Describing their sound as cinematic rock, the stylistically ambitious Columbus, Ohio rock band Starset emerged in the mid-2010s with a thoroughly developed thematic narrative already in place. Through sweeping science fiction concept albums like 2017s Vessels and 2019s Divisions, the band built a devoted audience and enjoyed chart success in the process. Starsets fourth LP, Horizons, appeared in October 2021.Led by former Downplay frontman Dustin Bates, Starset have constructed an elaborate mythos surrounding themselves (as detailed on their website and shared through their social media posts), in which they insist they were recruited by one Dr. Aston Wise of the Starset Society to spread awareness of scientific phenomena that have been ignored or hidden from public view, most notably transmissions believed to be of human origin that have been broadcast from the constellation Ophiuchus. However, Bates and his bandmates first came together in July 2013, when their debut single, Carnivore, was released online. A second track, My Demons, appeared in August 2013, after which the band made its live debut in Salem, Ohio on November 27, 2013.Starset laid down their conceptual premise with 2014s Transmissions, their full-length debut. Released by Razor Monster. Capitalizing on their momentum, Starset released a deluxe version of the LP (Vessels 2.0) in 2018 featuring reimagined, acoustic, and remixed versions of its songs. During this period, Bates also debuted his electronic side project, MNQN, after which Starset returned to work, releasing their third proper full-length, Divisions, in September 2019. The set debuted at number 37 on the Billboard 200 and further expanded the bands ongoing narrative about a dystopian future world. It was also their first release for the Fearless label, which also released Starsets fourth album, Horizons, in October of 2021.
