PRESS RELEASE:
Discovery Through Torment
Telesynthetic Rebirth - Out Dec 5th
Self Release
5 December 2025
Known for their brutal fusion of slam, blackened deathcore, and sci-fi-infused storytelling, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC, Canada's rising force, Discovery Through Torment, has carved a distinct niche in Canada’s underground metal scene and will be unleashing their new EP ""Telesynthetic Rebirth" on December 5th, 2025, to follow their previous albums The Mangled God (2022) and Divine in Blood (2020).
"Telesynthetic Rebirth" is a concept-driven EP that plays out like a descent into divine collapse and engineered genocide. The lyrics follow a fictional, video game-inspired narrative where a fallen deity gives way to a new force that abducts humans, reshapes them into telepathic killing machines, and unleashes them in a genocidal conquest of Earth. Musically, the EP alternates between towering, atmospheric tracks and suffocating heaviness, creating a dynamic listening experience that’s both brutal and immersive.
For fans of Abominable Putridity, Carnifex, Mental Cruelty, Lorna Shore.

More Info:
"Telesynthetic Rebirth" launches with “Dethronement,” a sweeping and cinematic opener that heralds the downfall of the Mangled God, a brutal, tyrannical figure defined by torture and violence. This track sets the EP’s epic tone, which pulses throughout the release. The intensity escalates with “Arcane Inception,” a relentlessly heavy and aggressive piece that introduces the rise of a new force, one that begins abducting humanity by targeting the most impressionable, dubbed “malleable respondents.” The third track, “Veil Unfurling,” shifts back into atmospheric territory, pairing a soaring chorus with lyrics laced in clinical, medical-inspired language that romanticize the transformation of captives into telepathic servants. “Lesions” then delivers the EP’s most brutal blow, with rapid-fire vocals and a twisted chorus that warns the remaining humans of their impending doom. The closing track, “First Encounter Assault Regiment,” returns to epic scale, unleashing the full scope of the genocidal plan as telepathic legions march forward. Ending on a cliffhanger, the lyrics hint at a possible regime reversal, leaving the narrative open for future exploration.
The EP also includes two subtle nods to the original F.E.A.R. video game: the final track’s title riffs on the game’s acronym, while “Veil Unfurling” features a hidden line from Paxton Fettel. Interestingly, the lyrics for “Veil Unfurling” were penned during a binge of House M.D., lending them a cold, clinical edge. Most of the synth work was crafted by guitarist Sam in his pyjamas, experimenting with Native Instruments to build the EP’s eerie soundscapes. Instrument tracking was completed in just four days, while vocals were recorded externally and independently to allow for greater precision and emotional depth.
"Telesynthetic Rebirth" follows the band’s acclaimed releases "Divine in Blood" (2020) and "The Mangled God" (2022), which earned them recognition for their uncompromising heaviness and thematic depth. With members known from acts like Deadwood, Fall of Stasis, and Ignominy, Discovery Through Torment brings a wealth of experience and intensity to both studio and stage.
The EP’s artwork, drenched in ominous reds and desolate landscapes, mirrors the sonic and lyrical themes, hinting at the origins of the lone figure at its center and the chaos to come.
Fans of Abominable Putridity, Carnifex, Mental Cruelty, and Lorna Shore will find much to devour in this release. Raw, guttural, and groovy, "Telesynthetic Rebirth" promises a listening experience that’s as devastating in a full spin as it is in a playlist shuffle.
