Formed in 2003, TesseracT is rightly and widely regarded as a pioneer. Since dazzling the world with their debut album One in 2011, they have spearheaded a uniquely adventurous and creative movement that has expanded metal’s vocabulary beyond all measure. From the majestic complexities of One and the bittersweet, melodic crunch of 2013’s Altered State, to the experimental sheen of Polaris and the ruthlessly focused tech-trip of 2018’s Sonder, TesseracT have consistently stood apart from the competition, while forging a musical and lyrical world that is theirs alone. Meanwhile, they have established themselves as a live band of great power, with countless acclaimed shows and festival appearances notched up across several continents.

Fast forward to 2023: Daniel Tompkins (vocals), Acle Kahney (guitar), James Monteith (guitar), Amos Williams (bass) and Jay Postones (drums) have completed work on their fifth full-length album. TesseracT is back, armed with a collection of mesmerising and idiosyncratic new music.

“I think we realised we needed to do something different this time, It’s been five years since Sonder, and we wanted to mix it up and try something new.” – Daniel Tompkins

War Of Being is a brave and challenging concept album, in true prog tradition. Just as the band’s music has evolved tenfold over the last few years, so has their thematic ambition. A tangled web of personality traits, traumatic events and surreal, off-kilter premonitions, War Of Being is TesseracT’s most detailed and demanding record yet, but also their most profoundly satisfying and complete.

Due to be preceded by the release of its colossal title track, War Of Being is the kind of record that every band wants to make. Simultaneously definitive and ground-breaking, it provides a telling snapshot of a band at the height of their powers, in thrall to the creative process and hell-bent on shattering boundaries along the way.

“We’re a modest progressive metal band, but we’ve got big ambitions and we always have. We always strive to get there, and it’s a struggle, but we haven’t lost the enthusiasm for it. We want bigger and better things all the time. This is just the start of it.”
