Facedown Records has announced the signing of Redlands, California-based xDeathstarx. The hardcore band released their five-song demo, Beware of the xDEATHSTARx in 2003.

The band blends "the sounds of At the Gates, Disembodied, and Hatebreed with lyrics that mirror their philosophy of positive living and heart-felt scene experience."

The band will appear at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival as well as Facedown Fest shortly. After that, they will enter Trax East Studios with Eric Rachel to record their full length debut for an August 2006 release.
