UK avant-garde/cinematic post-metal quartet Telepathy has announced a reissue of the band’s second album, »Tempest«, set for release on January 15, 2027, via Pelagic Records. Long out of print on vinyl since 2018, the revisited record features a sharpened production approach, a full remaster by Machine (Clutch, Unpeople, Lamb Of God), reimagined artwork by Seana Reilly, and newly re-recorded tracks, »Hiraeth« and »Water Divides The Tide«.

“»Tempest« has been out of print on vinyl since 2018, so we’re thrilled to be bringing it back in this new special edition together with Pelagic Records. »Tempest« is a very special record to the band and opened many doors for us across the UK and Europe – and we know a lot of you missed out on copies the first time around,” Telepathy says about the album. “We’ve also had the pleasure of reimagining the original artwork by Seana Reilly for this edition, which features a die-cut sleeve and new coloured vinyl pressings. We didn’t want to simply bring the original record back, so we completely re-recorded the Redux tracks on Side D, allowing us to revisit them with everything we’ve developed as a band since.”

Accompanying the announcement, the band has unveiled the single »Water Divides The Tide (Redux)« alongside an official visualiser video, which you can watch HERE.

Through »Water Divides The Tide (Redux)« Telepathy sharpen the rougher edges of the original presentation and give way to a more controlled, open sound. The guitar tones cut through with greater definition while sitting more cohesively within the broader arrangement. Pulsating bass and melodic synthesizer details expand the track’s tonal palette, creating a panoramic quality that brings its different components into sharper focus. The music feels larger and more spacious, with individual elements contributing to a more unified whole.

“When we were writing and recording »Tempest«, this was exactly what we had in mind. In the years leading up to »Transmissions« we spent a lot of time in the studio experimenting with soft synths and hardware synthesis. We were reinventing what the band could be and what we could achieve sonically. As we worked on the arrangements, we realized these new versions had unlocked the full potential of the tracks. This visualiser captures the atmosphere we had in mind when we first wrote the track. We’d always imagined »Water Divides The Tide« as the soundtrack to a sci-fi Western, somethinglike Ennio Morricone gone instrumental metal,” Telepathy comments.

Across both reimagined tracks, the defining contrast is between increased clarity and enduring physical force. »Tempest (Redux)« presents an opportunity to experience the album from a fresh perspective. The revised sound gives each element more room to breathe, creating a clearer distinction between the weight of the instrumentation and the finer details woven throughout. Guitars carry greater presence and precision, while additional synthesizer textures introduce new melodic contours, rhythmic pulses and atmospheric layers. The result is a more expansive listening experience, in which the force of the music remains intact but its underlying intricacies become more apparent.

»Tempest (Redux)« will be out January 15, 2027, via Pelagic Records and is available for pre-order HERE.
