xDEATHSTARx was a Christian metalcore group originating from Redlands, California, known for their American roots. The entire lineup adhered to the straight edge lifestyle, integrating both Christian beliefs and straight edge principles that addressed issues related to contemporary societal norms.
History
Their first album was launched in 2004 under the Facedown Records label. Throughout their career, they released two full-length albums and two independently produced EPs via Facedown Records, Life Sentence Records, and I Witness Media. The band’s composition included three vocalists, two guitarists, and a bassist. Notably, xDEATHSTARx made an appearance on the Discovery Channel program Monster Garage. In 2008, they issued a remastered re-release of their debut album. The group declared their disbandment in March 2009 and performed a farewell concert at Facedown Fest that same year.
Although often speculated to be vegans, their biography mentions a "ThanksVegan" gathering held in Redlands. Following the split, most members formed the band Sleeping Giant, with the exception of Matt Weir who joined Remembrance. The band briefly reunited for a one-time performance in 2015.
By May 2015, the roster included musicians affiliated with Sleeping Giant, Impending Doom, and Winds of Plague.
