‘Tempest’<\/em> is the long awaited sophomore full-length from U K instrumental titans, Telepathy. Recorded, mixed and mastered at London\u2019s Orgone Studios by lauded producer \/engineer Jaime Gomez Arellano<\/strong> ( Ghost, Opeth, Paradise Lost, Altar of Plagues, Cathedral ), ‘Tempest’<\/em> follows in the footsteps of Telepathy\u2019s<\/strong> critically acclaimed 2014 debut ’12 Areas’<\/em> and is very much a concept record.<\/p>\n

‘Tempest’<\/em> depicts the harrowing journey of a person beset with grief and faced with total isolation after awaking from a great flood. The album guides the listener on a journey through awakening, desolation and finally acceptance.<\/p>\n

Further showcasing the band\u2019s no-holds-barred approach to songwriting, ‘Tempest’<\/em> fuses elements of post-metal, sludge, doom and black metal with unorthodox and complex song structures, creating a cohesive and cathartic tapestry of unique instrumental metal. The inclusion of tortured
\nvocals on the album\u2019s centerpiece, Echo of Souls<\/strong>, shows a band un-afraid to travel into uncharted waters, further cementing their reputation as a forward thinking and unique group in today\u2019s experimental metal
\nscene.<\/p>\n

Where its predecessor ’12 Areas’<\/em> was by intention a chaotic and furious exploration of sound, ‘Tempest<\/em>‘ marks a shift towards a more balanced and open sonic pallette. More dynamic, spacious and refined than before, but with an added emphasis on sonic weight, unbridled heaviness, melody and emotional depth.<\/p>\n

Telepathy<\/strong> spent the majority of 2016 stunning audiences up and down the UK with their immersive and intense live show, building upon their ever growing following. Highlights included appearances alongside fellow UK metal veterans Raging Speedhorn, Oathbreaker, American post-metal pioneers and labelmates Rosetta and most notably an appearance at the prestigious Desertfest in London.<\/p>\n

The band recently completed a five date European tour in September 2016 which saw the band return to Incubate Festival in Tilburg for the second time. ‘Tempest’<\/em> marks a brand new chapter in the band\u2019s career, and with its definitive line-up in place \u2013 owing to the addition of new bass player Teddy-James Driscoll<\/strong> \u2013 ‘Tempest’ showcases a ruthlessly punishing, heavy and emotionally demanding take on instrumental music.<\/p>\n

The 2 LP comes with an etching on side D, download code and on 180 gr vinyl.<\/p>\n
