TELEPATHY
%20(1)_edit.jpg)
Suffolk’s (UK) Telepathy are the avant-garde quartet driving cinematic sludge-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.
“I think writing instrumental music came quite naturally. I was always attracted to big, epic tunes and found that instrumental music is a good medium to really include a story within the music. It leaves a lot of freedom for interpretation, and that’s one of the factors that always drew me towards instrumental music.”
PIOTR TUREK
“I love it when the music haunts me,
Same as with movies.”

Merging a myriad arsenal of musical influences (Tool, Deftones, synth wave, 80s postpunk, et al.), it is the band’s pervading love for film and movie scores that
dovetail its members beneath the Telepathy banner.
“I kept hearing this crazy music coming from the practice studio, amazing drummer, and really interesting rhythmics and a sound that fell right in the middle of my tastes…I could understand their music in my heart and hear counter melodies and climaxes that I would love to contribute to.”
RICHARD POWLEY
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 harrowingimagery 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.

Autumn 2024: With a new partnership with the acclaimed Berlin based label Pelagic Records and a new album, Transmissions, released March 2025 the band are transforming their approach to music.
​
Transmissions is at once a reinvention and logical evolution of Telepathy's evocative and cinematic take on instrumental metal. The new album seamlessly blends immersive synth and cinematic sound design with the bands progressive and riff-laden post-metal. Transmissions marks the culmination of 4 years of deep experimentation and rebirth for the Suffolk based band.
​
“The new record sounds fresh in comparison to our past releases,” the band have tantalised thus far, “For the first time we believe we’ve touched on what Telepathy is and can be at the same time”
