The album's first single, ' Monster' was released on October 28, 2016. The 88-page graphic novel was co-written by Dustin Bates and Peter David, illustrated by Mirko Colak, and released in September 2017.

On October 4, 2016, Starset posted to their social media an image from a graphic novel produced by Marvel Comics as a tie-in to The Prox Transmissions. Rob Graves, who produced Transmissions, announced on Januthat the making of Starset's second record has 'officially commenced.' Along with the announcement of European tour dates supporting Breaking Benjamin, Starset announced their second album, which Bates said would be more stylistically diverse than the previous, ranging in genre from metal to pop. The band later released an accompanying novel, The Prox Transmissions, further detailing Bates' fictional back-history of the Starset Society story. Three singles were released in promotion of the album ' My Demons,' ' Carnivore,' and ' Halo.' They also performed well in the charts, reaching fifth, sixteenth, and sixteenth respectively on the Billboard US Mainstream Rock charts. The release debuted at number 49 on the US Billboard 200 charts, making it one of the highest debut albums for a rock band in 2014, and as of 2016, had sold over 79,000 copies. The band released their debut album Transmissions on July 8, 2014. Starset treats their backstory and The Starset Society as real in interviews, with few exceptions. The Society's aims were to alert the public about the contents of 'the Message' the society obtained from a mysterious signal from space. In the backstory, Starset was formed as part of a public outreach initiative by The Starset Society. Bates created the fictional backstory for the band that forms the thematic basis for their music and multimedia. He completed research for the US Air Force and also taught at the International Space University. Bates' interest in astronomy was first fueled when acquiring his master's in electrical engineering as he studied at Ohio University.

Starset was formed in 2013 by Downplay vocalist Dustin Bates, who is also the band's lead singer, songwriter, and keyboardist.
