New album due next year, check out a track
STARSET’s new album ‘Vessels’ is set for release on January 20, 2017 via Spinefarm/Razor & Tie. The sophomore release from the band, helmed by aural architect Dustin Bates, is a data-stream rendered in sound, where Bates’ plaintive howl becomes the deus-ex-machina in an age of information overload – the wail of a ghost in an increasingly complex yet ultimately human machine. Fans received their first taste of the new album with “Monster” recently, which is now available at all digital retailers and streaming outlets.
Last Friday, October 28, “Monster” made its debut via SIRIUSXM’s Octane channel in the US. The track was also posted to YouTube (click HERE), and a short week later the video has amassed over 400,000 views supporting great anticipation for new music from STARSET. Look for its official video to be revealed in the coming weeks.
Produced by Rob Graves (Halestorm, Red) and mixed by Ben Grosse (Breaking Benjamin, Filter), ‘Vessels’ is the follow-up to STARSET’s 2014 Razor & Tie debut, Transmissions, a landmark album selling in excess of a quarter million combined albums, streams and downloads, and propelled by singles including the unforgettable “My Demons” (which spent an unprecedented 43 weeks on the U.S. rock charts). Bates approached ‘Vessels’ with the singular intent of pushing boundaries.
What began as a near-planetary collision of sound, vision and iconoclastic ideologies inspired by the likes of Nikola Tesla and Ray Kurzweil (AKA: The Father of Singularity) has taken a bold step forward with ‘Vessels’.
Starset is Dustin Bates, Ron DeChant (bass), Brock Richards (guitar) and drummer Adam Gilbert (drums). The band plans to tour extensively throughout 2017 with dates to be announced soon.
