With frontman Dustin Bates provides the face for Starset, bassist Ron DeChant, guitarist Brock Richards and drummer Adam Gilbert dress in gear you’d usually associate with astronauts. The result is a striking visual image of futuristic tech meeting live rock ’n’ roll.
Starset’s sophomore album, Vessels, drops Jan. 20 via Razor & Tie. The band’s advance press describes the release as “a data-stream rendered in sound where Bates becomes the deus-ex-machina in an age of information overload that is increasingly complex yet ultimately human.”
First single from the LP is “Monster.”
