Starset Has ‘Vessel,’ Will Tour

Decked out in helmets and pressure suits, the intrepid music makers collectively known as Starset embark on a tour in beginning in mid-January.  The flight plan includes stops in Chicago, Denver, Pittsburgh and Houston as well as a record release show in the band’s hometown.

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.”
