Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC, Canada deathcore juggernaut Discovery Through Torment has unleashed their new music video “Arcane Inception”, offering fans a brutal glimpse into their upcoming EP “Telesynthetic Rebirth,” dropping December 5th.
The video showcases the band’s evolved sound, dense, cinematic, and relentlessly heavy, while introducing the EP’s sci-fi narrative of divine collapse, human abduction, and engineered genocide. It’s also the first release featuring new vocalist Alex Desroches, whose arrival marks a shift toward more immersive, fictional lyricism and a sharpened live presence.

“Telesynthetic Rebirth” is a five-track concept EP that blends slam brutality with blackened deathcore atmosphere, following a deliberate pattern of epic-heavy-epic-heavy-epic. Produced by Maxime Lacroix (House of Gain Studio), the record is layered with synths, alien textures, and suffocating riffs, all crafted to feel like a descent into a hostile, otherworldly invasion.
“Telesynthetic Rebirth” is a tightly constructed five-track concept EP that weaves a dark, cinematic tale of collapse, transformation, and conquest. It opens with “Dethronement,” a sweeping introduction that heralds the fall of the Mangled God, clearing the way for a more menacing force to rise. “Arcane Inception” follows with crushing intensity and dense riffing, revealing the new entity’s plan to abduct and manipulate the “malleable respondents.” At the center lies “Veil Unfurling,” a cold and atmospheric track shaped by medical jargon and inspired by vocalist Alex’s binge of House M.D., portraying the surgical transformation of captives into telepathic servants. “Lesions” delivers the most unrelenting assault, pairing rapid-fire vocals with relentless pacing to warn the remaining humans of their impending doom. The EP concludes with “First Encounter Assault Regiment,” a towering finale that unleashes the full scope of the genocidal campaign, ending on a cliffhanger that teases a possible regime reversal. Fans of the F.E.A.R. video game series will also find hidden tributes woven into the EP, including a clever nod in the final track’s title and a subtle quote from Paxton Fettel embedded in “Veil Unfurling.”
“On this EP, we took the time to experiment a lot and find the right balance between sounding fresh and staying true to our sound. It’s very dark and heavy, and explores new territory for us, especially the sci-fi atmosphere. You’ll still hear our classic tropes, but there are plenty of surprises that feel right at home. We are very proud of this one. It hits HARD,” adds the band.
Discovery Through Torment continues to carve its place in the Canadian underground metal scene with a DIY ethos, commanding live shows, and a sound that’s brutal, dark, sci-fi, groovy, and guttural. For fans of Aversions Crown, Rings of Saturn, and Mental Cruelty, “Telesynthetic Rebirth” is a must-listen.
“Telesynthetic Rebirth” drops December 5th, 2025, on all major platforms.

“Discovery Through Torment ont ouvert la soirée avec leur interprétation de pièce Slam/Deathcore. On a été servie avec des Breakdowns crasseux et des grooves de cavernes. Musiciens talentueux et un chanteur qui contrôle très bien les tonalités de haut à très gras. En fait, c’est bien Alex Desroches qui est aussi chanteur de Ignominy. Leur setlist est disponible sur Spotify
Discovery Through Torment opened the evening with their rendition of slam/deathcore tracks. We were treated to grimy breakdowns and cavern grooves. Talented musicians and a singer who masters the tones from high to very fat. In fact, it’s Alex Desroches who is also the singer of Ignominy. Their setlist is available on Spotify” – Ondes Chocs (Kaboom Fest @ Foufounes Électriques, Mtl – September 29 and 30, 2023)
