Five years since the release of Sonder, TesseracT have returned with their new album War Of Being, out September 15 via Kscope. The Dream has crash landed and ‘ex’ and ‘el’ awaken to find themselves in “The Strangeland,” facing a foe known simply as “Fear,” the two are separated and so begins the journey of War Of Being…
The album opens with the reverie shattering Natural Disaster, followed by the pendulum swing of Legion. That slingshots us into the herculean title track — the album’s 11-minute centerpiece that undulates with precision and power. When coupled with the beguiling melodies of The Grey, or the unshielded honesty of Burden, the band delivers its most impassioned release to date — an album to excite and inspire.
TesseracT bassist Amos Williams states, “War Of Being has been all-encompassing for us since late 2019. After I returned home from filming P O R T A L S, I found myself in such a deeply introspective headspace. The scale of work and reward from that project kind of set this up to be inevitable. We simply had to try and see how far we could take a concept album with TesseracT.”
Alongside the brand new album, the band will be embarking on a worldwide tour that will begin in 2023 running through to 2024 performing shows in throughout the U.S., Europe, the UK, Asia and Australia, with support from Intervals, Unprocessed, Alluvial, and The Callous Daoboys.
