Due to the cancellation of so many concerts and festivals in 2020, we decided together with the band that the STAR INDUSTRY fans should not wait any longer.  We are therefore making this exclusive clear vinyl edition available via our official Alfa Matrix e-shop and some selected partner web-stores. We expect these 100 copies to sell-out very fast. Do not wait too long!

Originally released in 1997, “Iron Dust Crush” is not only STAR INDUSTRY’s debut full length album holding the major new wave club hit “Nineties”, but it also became one of the few classic gothic rock albums ever next to big names of the 80’s such as THE SISTERS OF MERCY, THE FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM or yet THE MISSION.

Since then, the Belgian gang is currently working on their 6th studio album and has been performing live across the globe from Europe to China through the USA and Mexico and shared the stage with artists such as MARILYN MANSON, PARADIE LOST, WITHIN TEMPTATION, FRONT 242, PRAGA KHAN,  THE PRODIGY, SISTERS OF MERCY, NIGHTWISH, FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM, ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN, HIM, KILLING JOKE, VNV NATION, THE HUMAN LEAGUE and many more.

A must-have collector vinyl item that every true STAR INSUSTRY fan should have in his/her collection…

This 4-tracker contains the song “New Millennium”, but also a stunning cover version of “Kings And Queens” by KILLING JOKE. Add to this “Like A Ghost”, a very electronic minded ballad, showing a very different side of STAR INDUSTRY’s songwriting potential through a very sensitive and highly emotional track. Last but not least, this EP also features the final version of the song, “Sodium Haze” which was featured in a demo version on the “Iron Dust Crush” album…

There could not have been any better song than “Eilyne” to serve as the appetizer for the band’s forthcoming new studio album “The Renegade” which is in the final mixing stage now and is scheduled for an early 2015 street date! “Eilyne” depicts the story of a fallen movie-star with a straight dancefloor appeal, catchy synth layers and STAR INDUSTRY’s characteristic goth rock vocals and incisive guitar sound. An extremely catchy and pulsing song which makes you want to rush on to the dancefloors, hands in the air, the whole crowd singing along… The song also gets released as an astounding epic club mix that all DJ’s will soon be spinning in their clubs, as well as a more dramatic and almost operatic “Paris mix” version with a grandiose mix of piano, violins and big beats evoking an unexpected mix of AEROPLANE and early UNDERWORLD!

Cherry on the cake, The Belgian gang offers here to their fans a very special B-side song that they recently rediscovered from early 1996 studio sessions for the “Iron Dust Crush” album, a classic melodic pearl with the unique characteristic sound of STAR INDUSTRY…

Hoorray – the Belgian STAR INDUSTRY machine is back on track – fans, come on and do your dance again… on STAR INDUSTRY!

This EP is only available as a download via Bandcamp (see player below).
