Deathstars added as special guests of Rammstein
DEATHSTARS - “NIGHT ELECTRIC NIGHT”
“When the night just strikes through you
And the night just spread its legs and open up for you”
-DEATHSTARS “Night Electric Night”
So it is here.
After three years it finally comes, the long awaited follow-up album, “Night Electric Night”, to the success of “Termination Bliss”. This time the swedes have done it in an explicit way, and the “Deathglam”-genre they started sounds more Deathstars then ever; it’s dark and hard yet huge and warm - paradox that works for them, as usual.
Nightmare Industries takes a drag on his Marlboro Light and leans forward.
- This album is the very mirror of our last years in this manic environment that this band exists within. The album is tough, black, yet seductive in it’s expression of the urban destructive nightside. Also changing structures and using even more varied elements have strengthened and deepened the richness in the music.
The success of Termination Bliss threw the boys of death to the very stars. The combination of cynical irony - that constant humour that so well defines the band - but also the extremely black seriousness that structures the heart of every song, Deathstars walk the fine line of sophisticated darkness and the always clear and present vibe of sex, guts and horrorish vogue. It is dead serious but also entertaining, and somewhat frightening.
- I am very pleased with how the songs illustrates our lives, because that’s what it’s all about - our everynight situations and the timeless sounds of the depraved city. It is the absolute Fort Knox of modern dark rock, says Whiplasher. Rich and golden. We feel very good about where we took the deathglam this time.
As powerful as much as their songs are filled with true substance based upon their lives they always raise peoples eyebrows. A ravishing rock group of many faces and with members who are as weird as charismatic their unconventional shows never goes unnoticed. Just during the period of a year Deathstars almost made 200 gigs and except their own headlining tours Deathstars also toured Europe together with bands like Cradle of Filth and KORN and overall had a huge success. Deathstars also won the awards as Best Newcomers in the U.K at the Golden Gods Awards 2007 for Termination Bliss, as well as the TV-/radio-contest for established bands Get In The Ring the same year. They’ve been on the charts in Europe, they are among the absolute best selling rock bands in Sweden, where they’ve also topped TV- and radio-charts.
Deathstars will tour the world with “Night Electric Night” in 2009.
“Night Electric Night” was recorde in Metrosonic Studios in New York City, USA, and in Future Legends studios in Stockholm, Sweden. Produced by Nightmare Industries and mixed by Stefan Glaumann.

After highly acclaimed appearances in Australia and South Africa, and following an extended tour of North America and Mexico, for which they were awarded Best Live Band at the REVOLVER GOLDEN GODS AWARDS, it would seem as though they had finally deserved to take a breather.
RAMMSTEIN are not resting but have assembled a retrospective of their greatest successes: “Made In Germany 1995 - 2011”!
The machinery of RAMMSTEIN Live is hauling across the whole of Europe and bringing the essence of 16 years to the stage. With a completely new show, and with RAMMSTEIN’s Greatest Hits.
Observers know this: The new RAMMSTEIN spectacle will be a rebirth in thunder!
Parallel to the tour, the band is releasing its personal look back at 20 RAMMSTEIN original bests, including an unreleased track, as well as the entire video catalog.
The work’s title, “Made In Germany 1995 – 2011”, attests likewise that a fair number of the achievements highlighted may well be definitive ones.
