DEATHSTARS Announces New Guitarist -
Swedish industrial goth metal band
DEATHSTARS has announced the addition of guitarist Cat to the group's ranks. Cat, who previously played with the band as a session member, is "an excellent guitar player with heart filled with deathsleaze and a body built for sex," according to a posting on the group's web site. "Cat will visit a girlfriend close to you on the upcoming European tour."
As previously reported, Swiss band STONEMAN has been confirmed as the support act for
DEATHSTARS on its "48 Carat Darkness" headlining tour, which is scheduled to kick off in October. In addition, the following bands will perform on select shows:
LYZANXIA (France and Switzerland),
ENSOPH (Italy),
PHANTASMAGORIA (Zagreb),
FIRESTORM (Vienna) and
CALATHEA (Prague). More information is available at

The Swedish band, in existence since January 2000, was previously known as
SWORDMASTER. DEATHSTARS features in its ranks former
DISSECTION drummer Ole Öhman and guitarist Emil Nödtveidt (brother of late
DISSECTION leader Jon).
DEATHSTARS has been confirmed as the "special guest" at the sixth annual Bloodstock festival, set to take place September 29-30 at the Assembly Rooms in Derby, England. This will be DEATHSTARS' second and final appearance in the U.K. this year following a sold-out show supporting
LACUNA COIL in London back in March.
