CD Review: Deadstar Assembly - Unsaved
Published July 15, 2006
"Killing Myself Again" and "Dejected" gather a head of steam with their outsider lyrics that seek to unite the downtrodden. They have this fantastic order-through-chaos aura that is testament to their strong songwriting abilities.
Deadstar Assembly slow the pace down with "Bled." There is a cry for attention in the line "I am more than nothing." This is a strong cut that leads into the final aggressive push as we head down the album's home stretch. The last song is "Death Wish." It starts off with a sample before moving into some hardcore synth/guitar action. It moves into the final closing track, "Perfectly Destroyed," an eerie guitar riff with a light synth played over the top of it, bringing Unsaved to an end.
The band is made up of vocalist Dearborn, who has a great voice that is equally raw and inviting, guitarist Dreggs, drummer Cygnus, and bassist The Dro. I believe they all have a hand in the electronic side of the album, and they all shared producing duties. The final product is an album that I am glad made it's way to my collection.
Bottom line. An excellent combination of industrial and pop, with a distinctly harsh edge to it. This album was a surprise to me, displaying a well-developed sense of songwriting. Unsaved hides within it songs that must be insane to see live. If you like death-pop and industrial rock, this is for you.
