Following a whirlwind year in promotion of their new album “Lost Ritual” including stops at Desertfest and Download Festival, Corby, UK sextet RAGING SPEEDHORN have announced they will be unable to play any further shows in 2016.

The band have made the following announcement:

“It is with great sadness that we have to announce the cancellation of all our shows for the remainder of 2016 and the immediate cease in activity until the New Year. Raging Speedhorn is a unit, we work together or not at all and right now we need to be together to take care of one of our number. We hope you understand that we don’t want to go into details or go public with any information other than to say we will be back in the New Year. This is just something we have to do so we can make sure we can come back in 2017 fully ready for anything it has to throw at us. I hope you will understand and respect our privacy in this matter.

We’d like to say sorry to all the promoters who’ve booked us, bands who were due to play shows with us and fans who are attending any of the shows we had booked for the remainder of the year. We hope any shows that still go ahead will still be attended, if possible, and that you have a great time with us in mind. You the fans are why we do this and without you we are nothing. All of us are forever grateful for everything you do in support of the Horn, you are like family to us. Right now, we need to regroup and take care of our own.

Party hard, take care of one another and see you in 2017.”

The band have asked for privacy for the time being on the matter and insist they will return in 2017.

TELEPATHY Hit Up England With New Shows

Telephaty

Instrumental prog-sludge metallers  TELEPATHY have shows to announce, taking them up and down England, including a date with Raging Speedhorn starting a cold November weekender with Midlands-based blackened doomsters Conjurer.

The band have barely stopped touring following their headline European dates and stunning performance at Incubate, including shows with Sloath, Year Of No Light, Oathbreaker and Coilguns under their belt. New bassist Teddy James Driscoll has slotted in perfectly, and the band are steamrollering onwards at a rate of knots.

TELEPATHY’s music is a complex mix, at times post-metal, other times mathy and chaotic, and always sludge-powered. Their records have drawn praise from all quarters, especially last year’s 12 Areas (out on Devouter & Tartarus Records), which caught glowing reviews from Rock Sound, Heavy Blog Is Heavy, MetalRecusants and The Sludgelord among many others.

There’s nothing left to say except, to quote the old road dog Henry Rollins, get in the van!  The dates are as as follows:

Telepathy-poster

RIYL: The Ocean, early Mastodon & Baroness, Converge, Russian Circles

Praise for Telepathy:
“Since forming in 2011, Telepathy have been causing quite a stir with their poignant fusion of atmospheric, sludgy tones with progressive song structures and, of course, stonking great riffs.” – Terrorizer

“12 Areas then is a unique beast in the instrumental landscape of 2014: it serves as a whole, a complete journey that takes the listener through various shades of blue. It tackles the challenges of instrumental music, to be interesting and unique but not scattered, with an original approach.” Heavy Blog is Heavy

“A headbanger’s journey from start to finish.” – Rock Sound Magazine

“A unified album distinctly robed in sludge, but with a sound that sounds fresh and present. This is sludge for 2014.” – The Sleeping Shaman

They split in 2008 following the release of their last record “Before The Sea Was Built” and a subsequent tour of Japan.
