FROM THE CRYPTS - CELEBRATING PAST ALBUM RELEASES in the HISTORY of HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL…
On November 4, 2011, the Deathstars released their greatest hits compilation The Greatest Hits On Earth in Europe via Nuclear Blast (November 7, 2011 in the US).
Background:
On August 25, 2011, Rammstein's official website announced that the Deathstars would be the supporting act on their Made In Germany 2011 - 2012 European Tour.
In celebration of the support slot for Rammstein, the Swedes arranged a collection of their hits from the past three records, which was released just in time for the tour opening. Among the 16 gems on it, two brand-new songs that were specially composed for the best-of album can be found right at the beginning.
While Death Is Wasted On The Dead carefully creeps up on the listener and offers a perfect entrance to the musical circular trip through eleven highly erotic years of pure Deathstars sex-fueled sounds through its gloomy and threatening atmosphere, The track Metal surges ahead like a whip cracking domina with its familiar rough electronic Industrial fashion – regardless of the consequences! Before you could turn round, you’ll find yourself prostrating to the Deathstars, just like their obseqious pleasure slave, panting for more – sheer Death Glam magic!
