Purveyors of crunching, arena-filling rock anthems, Starset was formed in 2013 by ambitious frontman Dustin Bates, formerly the lead singer of Downplay. Comprised of an ever-evolving collective of musicians, the outfit fuses cinematic rock with a sense of the theatrical - the band operates under a self-constructed mythos in which they are recruits of the secret Starset Society and are tasked with spreading awareness of sonic transmissions from the constellation Ophiuchus.
