They have released three full length studio albums.


Formation, Synthetic Generation (2000-2003)

Stockholm’s Deathstars is, in fact, a metamorphosed version of 1993 founded heavy metal act Swordmaster, featuring former Dissection drummer Ole Öhman (“Bone W Machine”) and guitarist Emil Nodtveidt (“Nightmare Industries”). Deathstars was fronted by Andreas Bergh (“Whiplasher Bernadotte”) and saw Erik Halvorsen (“Beast X Electric”) on guitar. The band took on both a radical image and change in musical direction for the album Synthetic Generation.

Synthetic Generation first surfaced in Sweden during March 2002 on LED Recordings, but would be picked up for European release by the German Nuclear Blast label the following year.

Originally only a live bass player for Deathstars, Jonas Kangur (“Skinny Disco”) became an official member on October 1, 2003.

Before Synthetic Generation was released, several demos were recorded, two of which are freely available on the internet; ‘Razor End’ and ‘Black Medicine’.
