Brian and Kevin are here to shine the light on another of their favorite bands, Columbus' electronic hard rock and metal superstars, the incredible Starset!! Begun in 2013, Starset has since released four albums, with the latest being late 2021's "Horizons", from Fearless Records.

Starset is led by vocalist and keyboardist Dustin Bates. Joining Dustin are Ron DeChant on bass, Brock Richards on lead guitar, and Adam Gilbert on drums. When performing live, they are often joined by the fantastic Siobhan Richards on violin and Zuzana Engererova on cello. We can personally attest that STARSET live show is incredibly energetic and interesting. Among their incredible songs are "My Demons", "Satellite", "Trials", and "Carnivore".

Biographical information on Starset from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starset):

Starset is an American rock band from Columbus, Ohio, formed by Dustin Bates in 2013. They released their debut album, Transmissions, in 2014 and their second album, Vessels, on January 20, 2017. The band has found success in expanding the ideas of their concept albums through social media and YouTube, with the band generating over $230,000 in revenue from views from the latter as of November 2016. Their single "My Demons" had accumulated over 280 million YouTube views in the same time period. Their most commercially successful song, "Monster", peaked at number 2 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart in May 2017. A third studio album, Divisions, was released on September 13, 2019, with their fourth studio album, Horizons, released on October 22, 2021.

Starset's musical style has been described as hard rock, electronic rock, alternative rock, and progressive rock.Due to the large number of styles, instruments, and influences of the band's work, many outlets, including AllMusic, Billboard, and Revolver all commonly label the band as "rock" or as a "rock band". Bates informally describes the music as "cinematic rock". He elaborated further as to what he means by the self-prescribed label, saying it's "as if a hard rock band did the soundtrack to an epic blockbuster movie ... we're blending symphonics with electronics with riff-driven, baritone guitar hard rock." Bates explained the evolution of sound with the band's second album, Vessels: "Whereas [Transmissions] was centered in the hard rock lane before, now it goes more metal at times, and the guitar work borrows from djent stylings, and it gets more ambient at times, using electronics at a more deeply integrated level. Whereas the strings were more cinematic, there was more of a quartet before, on this record it’s more of an orchestration..." Bates also stated he implemented some elements of EDM into the second album. Dave Richards Erie Times-News' described the band's sound as "blending the progressive aspirations of Muse with the openhearted approach of emotional and muscular power of bands like Breaking Benjamin". Bates also includes a notable amount of harsh vocals as well as both raw and pitch corrected clean vocals for many different effects.

Influences of Starset include Hans Zimmer, Nine Inch Nails, Sigur Ros, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Deftones, Linkin Park and Breaking Benjamin.
