DEATHSTARS dug deep into their closets and found some good old private footage from the Termination Bliss album period. They compiled a little video for all you DEATHSTARS maniacs and it can now be viewed on the bands Youtube page. The material includes studio recording and mixing sessions, as well as private footage from the Cyanide and Blitzkrieg video shoots and more.Click here to watch it! Enjoy!
Hamburg was a pleasant night for Deathstars. Especially since Sonic Syndicate took the full step to become fully Deathstarized. Gradually they have walked their way to the end of the line. Yesterday they even looked like us (see pics) and adapted our patented moves. The tour finally was 100% Death Syndicate Tour.
Today is the end of this six weeks rendezvous with death and glam. We are back in Sweden, playing at KB in Malmö. Dante gave - what we thought - his last breath when he just died outside the venue. We were very pleased. For a while. While we were dancing on Dante's grave the vehicle of hell woke up again, like a disoriented zombie the black beast started to breathe again. Dante Dies Hard.
After getting all our stuff from the belly of the beast the day has consisted of few things. Backstage the iPig is starting up the final party for the boys and the girls. Friends and girlfriends are arriving from far cities. Robin in SS is getting his whole arm tatooed, Skinny is partying, Nightmare is working on something, Bone is hanging out with his family and Cat is at the Hotel. Whip is bandaging his torn knees from all the powersliding.
This morning Skinny was up on deck on the ferry from Germany to Denmark. He found a schoolclass which he got obsessed with. He was desperately trying to find the teacher (who knows why) and was filming people intensely that he didn't know. Bone was watching the whole scenario and was very very surprised that the hooligans watching Skinny's actions didn't kick the bassplayers ass. Incredible.
We would like to say thank you to all the people who came to the shows. You are the best! We will continue with blogging from the UK-tour which starts on April 8th. Last but not least we would also like to salute Sonic Syndicate. A fantastic band and now also very good friends of ours.
We are in Hamburg now. Sorry that we have missed to post blogs the last two days, but it just haven't been in the stars for us the last days. Very weird days, these last days. And it's tough business, this rockbusiness.
Frankfurt was nice. Thanks to all boys and girls who showed their appreciation for the band in pre-carnal ways.
After Frankfurt we had a day off in Munich. Whip, Skinny, Bone, Carro and Karin hung out at a Bierstuge at Ostbahnhof, hiding from the hailstorm. Cat, Micke and some of the guys from Sonic Syndicate went to a swimming hall to take care of their bodies. In the Bierstuge though, the guys did everything to destroy their bodies. Actually, it didn't take long until they had made the 50 year old waitress to stand on her hands and tipping her with 20€ bills. How charming the kids of the Deathsyndicate-tour can be. Our bus was parked just outside Kultfabrik, the partyarea, and next to Dante was a black metal-show of three bands. Bone and Skinny went bananas, and screamed for the entire crowd. Bone was rediscovering his old Dissectionposes. Night and Devilina was hanging out in the bar enjoying the nostalgia. And by the way - it is interesting to see how people adapt the ways of the dead boys. Skinny eventually got backstage and of course he managed to make out with the singer of Taake. Typical Deathstars - to kiss the norwegian satanists, and getting them to like it. Also Sonic Syndicate has started to kiss each other and kill bottles of vodka before stage, they drink more then Deathstars now. They gone from white to black. We respect that. Mission accomplished.
While Skinny was doing that kissing-thing with the black metal-singer, Whip had found a Schlagerbar just next door, where he danced and had drinks. A gaycouple offered him a threesome, which was kind of scary for the singer since they were quite aggressive about the whole thing. He anyway danced with them and they DEMANDED him to take his clothes off, and he wasn't late to do that (see movie) as the little whore he is. After that gay-rendezvous Skinny, Whip and Micke (the soundguy) went to a disco where Skinny and Whip danced hysterically around the steel poles to the obvious fright of the technician, but to the admiration of the well-shaped and sporty fräuleins.
Gig-day in Munich: Whip woke up with a terrible flu since It is raining straight through the roof of Dante. He had to sleep at 4 different places inside of the beast before he finally gave up. The bus has gone from being Dante to actually becoming SATAN. Several soaking wet beds and dripping noses later we stumbled into the venue "Backstage"'s area. Whip was in questionable shape and tried to drink exclusive Grappa for the throat, but for no use. Nightmare was discussing business with our recordlabel, Skinny was partying, Cat was like a ticking bomb and Bone was unusually social with the arriving friends of the band. Our manager Stefan came for meetings and party, as well as the dudes from Nuclear Blast. A special thank you goes out to Crap, our lightguy in Munich, for offering his favours... He is now going on tour to do Slipknot's lights, check it out! He is maybe the coolest person in the world, together with his criminal brother the constellation backstage yesterday was beyond description. We also had an interesting photoshoot where we were burning money, sipping champagne in a rain of coins. Keep your eyes open for that one.
Robin from SS has been hysterical all night, a partyanimal, and has been the clown for the rest of the crew. Bone is looking 60 yerars old since he hasn't got any proper sleep for a while and Nightmare is in top shape, he looks almost like a tanned and fit surfer. Surf's up dude! Skinny is partying and the iPig plays New York Doll's Babylon, which is kind of weird since Deathstars' song Babylon is about a night out here in Hamburg, after a gig at Markthalle, which is the same venue where we play today. We are aiming for party tonight. A german friday of fornication. Tomorrow, in Malmö, is the last day of this tour. We finish where we started - home in Sweden. We are already really looking forward to the U.K-dates and Russia. A lot.
What the members are doing right now:
* Cat is at Reperbahn to get a porn-Cinderella-outfit. Go figure...
* Nightmare is in Speicherstadt with his wife Devilina to discuss german war-tactics and get a special made remote-controlled Monster Truck.
* Bone is not in a good mood and is standing on stage complaining about the sound.
* Skinny is "singing" in the shower, actually screaming "Child! Child! Child..!"
* Whip can hardly see since he has got too much glitter in his eyes, but he will soon get back from a citywalk to party with Skinny.
