ELECTROMANCY, genre-warping, queer-driven force in extreme metal’s darkest realms, is excited to announce their new album, Visions of Utopia, out September 10th, 2025. The album is about 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 going when times get tough.

Their first single, "Utopic Visions" is out now. 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.

About ELECTROMANCY:

Forged at the intersection of grief, resilience, and radical creativity, ELECTROMANCY is a boundary-defying black/doom/death metal duo from the Bay Area blending blistering sonic chaos with DIY robotics and raw human emotion. Formed in June 2019 by composer and vocalist Steph Tranovich (they/them), alongside co-vocalist Shaun Gallagher (he/him), ELECTROMANCY uses custom-built robotic instruments as a form of assistive technology—enabling Steph to continue making music despite their chronic illness. Their discography, spanning from the brutal Technopagan to the emotionally complex Visions of Utopia, chronicles Steph’s journey through disability and healing, channeling pain, perseverance, and moments of cathartic joy. With influences like THOU, MESHUGGAH, and LITURGY, the band fuses intricate polyrhythms with avant-garde metal, while exploring themes of queer identity, grief, and radical strength. Their live shows are visceral, theatrical experiences—robot guitars and LED-lit mannequins sharing the stage with two unapologetically human voices. ELECTROMANCY isn’t just for metal fans—it’s for anyone searching for something different, something real, and something powerful.
