Oakland, California's Electromancy have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an experimental mixture of black, doom and death metal with the aid of robots and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Visions of Utopia" which will be released in September.
A very distorted yet heavy sound starts off the album along with some spoken words a few seconds later. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while t he vocals also add in a lot of high pitched black metal screams and at times the music also gets very avant garde and experimental sounding.
Death metal growls can also be heard quite a bit throughout the album while a lot of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Electronic and robot sounds are also a very huge part of the recording along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the recording more of a raw feeling as well as the slower sections of the songs also bringing in elements of doom metal and throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, synths can also be heard at times. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover queer identity, grief and radical strength.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Electromancy and if you are a fan of experimental black, doom and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Utopic Visions" and "Thriving Ctborg". 8 out of 10.
