Portals Presents: Telepathy, Flail & more TBA

Telepathy have earned a reputation as one of the most captivating live forces in instrumental metal, with past performances at Roadburn Festival, Arctangent, Soulcrusher, Dunk! Festival, and A Colossal Weekend. Their dynamic and immersive shows have seen them tour across the UK and Europe as special guests to Solstafir, Bongripper, and Oranssi Pazuzu.   Now, with their widely acclaimed new album Transmissions (Pelagic Records)-described as "a breathless wonder" (Prog Magazine), "easily their most accomplished work" (Metal Hammer UK), and "the pinnacle of their career so far" (Veil of Sound)-the band are taking the next evolution of their live show on the road throughout 2026.   FFO: Tool, Russian Circles, Maybeshewill   Flail are a new five-piece from London. Taking influences from post-rock, doomgaze, post-hardcore, and straight-up rock, Flail are embarking on their first shows and recordings. Think soaring vocals over slowly-building lurches between dead quiet and massive walls of sound.   FFO: Cave In, Brutus, Mogwai   Additional support TBA (and trust us, they're a doozy!)
