Album title

Production of the third album by Deathstars was revealed in an interview with the band conducted by Anthony Morgan of Lucem Fero in early 2008, where it was referred to by its working title, ''Deathglam''. Vocalist Whiplasher Bernadotte expanded on the title, saying, ". . . it'll just continue with the deathglam that we play. In terms of this new album's style, I think it's more Deathstars than ever . . ." Recently, the band has announced on their official website that the record has been re-dubbed ''Night Electric Night''. Whiplasher Bernadotte has stated that this is because calling the album ''Deathglam'' would be too "obvious".
