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.

Vyperpunk
Dope Stars Inc. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fear and anger: my heartshaped cage
The circuits scream louder as data flows
With every byte, the volume grows
Press "play" just to hear it loud
And then feel it louder
Scream out and keep moving on
Just giving me a V.R. place
And kill me every time you want
Keep loading shit into my head
It makes me feel like an empty drone
Won't you die for this damn cyber hell
My sick vyper hate is killing you
My fight goes on until you're nothing more
Than a single string of code
Uploading my virus to make it scream loud
To detonate my bomb in the crowd
The hate loading process is moving on
Sending my rage with one megaton
Shut down and delete this worlds
That are full of programs
Shut down and erase your code
You're a useless process
Just giving me a V.R. place
And kill me every time you want
Keep loading shit into my head
It makes me feel like an empty drone
Won't you die for this damn cyber hell
My sick vyper hate is killing you
My fight goes on until you're nothing more
Than a single string of code
Won't you die for this damn cyber hell
My sick vyper hate is killing you
My fight goes on until you're nothing more
Than a single string of code
The song "Vyperpunk" by Dope Stars Inc. is a commentary on the dangerous intersection of technology and emotion. The lyrics tell the story of a person who has become trapped within a digital world, feeling empty and devoid of emotion. They are consumed by anger and hate, and they see technology as a means to lash out against the world around them. They upload a virus to infect the world's computers and express their rage through this act of destruction.
The first verse introduces the idea of infecting the mainframe with rage and fear, metaphorically presenting technology as a living entity that can be manipulated to amplify emotions. The second verse encapsulates the individual's feeling of being trapped and controlled by technology. The chorus speaks to the idea of finding solace in the virtual world, but at the same time, that escape leaves the person feeling more detached and less human. The bridge reflects the person's desire to destroy the world around them, to shut down and erase it all.
The lyrics demonstrate the pitfalls of relying too heavily on technology to process emotions and the danger of mistaking destruction for liberation. It is a reflection on the darker side of our technological age.
