Bio
I See Stars is an American band formed in 2006 in Warren, Michigan, widely credited as pioneers of the electronicore genre — a fusion of post-hardcore and metalcore intensity with electronic, EDM, and trance elements. The founding lineup features Devin Oliver (lead vocals), Andrew Oliver (keyboards, programming, vocals), Brent Allen (guitar), and Jeff Valentine (bass). Over time, I See Stars developed a signature sound that merges aggressive breakdowns and screamed vocals with shimmering synths and melodic choruses. Their blend of heaviness and electronic precision reshaped the modern metal landscape and inspired a wave of hybrid acts. The group debuted with 3-D (2009 via Sumerian Records), reaching the Billboard 200 and earning recognition for its youthful energy and dual-vocal dynamic. They followed with The End of the World Party (2011), Digital Renegade (2012), New Demons (2013), and the re-imagined album Phases (2015), which showcased acoustic and electronic reinterpretations of past songs. Their sixth studio album, Treehouse (2016), marked a creative reinvention after lineup changes, featuring Devin Oliver handling both clean and unclean vocals — a move that cemented their evolution toward cinematic, electronically layered production. After a brief hiatus, I See Stars returned in 2023 – 2025 with renewed intensity. They released singles “Anomaly”, “Drift”, and “Split”, culminating in their long-awaited full-length album The Wheel (released September 12 2025 via Sumerian Records). The record continues their tradition of balancing electronic ambiance and emotional storytelling with heavy-hitting riffs and melodic catharsis. Known for their dynamic live performances, the band has toured extensively with peers such as Asking Alexandria, We Came as Romans, and Of Mice & Men, performing on major tours like Warped Tour and Sumerian 10-Year Anniversary Tour. Their visual and sonic aesthetic — neon-futuristic, introspective, and emotionally charged — has made them one of the most innovative names bridging rock and electronic music. Over nearly two decades, I See Stars has matured from a teenage post-hardcore outfit into a technologically progressive act pushing the limits of metal’s digital frontier. Their music explores growth, loss, perseverance, and human connection in a digitized world, maintaining an enduring influence within the electronicore movement.
