Sci-fi-inspired rock band STARSET has just dropped their latest single, Dark Things, a chilling dive into obsession and self-destruction. The track weaves eerie melodies with an intense, hypnotic energy, pulling listeners into a world where devotion takes a dark turn. Lyrics like “Mayday, we've been sinking here slowly / Turning into something unholy” build a cinematic tension that’s both haunting and powerful.
With the ominous warning, “When you search the dark, you get dark things,” STARSET delivers a gripping anthem that lingers long after the song ends.Watch the video here
As a STARSET fan since the vignettes leading up to My Demons, there is no other band like them out there. STARSET’s approach to rock is filled with cinematic thrills and catchy tunes with each song released stretching the confines of rock and metal wider than the known observable universe. Since the inception, Bates has teamed with his former members of Downplay such as bassist Ron DeChant, drummer Adam Gilbert (who also co-runs Drum Abuse with fellow concert photographer Zach Stepek), guitarist Brock Richards, the additions of orchestra duo violinist Siobhan Richards, cellist Zuzana Engererova, and pianist/synthesist Cory Juba to bring their cinematic “Demonstrations” to fans across the world.The collective calls their live shows “Demonstrations,” as they serve to do two things in tandem: create an immersive journey into the realms of science fiction and sonic exploration and reveal pieces of the universe they created across music, comic books, novels, and more as part of their performance and immersive experience. Doing so, the band has gravitated their demonstrations to a full-on production that takes fans out of a concert setting and brings them on a journey to the alternate world inhabited by STARSET and the citizens within. The power of STARSET’s shows can turn your local venue into a full-blown planetarium with the full force of a dying star.
Dark Things also follows their 2024 releases TOKSIK, BRAVE NEW WORLD, and DEGENERATE, and the band is currently on their AE03 tour, an intimate acoustic performance mixed with a meet and greet experience. You can get tickets at VIP.STARSETONLINE.com

Visionary media collective STARSET have carved out a unique path as part cinematic rock band, part conceptual storytellers, weaving an intricate narrative through multimedia and redefining the concept of a truly immersive entertainment experience. Led by enigmatic front man and PhD candidate Dustin Bates, the band have made a mission to take fans on a journey through music, video, AR-integrated performances, a Marvel graphic novel, and online experiences, blurring the lines of science, fact, and fiction.In the early hours of New Years Day 2013, a radio astronomer at the Allen Telescope Array in northern California discovered a mysterious signal emanating from a star within the Ophiuchus Constellation.
Contained within the signal was a Message--of human origin--foretelling the details of man's imminent demise. The Message was brought to The Starset Society, who quickly realized the importance of its immediate publication.
Risking extreme danger, The Starset Society commissioned a group of musicians and scientists to assist them in spreading the knowledge to a broader audience. This group became known simply as STARSET.
Please hold. STARSET will begin the TRANSMISSION of the Message to the public shortly.
