything Destroys You was pushed to 2023 after the COVID-19 pandemic halted touring and recording, marking the longest gap between Deathstars records. Reliably swaggering and brooding, the LP charted in Germany and Switzerland.
