Telepathy - Biography
Biography
At the time of writing, self-styled 'instru-metal' titans Telepathy are on a warpath. Having returned home from a torrent of successful shows in support of their second album Tempest, patrons of the ever-growing metal scene across Europe and the UK (the island that the band calls home) bore witness to the vicious aural storm for which Telepathy are rapidly becoming renowned.
Telepathy formed in 2011, the product of three Polish brothers (Piotr, Albert, and Krystian Turek) and one English guitarist (Richard Powley), later joined by bassist Teddy James Driscoll. The quintet's second and most recent LP, Tempest (Spring 2017) was released to rave reviews globally, including Metal Hammer, Kerrang!, The Quietus, Visions, Metal Hammer Germany, and more.
Now with 2 full-length albums under their belt; 2017's acclaimed Tempest and their 2014 debut album 12 Areas, Telepathy has been embraced with open arms by even the most unyielding fans of post-metal, black metal, hardcore, doom and sludge alike; a testament to their inspired, nuanced and emotionally punishing take on metal. With such an array of styles and emotions forming a unique and cohesive whole, Telepathy displays an uncanny ability to unite fans of all types of heavy music and draw them into their mysterious and alluring world.
The spring of 2017 marked the release of Telepathy's second sonic offering, Tempest. The 52 minute concept album; recorded at Orgone Studios with producer/engineer Jaime Gomez Arellano, enjoyed notably positive reviews across print media outlets, blogs and webzines from all corners of the globe and demonstrated a departure from their frenzied debut, 12 Areas.
In support of Tempest, the band took to the road to stun audiences across the continent during 3 extensive tours of the UK and Europe. From performances in the clubs of the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Romania, to appearances at the legendary Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands, Berlin Swamp Fest and Into the Void Festival, the band's furious live show has made Telepathy one of the most talked about bands in the heavy metal underground and has gained them a substantial and devoted fan base along the way, owing greatly to their unwavering commitment to touring and recording.
With a triumphant 2017 now behind them, the band are preparing to rocket through 2018 with more momentum than ever before. With their first outing to the Canary Islands in February, 2 more full European tours in the works and confirmed appearances at London's Desertfest and premier post-metal mecca, Dunk! Festival, Telepathy has undoubtedly established themselves as one of metal's most intriguing prospects in recent years and are showing no signs of stopping.
Instrumental post-metal sludge quartet Telepathy has announced their anticipated third full-length record, Burn Embrace, due 27th March via Svart Records.
Having taken the post-metal scene by storm, Burn Embrace sees Telepathy ignite their spark and leave behind a scorched earth in the eclectic wake of their blackened sludge, post-black and epic doom.
The band comment: "We're super excited to announce the release of our 3rd full-length album Burn Embrace. Recorded during the summer of 2019 at Orgone Studios with Jaime Gomez Arellano (Ghost, Myrkur, Paradise Lost), Burn Embrace is an album born of struggle, overcoming adversity and ultimately embracing the changes that come with growth".
The band has also announced shows in support of the news:
22.03.2020 - Colchester, Arts Centre
26.03.2020 - London, The Black Heart
28.03.2020 - Manchester, Riffolution Festival
29.03.2020 - Bristol, The Lanes
Telepathy played over 125 shows in support of Tempest over eight tours and performed at acclaimed festivals, including Roadburn, ArcTanGent, Desertfest London, and more. Support tours with Sólstafir and Saint Vitus have the newer quintet marked as one of the most revered and talked-about groups in the instrumental post-metal scene.
Burn Embrace will look to carry this legacy and then some - a scintillating mix of sludge, post-black, doom, and blackened metal from a band fully worthy of their praise.
