Dope Stars Inc. is an alternative and industrial rock band formed in Rome, Italy in late 2002, though the band was not officially formed until 2003. Since then they have been touring and releasing four full length studio albums, some EPs and have a steadily growing fan base. Dope Stars Inc. have now released their fifth studio album which is called “TeraPunk”.
The album comes with ten tracks and a total album duration of merely forty minutes. Starting out with heavy industrial music and distorted vocals the album rises the adrenaline level in your blood from the very first second and push you through. Not always beautiful sounding, more alternative. You could almost call the style of the music industrial punk with all its edges and flaws that make the music of Dope Stars Inc. unique. This does not mean the album has no catchy songs on it, quite some songs get stuck in your head after the first time through. But the album also includes some more quiet moments with sung vocals and pure guitars sounds instead of distorted riffs. “Take It” and “Dressed Inside Your Fear” are such songs.
All songs are sung in English with a charming Italian accent. A must have for all industrial lovers. So go get “TeraPunk” now.
Tracklist: 01. It’s going to rain for you 02. Many thanks 03. Don’t wanna know 04. Take it 05. Do it yourself 06. Along with you 07. You have no chance 08. Dressed inside your fear 09. Spider claw 10. The believer |
