media release: STARSET have announced their Fall 2021 U.S. demonstrations. This immersive voyage comes to The Sylvee in Madison on 12/11.

The band has just announced their fourth studio album, HORIZONS, due out October 22. A continued and captivating narrative, HORIZONS delivers a cinematic soundscape that accompanies the listener through pain, love, descent, and triumph. The world has been consumed by synthetic methods of escaping reality. It is with this technology that we are able to explore life through other users' experiences — finally, the ability to be someone else. STARSET's epic hard rock styling does not disappoint, as we travel a newfound digital frontier along with them. 

Formed in 2013 by Columbus, Ohio singer/songwriter/frontman Dustin Bates, STARSET's first album Transmissions debuted at number 49 on the Billboard 200 chart, one of the highest-charting debuts for a rock band in 2014. The group's intricately-crafted sci-fi backstory piqued the interest of fans, and they subsequently released the concept album Vessels in 2017, followed by DIVISIONS in 2019. Their song "Monster" peaked at number 2 on the Billboard U.S. Mainstream Rock chart in May 2017, and by 2020, the band had tallied over two billion streams worldwide. STARSET's latest single is "INFECTED." STARSET have received critical acclaim from Billboard, Forbes, Loudwire, Nerdist, and beyond over the course of their career. 

All Good Things celebrate the release of their new album A Hope In Hell, their first full-length LP since signing with Better Noise Music. The highly-anticipated release comes following a celebratory milestone for the band last week, when they achieved their first-ever #1 at U.S. rock radio with breakthrough track "For The Glory (featuring Hollywood Undead)." 

Thanks to the success and global appeal of the track, which serves as the album's lead official single, the band has reached millions of new fans across the world over the past several months. Thanks to over 300M streams across platforms, including user-generated content, the song has more lifetime streams than any other rock radio #1 hit this year. The song's wide reach is owed to hundreds of sync licenses; the song was heard during an eclectic mix of major tentpole cultural moments this year including the Stanley Cup Finals, ABC News' broadcast promo for the recent State of the Union, and most recently during NBC's broadcast of the Tokyo Summer Olympics. Full album track listing is below.  

To add to the celebration of the album's unleashing into the world, the band also dropped the video for second single "The Comeback" today, featuring Better Noise labelmate Craig Mabbitt of multi-platinum band Escape The Fate. The new single received critical praise upon its release last month, with Loudwire calling it "a fist-to-the-air anthem, soaring and uplifting in nature."  

The band said of the album, "We've had a crazy journey leading up to this album release, and we couldn't be more grateful for the fans who inspired us through the process. The band has never been more proud of a body of work, and we really hope you enjoy A Hope In Hell as much as we enjoyed creating it. We've all had a rough couple years, and this collection of uplifting epic rock is what the world needs right now. Catch us on tour in a city near you!"  

All Good Things recently kicked off a slew of tour dates for the remainder of 2021, bringing to life their epic arena rock sound. They've joined P.O.D. on their Satellite 20th Anniversary Tour, along with labelmates From Ashes to New and Sleep Signals. Later this fall, they'll join Starset and The World Alive on the road, and the band was also added to a select list of key festival dates in the coming months.  

Both the massive success of "For The Glory" and the quick rise of the band's profile due to the song's ever-increasing audience are a testament to the band's unique artist development story in this modern age of streaming. After initially writing and recording music to place in various games, TV shows, movies, and advertisements, the band found a signature sound, which quickly attracted an organic core fanbase. This caught the attention of Better Noise Music, the reigning number one rock label by both Mediabase and Billboard, as data showed the band's followers and numbers were growing by the day.    

With hundreds of millions of streams across platforms, All Good Things have seen their music more than double in monthly consumption since signing to Better Noise Music. The album opener, "Kingdom," a high-energy track and their first offering with BNM, was met with praise from fans and critics alike. Additionally, the band will take their cinematic sound to the upcoming horror-thriller film The Retaliators, a Better Noise Films production. "For The Glory" appears on the film's soundtrack, and the official music video debuted new footage from the film when it premiered this past March. The film is set to make its world premiere at Arrow Video FrightFest 2021 in London on August 30th.
