BLACK TEMPEST – “Psyborg” LP (Blue Splatter Vinyl)

In the grand tradition of space rock, Psyborg is a tale of the juxtaposition and opposition of human consciousness and the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence. Broadly speaking, the digital sections of music represent the AI, and the analogue elements represent human consciousness.

As is the way with music, each of these elements can also be found within each other – so in the end you can view the AI/Human relationship as a Yin/Yang combination. As the story progresses, both parties realize that they need each other to survive, and a third possibility arises. At the end of the day, this is a good old fashioned love story.
Released September 24, 2021 through Weird Beard Records.
