RORSCHACH TEST Premieres “Belated” at Revolver New Album Fallen Drops October 31st

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

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

premieres “Belated” – the second single from upcoming Fallen album.

Dark Wave OG James Baker shares “My hope in writing ‘Belated’ was to help get the conversation about substance use disorder and mental health going, until we all demand an end to the stigmas, and no longer hear the voices of those lost, saying goodbye from their graves. I could say that “the song is based on a true story, because it is, but I think that it is based on thousands of true stories happening daily. ”

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

and electronic 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 – whose guitar, writing, and production abilities draw parallels with the

likes of Jeff Loomis – and the inspiration and lyrical creations of the elusive and

mysterious figure known as The Narcoleptic Goddess.

Following years of silence since their last release, Rorschach Test re-emerged in 2024

with a new single in tow, paving the path to a full album launch. “Fallen” was

accompanied by a music video created by Alex Chacon of Chacon Media, with a cast of

Phoenix actors and a special appearance by lyricist The Narcoleptic Goddess herself.

The story portrayed is one old as mankind, a reminder that “pride goes before a fall”.

Rorschach Test released the title track from the upcoming Fallen album and celebrated Goth Day with a video premiere at Outburn (May 22, 2024).

About RORSCHACH TEST:

Founder James Baker’s musical origins started in the church, with his natural musical

ability standing out through the weekly ritual of hymns and gospel. Rock music was off

limits in his youth, sparking his initial rebellion against tradition while he pursued his

desire for rock and roll. He learned guitar and continued to sing, this time in a drastically

different style than that of his church upbringing, leading to Rorschach Test’s well-known

debut on Slipdisc/Mercury Records, 1998’s Unclean.

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. Rather than looking back in history, he

focuses on the present, and carries his own journey as a source of inspiration for

himself and others, including through his work with the Alice Cooper Solid Rock

Foundation, and the non-profit record label of his own creation, Unlabeled Artists,

empowering underserved communities to support themselves through their art.

James knew at first visit that Full Well Recording Studios was the ideal creative space,

with an array of analog and traditional and vintage consoles, instruments, and

equipment available for owner Mike Bolenbach (best known for Alice Cooper’s Welcome

2 My Nightmare) to produce the most authentic recordings of Rorschach Test, with the

true integrity of a human touch. Kolby, whose musical background includes a stint as

the guitarist of CO-OP with Dash Cooper, co-produced alongside Mike Bolenbach.

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.

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.”
