Transmissions

Starset

A cinematic collision of heavy rock riffs, soaring orchestral strings, and electronic pulses. This debut feels like a sci-fi epic projected onto a midnight sky.

It is like a Christopher Nolan movie turned into a heavy rock album.

A high-stakes sense of cosmic wonder mixed with the urgency of a transmission from the future.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the cinematic strings in 'It Has Begun' swell into a massive, wordless orchestral breakdown.
The jarring transition from the aggressive chorus of 'Carnivore' into the haunting, scientific spoken-word outro.
The sudden silence before the explosive final chorus of 'My Demons' hits with full electronic and guitar force.
