THE FIRST ALBUM
Zero Hour
Our debut, our launch, our first, Starlite breaks onto the musical stage with the album 'Zero Hour.'
With Aurelius on guitar, Luna on the vocals, and a mix of users on bass and drums, this brings modern pop together with rock and metal of the eighties.
Production for the album began in October in 2023, after a long conversation involving three sentences, them being; 'Shall we make an album?', 'Sure, why not.', 'Alright, let's get to it.'
Most of the music was written by Aurelius while both himself and Luna had both contributed with getting the lyrics onto paper. They combined their loves of Rock/Metal and Pop to bring together a sound that resembles that of the 1990s and early 2000s.
They managed to wrap it all up at the end of March in 2024, a whole week before their deadline, and started to plan the road beyond the release which had been scheduled for April 26th.
"The trip we took to make this album has been... interesting. We have some songs that'll hit hard with people's emotions, and some that'll have you boping in the car." - Aurelius, Lead guitar.
"Although Zero Hour had it's ups and downs in the creation process, we got through it, and had a laugh doing it. We hope the listeners will enjoy it as much as we do." - Luna, Lead singer.
Aftermath
Six months after the debut album, Zero Hour, the band got together in the studio for something special. Something that was more than just an experimental idea.
Over the summer, they aided in providing the soundtrack for a GWS (Glastonbury, Wells, and Street) Radio drama, titled 'The Aftermath'. In tribute to something so exciting, they decided to clash their heads and make a single dedicated to the show.
This time, the creation was split between Aurelius and Luna with the music and lyrics respectively.
Additionally, it was also the first time a seven string guitar had been used to record a track for Starlite.
"Aftermath is one of those singles that happened by magic. We layered multiple tracks of vocals, guitars, bass, strings, the works." - Aurelius, Lead guitar and Drums.
"All together, the song came out more impressive than I could say the others [Zero Hour] did. I can say, all together, I am proud of this song, and how far we've come with our music creation." - Luna, Vocals.
THE SECOND ALBUM
Fire and Ice
Fire and Ice is the second official release from the band, launching on October 24th 2025.
Originally built off their success after Zero Hour and Aftermath, the team went back into the studio to write more amazing songs. They wanted to stay with the story telling principle that made their previous tracks, but go all the way to eleven when making them special.
The listing went through many changes and iterations, but in the end, they agreed on their final nine songs. They also agreed to add a tenth song as a homage to Zero Hour, and that was the live version of Let Us Be Free from their performance at Meare in 2024.
"We worked hard over the past year, mainly since our last show of 2024. We wanted to make {Redacted} as best as it could be. We were hit with problems in the early year, and it took some time, but we got there, and it was certainly a journey." - Aurelius
