Release Date: October 22, 2013 I See Stars has come a long way. In 2011, I wouldn't even give them the time of day to write a review on The End of the World Party. Then something clicked with them o nDigital Renegade and they developed their own sound. This album, New Demons, is their newest installment. The intro, "Initiation Sequence," is a bunch of electronic sounds put together in a form of a test and when the sub-sonic bass fails it then transitions into Ten Thousand Feet...

I See Stars kickstart their fourth full-length with a song that steals the synth riff from Baauer's "Harlem Shake." Yes, it's just one element tossed into the blender with their usual high-pitched choirboy choruses and not-quite-Emmure breakdowns, but the fact that it's there says ominous things about the band, who've been making keyboard-slathered, dancefloor-friendly deathcore for seven years already...

I See Stars have come a long way since their second release, , which was met with mixed reactions. 2012's saw them rocket skywards, gaining respect and an even larger legion of diehard fans. This year, they've made the sometimes risky choice of releasing a remix album, titled . A remix album (or digital mixtape, as the band referred to it) seems a naturally good choice for a band of this style to undertake, especially as their abundance of electronic elements lends itself to this sort of...

Release Date: March 13th, 2012 Months before this album was released, I See Stars publicly posted (via facebook) that they were going to record a new album because they were not thrilled with the quality of their last album, The End Of The World Party...

Sound: I See Stars have always been an interesting band. Their debut, "3-D", showcased songwriting maturity far beyond their age, while their follow up, "The End Of The World Party", was considered by most to be a textbook definition of "sophomore slump". The band took the criticism their previous album received well, and hit all the right notes with "Digital Renegade". To start off, the album is heavy. Not just in guitar tone, but also electronically...

Release Date: March 13, 2012 I love these controversial electrocore bands, but not because of music. It's hilarious how worked up people get with these types of groups, and I See Stars is one of the most popular in this genre. It's a complete hate/love thing with them, and this new album won't change any perceptions. I remember when 3D was first released, and I loved every song off it (yes, even "Sing It" because my musical tastes are very questionable sometimes)...
