xDEATHSTARx

Scott — Wed, 14 May 2008 23:45:44 +0000

I was scanning through CD Warehouse today looking for something new and interesting, neither of which was easily found due to the massive amount of crap this place has. I was looking through the “D’s” to see what Danzig or Dream Theater CDs they had and I came across xDEATHSTARx ‘We Are The Threat’ on Facedown Records. Curiosity got the best of me so I asked to sample it. xDEATHSTARx is nothing new (been around for 6 years) or epic but they have a cool hardcore sound to them as if they got a lot of influence from Hatebreed. Basically if you dig Hatebreed you will dig xDEATHSTARx. With three singers you get a little bit of variety in the vocals. xDEATHSTARSx’s myspace introduces themselves as so:

xDEATHSTARx opened the floodgates in summer of 2002 after releasing their five-song demo, “Beware of the xDEATHSTARx” in 2003. The energy of their live performance and brutal musical style has put them at the forefront of the already booming So-Cal hardcore scene. Blending the sounds of At the Gates, Disembodied, and Hatebreed with lyrics that mirror their philosophy of positive living and heart-felt scene experience, their anthems are undeniably fierce, and so is their vision. This band is on a warpath to mark their place in the world. They bring a vast collective of musicianship to create a wall of sound that will leave you ravaged yet uplifted.

Below is a video of xDEATHSTARx live singing suffocate faster. If you like the hardcore sound then give them a listen at their Myspace.com/xDEATHSTARx. (p.s. It has a lot of Christian influence as well, so it’s not for everyone)
