The second album from the Swedish Deathstars, Termination Bliss, provides quite a dosage of attitude. Groovy, melodic, dark, sinister, atmospheric - quite a few adjectives must to be used to describe the music, but the words still don't do justice to the music... you've got to hear it yourself.

The tracks on Termination Bliss are infectious, insidiously they hold the listener firmly on their grasp. Songs have been constructed in a way to retain the listeners interest, as the song structures are sufficiently fluctuating. This is how industrial metal should be made.

The production on this album has been handled proficiently... the soundscape is atmospheric, without making the guitars sound frail. This doesn't surprise me though, the record was mixed by Stefan Glaumann (Rammstein, Clawfinger etc.) at Toytown Studio, while mastering was handed to the skilful Håkan Åkesson of Cutting Room, Stockholm. Simply, you've got to check out Termination Bliss if industrial metal is close to your heart.
