ShadowMouth and The Elder Goths Collaborate on Twin Tracks “The Promise of Alchemy and The Death of Chemistry”

Pittsburgh industrial project ShadowMouth, led by multi-instrumentalist Rick Polo with producer Brooks Farris, collaborated with Cleveland vocal trio The Elder Goths (Cassandra Bishop, Laura O’Janpa, Gina Schultz) on a paired single released August 12th. The two tracks, “The Promise of Alchemy” and “The Death of Chemistry,” serve as the final preview before ShadowMouth’s debut album Modern Alchemy. Polo initiated the collaboration with The Elder Goths despite never meeting them, drawn to their striking harmonies. The first track explores transformation and awakening through Aphex Twin-influenced electronics and layered vocals evoking Dead Can Dance and Faith and the Muse. The second ventures into darker territory, examining manipulation and corruption through Schultz’s lyrics about deception and dangerous charisma. Together, the songs form a study in attraction and corruption, their power amplified by the creative trust between previously unacquainted musicians.
