Blackened cyber-doom duo Electromancy returns today with their latest single, »Thriving Cyborg«, a ferocious new track from their upcoming album »Visions Of Utopia« (out September 10, 2025). »Thriving Cyborg« is an anthem of survival, channeling grief, anger, perseverance, and celebration through the razor-edge precision of machines and the raw emotion of human struggle.
Written and produced by Steph Tranovich (they/them), a disabled, non-binary artist and inventor living with chronic Lyme disease, the song features custom-built robotic instruments. These machines are not props. They are assistive technologies Steph engineered to keep making music despite nerve damage that makes traditional performance impossible.
The accompanying video documents the creation of these robotic instruments and the physical challenges that inspired them. It offers a glimpse behind the curtain of how Electromancy’s music is not only written and composed but literally engineered to exist.
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 multi-instrumentalist 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.
