With lyrics inspired by Cyberpunk imagery and the Cyberpunk subculture, Dope Stars Inc. have been mixing industrial beats, acid synths and distorted sounds with a bratty rock’n’roll sound and attitude since their foundation in May 2003, Italy.
With their debut self-produced EP “10,000 Watts Of Artificial Pleasures” the band caught the interest of the international press and and was quickly signed with Trisol Music Group to release two albums,“Neuromance” (2005) and “Gigahearts” (2006).
Through the years they have infected a horde of loyal fans and spread like a virus over communities and global networks.
The band toured extensively between 2005 and 2008 performing on stages across Europe and supporting bands like London After Midnight, Kirlian Camera, ASP, Apoptygma Berzerk, Nightwish, Combichrist, My Dying Bride, and others. The band also performed at European festivals like Mera Luna, Wave Gotik Treffen, Amphi Festival, Summer Darkness, On A Dark Winter Night, Infest UK, and Trash Fest I & II in Finland. Songs by Dope Stars Inc. also appear on the soundtrack albums of the horror movie saga "Saw".
Their 3rd studio album (upcoming this summer) has been licensed to Trisol Music Group in Europe, Metropolis Records in North American and Subsound Records in Italy. Before it's release an advance EP including 2 tracks from the new album and titled "Criminal Intents / Morning Star - Double Feature EP" will be released on 21st April 2009. After the EP some concert dates are being planned in May and an International Tour will follow after the full length album release.

Trance-Former
Dope Stars Inc. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The virus is spread
You see there's no return
And I scream out loud
My hopes are gone
Cause now I feel alive
The crowd is raising chaos
The virus is spread
And I play out loud
My dopes are gone
And now I feel perfect
Dance: Psychotic
You wanna go
Unleash all the digital forces
Glance: Nevrotic
Trance: Neurotic
Sex: Robotic
You have to go
Enjoy our chemical Orgy
Glance: Symbiotic
Trance: Erotic
The lyrics to Dope Stars Inc.'s song Trance-Former describe the euphoric feeling that comes from being a part of a wild and chaotic gathering. The crowd is dancing uncontrollably, and the virus of this energy is spreading rapidly. The singer acknowledges that there is no turning back once they become a part of this scene. They scream out loud, as all their hopes and fears are released. They no longer feel controlled by their past and are alive in the moment.
The chorus of the song describes the different forms of release that can be found in this environment. It's not just dancing, but it's also about unleashing digital forces, experiencing a neurotic trance, becoming robotic in their approach to sex, and finding a symbiotic connection with those around them. Overall, the song celebrates the freedom that comes from letting go of inhibitions and joining in with the chaos of the crowd.
