goth rock
Got some cool techno vibes thrown in with some dark lyrics. A little different to the heavy stuff I listen to, but this is a good cd anyways. Not real heavy, just all around gothic.
THIS BAND IS GOLD!
I found out about them when my boyfriend impersonated them so I went out and found out about Deadstar Assembly, since then I have been hooked on them from day one. Trust me, whoever is buying this you won't regret it! these guys have worked hard for it. TRUST me, you will love them!. some of their songs like "Send me an angel" & "Dejected" & "Ashes to ashes will fall" are some really good songs. Did you know that the orignal band that made the song "Send me an angel" told the band of Deadstar Assembly, that they loved the new verison that the lead singer Dearborn made of it?
In the end this band is really good if your looking for your average punkish hardcore death metal rock band. I guarantee their your next nine inch nails or marilyn manson.
It won't disappoint their fans
The music on this platter contains a total of fifteen tracks clocking in at over 50 minutes, and teetering the thin line between gothic pop and industrial rock. I haven't heard Florida-based goth rockers DeadStar Assembly's earlier work, so I have no reference points to compare it with their new disc Unsaved.
The album starts with the two-part title track "Unsaved"; the first one immediately stands out for its thick sound, bringing forth pulsating drum beats and building up to a nice crescendo before it segues into the comparatively heavier second part. The rhythm guitars on the album are used sparingly, as much of the atmosphere is conveyed through multi-track keyboard melodies and synth patches. The song does delve into a full-on goth rock style in its final section, following the doubled vocals of Dearborn. Simmering 80's synths characterize the industrial-tinged "Killing Myself Again", blending catchy alternative rock choruses and little touches of electronica. "Dejected" is a more modern piece with lots of turntable scratching and a playful rhythmic bottom; whilst the deeply electronic and textured "Naive" and the ballady "And Ashes Will Fall" are among the more moving and thought-out numbers. The use of acoustic guitars on the latter lends it a different sonic quality. The blend of dissonant sounds of "Showing Teeth" and the oft-repeated chorus of "Darker Now", with some cool guitar harmony development in the back, also contribute to the overall flow of Unsaved.
That said, DeadStar Assembly's songwriting is nothing overtly original or unheard of. Their strength lies moreso in crafting solid goth-flavoured song that have both powerful crunch and big, boomy rhythmic aweareness. The production is amazing and should appeal to fans of this kind of music greatly.
