Telepathy

Biography:

Suffolk’s (UK) Telepathy are the avant-garde quartet driving cinematic metal to uncharted stratospheres in the 21st century. Their ability to synthesise progressive and breakneck riffs transcend audiences through astral planes of instrumental narrative.

Propelled by a creative carte blanche philosophy, Telepathy eclipse convention and limitation, making for unique compositions that ricochet and bend through genres with experimental gorgeousness. Whether it’s implementing atypical tunings, audio samples, or joyride-like timing signatures that leave listeners dizzy with exhilaration – anything goes. Predominantly communicated without vocals, Telepathy portrays diverse sonic landscapes and personal introspections by allowing their instruments alone to convey their concepts.  

Merging a myriad arsenal of musical influences (Tool,  Deftones, synthwave, 80s postpunk, et al.), it is the band’s pervading love for film and movie scores that dovetail its members beneath the Telepathy banner Telepathy released Tempest to rave reviews via Golden Antenna. The Quietus sanctioned the album as, “…such a dynamic, expressive and engaging piece of music that it stretches far beyond the instrumental metal tag.”

Following the albums critically acclaimed success, Telepathy subsequently toured 125 shows in support of Tempest over eight tours, performing at revered festivals, such as: Roadburn, ArcTanGent, Desertfest London and more.

March 2020, Telepathy once more pushed audiences tumbling down the sludge rabbit hole with the release of their third album, Burn Embrace, via Svart Records. Tracks such as Pariah, Black Earth and Void in Aimless Flight reach transcendental heights full of harrowing imagery of a world gone wrong. Post pandemic Telepathy unleashed Burn Embrace live to sold out audiences, touring across the UK and Europe with the likes of Oranssi Pazuzu. 

Now, partnered with Berlin based Pelagic Records and with their new album Transmissions on the brink of being officially blasted into the airwaves – the future promises to see the creative quartet reach uncharted heights in their unyielding exploration of the cinematic metal multiverse, “The new record sounds fresh in comparison to our past releases,” the band have tantalised thus far, “with far more emphasis on synthesisers and sound design bolstering our more metal influences.”
