Synthetic Generation is the debut album of the Swedish metal band Deathstars. This was the only album to have Beast X Electric (Erik Halvorsen) on rhythm guitar.
In a 2015 interview, frontman Whiplasher Bernadotte said that album "was more of an experiment – we didn’t know where we were heading, so it just became… something".
