Tempest is the long awaited sophomore full-length from UK instrumetal titans, Telepathy. Recorded, mixed and mastered at Londons Orgone Studios by lauded producer/engineer Jaime Gomez Arellano (Ghost, Opeth, Paradise Lost, Altar of Plagues, Cathedral), Tempest follows in the footsteps of Telepathys critically acclaimed 2014 debut 1 2 Areas and is very much a concept record. Tempest depicts the harrowing journey of a person beset with grief and faced with total isolation afterawaking from a great flood. The album guides the listener on a journey through awakening, desolation and finally acceptance.Further showcasing the bands no-holds-barred approach to songwriting, Tempest 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 vocals on the albums centerpiece, Echo of Souls, shows a band unafraidto travel into uncharted waters, further cementing their reputation as a forward thinking and unique group in todays experimental metal scene. Where its predecessor 1 2 Areas was by intention a chaotic and furious exploration of sound, Tempest 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.
