Last Crusades

Over the last 10 years, Belgium's best gothic rock export to date, Star Industry have built a strong reputation for their live performances through numerous appearances across Europe in the scenes biggest festivals (M'era Luna, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Gotham, Eurorock, Alive, etc.). They have shared the stage with bands like Front 242, Paradise Lost, Praga Khan, Sisters of Mercy, Echo & The Bunnymen, Covenant, etc and have produced timeless club hits such as "Nineties". It is with a matured sound and refined production from none other than Luc Van Acker that this Belgian combo marks its return in 2007 with a much anticipated third studio album entitled Last Crusades on Alfa Matrix. Star Industry's new opus offers a collection of gothic anthems led by extremely catchy choruses, powerful song arrangements, intricate electronic loops, incisive guitars, dark synth lines and infectious drum patterns. Even though the band has long established their own distinctive sound, the singer's voice will surely continue bringing them comparisons to Sisters of Mercy's Andrew Eldritch, while the music will evoke comparisons to Goth Rock legends, Fields of The Nephilim or Paradise Lost. The return of Star Industry, with Last Crusades once again establishes the band's prominent position on the top of today's gothic rock scene.

The album is also available as a limited edition boxset including a poster and a bonus disc featuring a video for "Last Crusades", special remixes by Vive La Fete, Leaether Strip, Luc Van Acker, Implant plus revamped versions of the band's greatest hits and some other nice surprises too!  more
