STARSEED BIOGRAPHY 2011
Starseed produce some of the most satisfying melodic hard rock you're likely to hear. Soaring melodies and epic energy, powerful, riff driven rock with electrifying stage shows, their music grasps many elements of the post grunge scene drawing influences from early Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains to the power and torment of Soil. More recent comparisons include the tenacity and energy of Stone Sour and intense melody of Alter Bridge.
With significant achievements in 2007 and 2008, including performing at Download Festival 07, supporting 80’s Matchbox B-Line Disaster, and being nominated for Best Live Band at the Indy Music Awards 2008 all off the back of their EP Release “Love’s War”. 2009 was to be the biggest turning point for the band with the recording and release of their highly acclaimed album “Peace Machine”. Praised by Kerrang! Magazine as “12 humongous rock tracks”, “Peace Machine” was produced by Jason Wilcock of Stakeout Studios (Reuben, Fightstar, The Ghost Of A Thousand). The album launch party was held at a packed IndigO2 at The O2 which led to a full page feature in Kerrang! Magazine in August 2009, extensive national radio play including a BBC introducing interview and TotalRock Radio take-over feature, and a headline UK tour. Starseed’s music video for single “Shine” - directed by Ben Thornley of Sitcom Soldiers (Therapy?, Fightstar) – was accepted for rotation on Scuzz TV. “Shine” was featured on Ian Camfield’s Rock Show (XFM), Bruce Dickinson’s Rock Show (BBC Radio 6) and Alex Bakers New Music Show (Kerrang Radio) to critical acclaim.
2010 continued to bring success for the band with a live studio session on XFM, and Rock Radio Scotland. Single “Shine” was featured on BBC Radio 6, XFM, Planet Rock, Music Choice and A-Listed on Totalrock Radio as well as featured on numerous national FM and University Radio stations. The band completed another UK tour supporting Senser, played the Jagermeister Stage at Download Festival (w/ AC/DC, Rage Against The Machine, Aerosmith), Kick Out The Jams Festival 2010, Hard Rock Hell IV (w/ Skid Row, Uriah Heep, UFO) and Maesteg Metal Fest in Wales.
Now proud endorsees of Blackstar Amps, Tama Drums, Roland, Sabian, Rotosound Strings, Protection Racket and TC Electronic, Starseed’s year ahead includes more UK tour dates, Kick Out The Jams Festival 2011 alongside Ill Nino and Breed 77, and plans for a US release and tour.

Conquest and Enslavement
Starseed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Superior forces
Swarms of offensive vessels are taking position in orbit
To guarantee the thundering nightmare
Unleashing their furious assault capacity
Concept of fear - Total enslavement
Extermination of non-human races
Irresistible technical progress
Elite soldiers known for merciless proceeding
Disembarked from heavily armored troop-transports
Devastating hordes turn the atmosphere into a burning chaos
Take no prisoners, head for the objective
Extinguish the restive renegades, who fought a hopeless battle
The rebel scum will get their righteous punishment
By order of the emperor, a renewal of peace and order
Residing on his throne of honour, reign of power
His glorious battle fleet, controlling the imperial routes
Patrolling the frontier, and expand
Ruling with viciousness, in the mind of his subjects
The master of the dark side, of the all-embracing force
The secret to set the roots for conquest and enslavement
By order of the emperor, a renewal of peace and order
Residing on his throne of honour, eternal reign of power
Massive strikes
Superior forces
Swarms of offensive vessels are taking position in orbit
To guarantee the thundering nightmare
Unleashing their furious assault capacity
Concept of fear - Total enslavement
Extermination of non-human races
Exploitation for scientific experiments
Irresistible technical progress
By order of the emperor, a renewal of peace and order
Residing on his throne of honour, eternal reign of power
The lyrics of Starseed's song "Conquest and Enslavement" depict a sci-fi scenario of an evil empire launching a brutal assault to conquer and enslave other races for their own gain. The verses describe the overwhelming power and merciless tactics of the invading army, who are equipped with advanced technology and trained soldiers that show no mercy to their enemies. The chorus repeats the phrase "By order of the emperor, a renewal of peace and order, residing on his throne of honour, eternal reign of power," which suggests that the conquering force justifies their actions as a way to bring stability and control to the galaxy, while actually serving the selfish interests of the Empire's rulers.
The lyrics convey a strong message about the dangers of unchecked power and ruthless ambition, and how the thirst for domination can lead to cruelty and destruction. The words "concept of fear" and "total enslavement" emphasize the psychological manipulation and brutal tactics used to control the conquered races, who are seen as inferior and expendable. Furthermore, the line "exploitation for scientific experiments" suggests that the invaders are not only interested in enslaving the other races but also in experimenting and exploiting them for their own technological advancements.
Overall, "Conquest and Enslavement" is a powerful song that depicts a dystopian future where oppression and violence reign supreme.
