 :
DeadStar Assembly are sunny South Florida's dark
side. The troupe of musical avant-gardes deliver
a sinister sound so intense and fierce that it
burns. Like demented seraphim, DSA's poisonous
blend of death-pop industrial rock is setting
the world ablaze with no apologies.
Formed in 2002 by singer, Dearborn, DSA was a
meticulous formation that was birthed before any
additional members even joined the band. Dearborn
had a vision of a packaged hard rock industrial
outfit that would be coupled with a famed trance
progressive producer Luis Duran, visual experimentation
and raw, pure aggression. Naturally, it fit the
joining members like a straightjacket. In the
summer of 2001, Dearborn began his search for
complimenting musicians and immediately chose
renowned synth master, Mubo, formerly of the Basic
Humans. Following the mayhem of Mubo was Brazilian
born bassist, the Dro, guitarist, Dreggs and finally,
percussionist, Cygnus. They named themselves DeadStar
Assembly in homage to the wasting wannabe stars
soaked in GHB puke that blackened the Miami Beach
streets in which they lurked. The result was their
self-titled debut, DeadStar Assembly, which would
go on to sell over 10,000 units independently
and gain the band the respect and loyalty of South
Florida’s underground music scene. With
such menacing hits as“Normal,” “Breathe
for Me” and the completely innovative cover
of “Send Me An Angel,” DSA were on
the rise from the very incision of their first
live show.
Now, with national touring under their studded
belts, and signing to PURE Records in the U.S.
and Hamburg’s Dockyard 1 in Europe, DSA
have reemerged with their highly anticipated sophomore
release, Unsaved. The album was written, recorded,
and sweated over as an entirely collaborative
band effort. The album of chaotic synths and havoc-reeking
melodies features all live instrumentation with
additional electronic percussion and digital effects
weaved amongst it. Produced by DSA themselves
and Jeremy Staska (Poison the Well, New Found
Glory, Remembering Never), Unsaved is a drastically
personal album; ensuing the perfect combination
of therapeutic lyricism, razorblade vocals striving
to end cultural assimilation and surgically crafted
melodies performed to bleed rather than stitch.
It’s a middle finger to the mundane and
a red light to ignite your inner deviance. The
album features 15 soul scorching tracks that inject
chaos straight into the vein. Infectiously catchy
songs such as the intoxicating “Dejected"
and the haunting ballad, "And Ashes Will
Fall,” paint the vivid landscape of lost
youth and suppressed angst, while commanding tracks
such as “Dejected” and “Pale
Blue” feature attention-demanding guitars,
swirling synths and authoritative vocals that
are determined to raise a de-generation of jaded
and misguided to their spike-heeled feet. With
their legion of dedicated fans behind them, DeadStar
Assembly is ready to leave their underground dwellings
to spread their musical delirium to the masses.
Those not yet infected soon will be, as Unsaved
is the album that will push DeadStar Assembly
to the forefront of the anti-mainstream.
