Since 2018’s Sonder, TesseracT have risen to new heights across the globe, consistently smashing through glass ceilings and touring arenas with the likes of Bullet for My Valentine, Dream Theater and Gojira. In addition to being established high-profile festival headliners themselves.
On their fifth studio album, War Of Being, TesseracT return with a career-high release that is their most conceptual, dynamic and sonically complex to date. The story revolves around an inter-dimensional journey undertaken by two characters (ex and el), within The Strangeland, a world made to reflect the socio-economic state of our own. Throughout its hour-long run time, the band treat listeners to sprawling atmospherics, impassioned vocal performances from Daniel Tompkins and atom bomb level heavy riffs. The band have long been an innovative entity and with War Of Being prove they have become masters of a truly unique sound.
Recorded at Middle Farm Studios in the UK, co-produced and engineered by the band and Peter Miles (Dodie, Sylosis, Architects) along with long-time collaborator Katherine Marsh of Choir Noir (Bring Me The Horizon, Architects, Marillion). Assisting with additional programming and production, the band were joined by Randy Slaugh (Periphery, Architects, Devin Townsend). With additional engineering by Forrester Savell (Karnivool).
War Of Being is TesseracT’s defining moment, one that will be remembered as the beginning of a new era for this forward-thinking, dynamic band
