The USA-based Electromancy, a genre-warping, queer-driven force in extreme metal's darkest realms, is excited to announce its new album, Visions Of Utopia, out on 10 September. The album is about the composer, Steph Tranovich, and their journey of chronic illness. With themes of grief and healing, queer resilience and identity, technology and adaptation, and hope, healing and utopia, this album serves as an inspiration, especially to those queer, disabled, or politically progressive, to go when times get tough.
The band has also revealed the upcoming album's first single/video, "Utopic Visions", a defiant invocation of hope amid hardship; the track confronts the realities of chronic illness and societal despair while daring to imagine a brighter future. Composer and vocalist Steph Tranovich calls it "a spell to summon Utopia, or as close to it as we can reasonably get".
Musically, the song delivers a powerful blend of crushing low-end guitars, piercing highs, and swirling synths that build a hypnotic atmosphere, punctuated by glitch effects and Shaun Gallagher's commanding, razor-sharp vocals. With its dense textures and emotional clarity, "Utopic Visions" captures the heart of Electromancy's sonic alchemy, turning pain into purpose, distortion into resolve. Link
