Silos is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Starset. It was released on September 12, 2025, by Fearless Records.[2]
Background
Unlike Starset's previous albums, Silos is largely a compilation of stand-alone songs that were released as singles throughout 2024 and 2025, originally intended as part of a potential extended play. Vocalist and songwriter Dustin Bates decided to combine these singles into a full album, adding some extra songs and several cinematic interludes to establish a unifying narrative for the individual songs that ties into the science fiction universe the band's music has traditionally been part of.[3] This is also Starset's first studio album to feature a title track, as well as covered songs that are part of the standard album's track listing.

All tracks are written by Dustin Bates except where noted.
