Editor's note

Deathstars, the Swedish industrial metal band

A Stockholm group that mixes heavy guitars with electronic programming and theatrical vocals.

For a quick sense of their thing, try 'Blitzkrieg' or 'Death Dies Hard.' They're both pretty representative of that dark, synthetic energy.

They carved out a specific lane in industrial metal with songs like 'Cyanide' and 'Blitzkrieg,' which pair driving synths and distorted riffs with Andreas Bergh's dramatic delivery. That sound, heard on tracks like 'Death Dies Hard' and 'All the Devil's Toys,' gave them a dedicated following even without mainstream metal crossover.

Formed around 2000 as Swordmaster, they released their first album 'Synthetic Generation' in 2003. Later records like 'Termination Bliss' in 2006 and 'Night Electric Night' in 2009 kept refining that industrial metal style, with a settled lineup including Emil Nödtveidt on guitar.

Archive material and source history

Deathstars formed in Stockholm around 2000, originally called Swordmaster. Andreas Bergh, who goes by Whiplasher Bernadotte on stage, started the project. Their first album, 'Synthetic Generation,' came out in 2003 and leaned into industrial metal. Songs like 'Cyanide' and 'Death Dies Hard' have that mix of electronic programming and heavy guitars that became their thing.

They put out 'Termination Bliss' in 2006, which included 'Blitzkrieg.' That track shows their style pretty clearly, driving synths, distorted riffs, and Bergh's theatrical vocals. The band's lineup settled with Emil Nödtveidt on guitar, Jonas Kangur on bass, Oscar Leander on keyboards, and Ole Öhman on drums.

After 'Termination Bliss,' they released 'Night Electric Night' in 2009 and kept going with albums in 2014 and 2017. Their sound stayed in that industrial metal lane, with tracks like 'All the Devil's Toys' carrying the same dark, synthetic energy. They never really broke into mainstream metal circles, but they built a specific audience that liked their particular blend.
