Sweden's "Deathstars" who are these poseurs?

I just read about these guys. The were supposedly in some Black Metal in the Sweden, Any one know who or what they were called. The interview I read the singer said "being four horny guys in a Black Metal band does not make much sense, so we have popped up our sound more to appeal more to girls" What the?

Sounds like a sell out to me. Watch they are probably going to be the next big thing ala Cradle of Filth or Him lite LOL. Your thoughts?

Yeah, I seem to remember seeing something about them online a while back, and having a similar reaction. Not that they aren't free to do their thing, but I kind of thought it appeared to be a stab at mainstream acceptance more than musical integrity.

There is a little bit of hype about them in Germany the last months. They are on the cover page of magazines and so on. I was curious and checked them out, but it's not my cup of tea. So I leave it to others...

i can sum up this band with one word.... sh*t.

They used to be called Swordmaster and they were killer. Now that they are a new band with a new style, it is LAME!

Thanks that was what I wanted to know. Yeah, that Split was pretty good. I remember it. Again I say Sell Out!

I think some of the members we're also in dissection.

But they suck.

Dissection sucks? HAHA WOW! Very bold statement, but you cannot back that up whatsoever, Dissection were genius. You need to hear them again then. Emil Nödtveidt (Swordmaster/Deathstars) is Jon Nödtveidt's (Dissection) brother and Emil played bass in Dissection for a short while. The drummer of Swordmaster/Deathstars also played drums in Dissection for a short while.
