Rorschach Test has returned with a mission to let people who suffer from mental health

disorders, substance use disorders, and suicidal ideation know that they are not alone,

that there is hope and help available. In the words of James Baker, “It’s never too late to

come back from the darkest places a person can journey to.”

Rorschach Test’s new album will be released on October 31, 2024 via Unlabeled Artists.

About RORSCHACH TEST:

Rorschach Test is back, with a fresh lineup, renewed energy, and an important message

amidst their darkly-toned native language of Gothic Industrial Metal.

The root formula of Rorschach Test upholds its original concept: a cybernetic organism

with an overlay of human flesh, portrayed sonically in the form of synthesizers and

programming surrounded by live playing. What has changed, however, is the dynamic

new alliance of founding vocalist James Baker with the creative addition of Kolby

Peoples, and the inspiration and lyrical creations of the elusive and mysterious figure

known as The Narcoleptic Goddess, AKA Christine Baker, James’ wife.

Compared to the radical rumors and tales of his rebellious past, James Baker has come

full circle in embracing his identity as a person of faith, extending to his time spent the

past several years as a hospice chaplain. He carries his own journey as a source of

inspiration for himself and others, including through the non-profit record label of his

own creation, Unlabeled Artists, empowering underserved communities to support

themselves through their art.

An array of analog and traditional and vintage consoles, instruments, and equipment

produced recordings of Rorschach Test, with the true integrity of a human touch

provided by Mike Bolenbach (best known for Alice Cooper’s Welcome To My Nightmare)

of Full Well Recording Studios, with Kolby Peoples co-producing.

Lyric inspirations are the result of growth and transformation, unapologetically

addressing dark and difficult topics of realistic issues, negative archetypes, and

struggles of humanity. Doing so through the lens of metal serves to address the darkest

of sounds and subjects, understanding and embracing the shadows of life, inspiring

freedom from them in the process.

“Fallen”

Immortal Guardian

In the mountain

Amidst the stones of fire

I once walked

A signet of perfection

And beauty

Dripping in gems and gold

Corruption of wisdom

For the sake of splendor

A heart is filled with pride

A proclamation has been made

I will ascend above the assembly

I will ascend above the stars

I will ascend above

The throne most high

The throne most high

I will ascend above

Like lightning falling from the sky

In the blink of an eye

Lightning falling from the sky

In the blink of an eye

Destruction of the flesh

The spirit may be saved

One day saved

Permission has been granted

I’ll sift your souls as if they were wheat

Pacing back and forth

I’m always on the prowl

In this kingdom of mine

Disguised as light

Blinded are they whom I give sight

The tempter, the deceiver, the accuser

The whore

On bruised knees you will fall

As you cry out his name

Will he answer you this time

Or will you hear silence

Will you spirit fall

Like tears from your eyes

Just like…..

Lightning falling from the sky

In the blink of any eye

Lightning falling from the sky

In the blink of an eye

Released May 1, 2024

Produced by Kolby Peoples and Mike Bolenbach

Lyrics by Christine Baker.
