Deadstar Assembly is an Industrial Metal band from Fort Lauderdale, FL which was formed in 2001.Deadstar Assembly began in
2001 when Dearborn and famed techno producer Luis Duran collaborated to create the sound for Deadstar Assembly. The summer
of 2001 also marked the start of Dearborn's search for live musicians that would complement DSA's sound and attitude. Renowned
industrial synth master, Mubo, formerly of the Basic Humans, had been high on Dearborn's list for months, but circumstances
prevented any type of meeting. That summer, the planets aligned and the two converged. Dearborn says of Mubo, "He's amazing...
the way he interacts with his keyboard -- it's violent, erotic. It's unfortunate that he wasn't in on the initial recording
of the demo... he has added so much more to the songs." Realizing they shared a common creative vision, Mubo and Dearborn
partnered to assemble the remaining pieces of the band. Playing bass for DSA is Brazilian native, The Dro. At his first audition,
he was immediately recognized as a kindred spirit and asked to join the DSA band. Jay added massive riffage which complemented
Dearborn's guitar style. An old high school pal, he proved to be instrumental in transitioning the record from a polished
studio effort to a massive live sound. Cygnus also had joined the band as their drummer. Eventually Jay had left and then
replaced by DreGGs before their self-titled debut was released. The album contained 13 tracks, one of which was a cover of
the 1980s hit Send Me An Angel (originally by Real Life) which had received significant airplay in South Florida goth, metal,
and strip clubs. They also released a DVD called the Dark Hole Sessions Vol. 1 in 2003. Their sophomore album, produced by
DSA themselves and Jeremy Staska, "Unsaved" is a drastically personal album. The album itself was released on July
11, 2006 by Pure Records. Due to unfortunate circumstances, Mubo and Deadstar Assembly had split ways prior to the North American
release. At the Unsaved release party the band had unveiled sKuz as the new keyboardist. Their Vol. 2 DVD is in progress and
the estimated release date is December of 2006.
