Deathstars

Deathstars is a Swedish industrial metal band founded in Strömstad in 2000 by Whiplasher Bernadotte and Nightmare Industries. Deathstars was born from the merger of Swordmaster (Andreas Bergh alias Whiplasher Bernadotte on vocals, Emil Nödtveidt alias Nightmare Industries on guitar and keyboard (he is the brother of the late leader of the band Dissection), and Eric Bäckman alias Cat Casino on guitar) with Ophthalamia (Ole Öhman alias Bone W Machine on drums). Their influences are indus, electro and gothic. They draw inspiration from bands such as Kiss, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein or even Kovenant. Since the band's creation, they have tried several looks, first latex and vinyl for the first album, "Synthetic Generation". They then sported gothic and military outfits for the second, "Termination Bliss".
