A worthy replacement…
After Snowy Shaw unfortunately had to cancel his support, we started to look for another capable tour drummer. Finally two appropriate tour drummers have been found and they are going to be worthy representatives of the drumming caste.
Oscar Leander, a personal friend of the band, will tempt you to the world and sound of Deathstars. He will support us for the first 10 shows. After that the one and only Adrian Erlandsson (Cradle of Filth, At the Gates, The Haunted, Nemhain) is going to swing the sticks for BONE, pounding in your auditory canal.
I am sad to announce that I will not partake in the upcoming European tour with Korn.
Personal reasons are the main issue in this case and this is more important to me right now then a tour.
I hope you all understand this and dont throw a EMO fit.
The drums will not suffer though since the extremly competent Snowy Shaw will be whipping skins and breaking sticks in my abcense.
And no, I am not leaving the band.

No luck with Greek dates - 15 March 2007
This time we unfortunately have bad news...
Today Cat Casino had an accident and has been hurt.
There is though a blessing in disguise, as it seems his hand is not broken, but he does have a badly sprained wrist/hand.
This now means he must take a break from playing guitar until he is back to health which should be at least in time for the forthcoming european tour.
Unfortunately this means that Cat is unable to play the upcoming Greek shows at the weekend and therefore Deathstars have been forced to cancel.
We all feel very sorry about this as the band were looking forward to visiting the Greek fans.
Our deepest apologies go out to all of the fans who were looking forward to these shows and also the promoters.
We will be trying to reschedule the dates and will keep you updated.
