Destroying Everything With SKINNY From DEATHSTARS

Destroying Everything With SKINNY From DEATHSTARS

Interview by Kris Peters
Eight years may seem like a long time between albums, but when you consider the whole world was basically segregated and shut down for two years of that it puts things a little more in perspective.
And besides, don't they say good things are worth waiting for?
Well they are right! Especially in the case of cult Swedish industrial metal outfit Deathstars who release their new album Everything Destroys You on Friday, May 5.
While it may have been eight years since their last creation, Deathstars have lost none of their swagger or adrenaline, pumping out a collection of songs that epitomises their rebellious nature and spirit with another eight years experience.
Bass player Skinny joined HEAVY to chat about the album.
"For us this album just feels like the perfect continuation of maybe the previous albums like Termination Bliss or Night Electric Night, rather than the latest album The Perfect Cult," he expressed. "It's more outgoing, I would say and more of a party album. It got just where we wanted it to go."
We ask how he is feeling about the album, especially after such a long period away.
"It feels great," he smiled. "It's been a while. We usually have about five years in between albums, but this time we stretched it for eight years (laughs). In the end for us what matters is that we're happy about the album. We could have released it before the pandemic, but then we wouldn't be as happy with the songs. So we decided okay, we'll wait a little bit, and then we had the pandemic and w got some extra free time to work on the songs even more. That turned out great, I think."
In the full interview, Skinny tells us about the album musically and what they were going for, experimenting with music and how that fits in to the creative process, the singles released and how they represent the new album, how the band is approaching this part of their career after such a layoff, the early days of the band and where Deathstars fit in, winning the Golden Gods Award for Best Newcomer and how it influenced their career, what's next for Deathstars and more.
