Info for War Of Being (Tour Edition)

TesseracT's 'War Of Being' was met with widespread acclaim upon its release in 2023, regarded by many as their strongest & most ambitious work to date. What followed was a significant rise in the band's stopping power, with sold-out worldwide touring, millions of streams & a die-hard fanbase to boot. Over the past year, TesseracT's rise from respected cult act to one of the biggest prog-metal bands in the world has been nothing short of extraordinary.

"An immersive & fantastic experience that exists, fittingly, deep within its own musical bubble" - CLASSIC ROCK UK

Now, 'War Of Being' receives a special Tour Edition release on the Kscope label to coincide with the 'War Of Being Part 2 Tour' - an extensive run of European shows kicking off in February 2025. The new edition includes 3 bonus tracks recorded live from TesseracT's headline set at Radar Festival 2024 (Manchester, UK) where they were joined on stage by Choir Noir's Kat Marsh.

"Not only TesseracT's most accomplished record to date, but it's one that adds greater extravagance, wonder & distinction" - PROG

Speaking on the new tour edition, TesseracT bassist Amos Williams said: 'It has been a wild adventure for TesseracT since the release of 'War Of Being' back in September 2023. We have travelled the world & experienced many career highlights during these last 12 months, or so. There's a sense of great fulfilment, but also a tinge of sadness as you know that the unique campaign that led into the release of 'War Of Being' has passed. So, it's truly awesome to be able to release a Tour Edition version, that as a bonus, includes live recordings from a very special headline show we performed in the summer of 2024 where we were joined on stage by the indomitable Choir Noir (featuring Kat Marsh/Cestra, whom many of you will know, that along with Producer Peter Miles, was part of the team that brought 'War Of Being' from demos to album).

Exploring this exciting side of ourselves & bringing the full realisation of the album production to stage, has given us a passion & a drive. One that we're looking forward to developing more & bringing to the stage as we begin the 'War Of Being' World Tour Part Two this coming January 2025 in Europe.'

"The virtuosity, intelligence & refinement of this reflective modern progressive metal make 'War Of Being' one of the best albums of the year & a great success for TesseracT." - ALBUM OF THE MONTH, ROCKHARD (FR)

TesseracT

TesseracT
began life as a solo project in a dark, cluttered room inhabited by Acle Kahney. With the initial idea to create music with no boundaries, except that it must move you and make you want to groove, embrace and enhance you; giving you what you think you want and then taking you somewhere totally unexpected. Like the namesake novel (though not connected) and ideas surrounding the tesseract, the band creates ripples of musical realities and unseen (or in this case unheard of) sonic dimensions.

Beginning in the virtual world of the studio in a box, by utilising the possibilities of modern technology, TesseracT are able to bring the dark and dense multi faceted sound of their recordings to the stage uncompromised and in full. Combining a highly energetic exciting sound with the symphony of audio elements has given TesseracT a reputation as outstanding and unbelievable act in the flesh.

The band is: Acle Kahney and James Montieth - Guitars; Abisola Obasanya - Vocals; Jay Postones -Drums; Amos Williams - Bass and vocals; and of course the ever growing rack of pcb's, leads and cpu's known perhaps ominously as HAAL. Since the formation of the live band, the music has evolved into a more visceral and entrancing being. Sung through the voices of each individual, it has a less mechanical vibe as is often the case with music from similar origin, and more of a human quality than you would expect. Like actors performing from a script the already expansive and unique parts are given a character and life that only musicians with passion can add.

The band as it is now formed just under a couple of years ago through meeting at gigs and keeping in touch with each other over the net.

This album contains no booklet.
