Aesthetic Perfection and Priest release ‘Rorschach’
Aesthetic Perfection and Priest released the single ‘Rorschach’ via Out Of Line Music, ahead of their joint European tour starting October 30, 2026.
Aesthetic Perfection and Swedish synthwave trio Priest released the single “Rorschach” via Out Of Line Music, a day ahead of the two bands’ joint European tour. “Rorschach” pairs Priest’s synthwave sound with Aesthetic Perfection’s industrial pop, and is named for the inkblot test, with lyrics about being seen only through other people’s projections instead of as one is.
“Rorschach” is available on Spotify. The single caps a year for Aesthetic Perfection that included a US headline tour and appearances at Till Fest in Leipzig, M’era Luna Festival and Summer Breeze Open Air.
