DIGITAL WARRIOR PREORDER PACK
- Including 2 x 415x500 mm folding poster inserts featuring PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED PICTURES of Dope Stars Inc. from the ‘21st Century Slave’ artwork sessions by Enrico Caputo and Rhett Podersoo: NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OTHER VERSION of the album! These 2 single-sided full-colour inserts are folded down into 12 panels each - to the same surface size of the digipak - adding a massive additional 24 panels of artwork to the package: 20 panels more in total even than the Trisol package. Extra cost? NO EXTRA COST. Same price as the regular digipak edition: but ONLY AVAILABLE to PRE-ORDER CUSTOMERS. Shipping date 7/06.
As previously announced, the DWA release of ‘21st Century Slave’ has been directly arranged with DOPE STARS INC. to be the first in the world. However, since we made this announcement Trisol has now accelerated domestic release of this product in Germany to 7/10 (BUT export is still restricted until 7/17). Consequently, to ensure that our commitment to be first is met, although our official release date has to remain 7/14, pre-orders for this title received before 6/30 are now scheduled to ship around 7/06. International shipping from Japan averages around 5 days, meaning delivery should be around 7/10 or before to ANYWHERE in the world. You will not get this album any faster from any other label. 3 extra tracks, unique extra packaging, 10% discount - but only from online pre-order until 6/30! Pre-order now to qualify for the 10% OFF!

DEATH WATCH ASIA - PRESS RELEASE
DOPE STARS INC.’s first 2 albums ‘Neuromance’ and ‘Gigahearts’ achieved massive sales and media attention across Europe and the US, gaining chart positions in many countries. Their 3rd album ‘21st Century Slave – eagerly awaited by their legions of fans across the globe – is their strongest ever.
In the midst of the current global economic collapse, blamed by most on the excesses of corporate greed, the timing could not be more appropriate for the socio-political message of ‘21st Century Slave’. Welcome to DOPE STARS INC.’s dystopian vision of the world of today: where we are either tools of technology and giant uncaring corporations, or where we embrace the system to fight it from within.
With ‘21st Century Slave’, DOPE STARS INC. take up the cyberpunk themes of cult authors like William Gibson and give them musical form. An awe-inspiring collision of programmed electronics, heavy rock guitars and punk aggression, ‘21st Century Slave’ is easily DOPE STARS INC.’s most powerful and wide-ranging work to date: an emphatic artistic statement, perfectly produced by charismatic frontman Victor Love.
From the throbbing industrial dance beats of the ominous opening call to arms ‘Omega Drones’, to the unexpectedly sweet acoustic-pop melodies of final song ‘Its For You’, the album twists and turns but never disappoints. Both diverse and decisive in it’s musical choices, ‘21st Century Slave’ embraces industrial, nu metal and electro influences, but always finds a convergence that is uniquely DOPE STARS INC.
The first 300 copies of DWA’s Japanese Limited Edition of ‘21st Century Slave’ come in a 6-panel digipak with 16-panel colour booklet, 4-panel insert with Japanese liner notes, and obi.In the beautifully-designed artwork, Victor Love’s musical and lyrical vision is perfectly illustrated by digital artist Rhett Podersoo, whose depiction of our modern urban environment resonates with the visual aesthetic of Ridley Scott’s ‘Blade Runner’. Dirty cityscapes and harsh neon oppress us as attack helicopters patrol the polluted skies…and DOPE STARS INC. and their star emblem oversee all from rooftops and TV screens.
Following the enormous worldwide success of the ‘Criminal Intents/Morning Star’ EP – released as a special Japanese Limited Edition on June 20 (DWA 908) – comes DWA’s world-exclusive first release of ‘21st Century Slave’: which looks certain to be the glamorous and rebellious DOPE STARS INC.’s best-selling album so far!
