UK prog-metal band TesseracT will be in Australia for a bunch of headline shows in May 2024. The five-date headline tour is set to take place nearly six years after the band’s previous Australian outing. The band, led by vocalist Daniel Tompkins, will perform shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
Although the tour is still ten months away, TesseracT will release their fifth album, War Of Being, in the interim. Due on Friday, 15th September via Kscope, War Of Being follows 2018’s Sonder.
TesseracT – ‘War Of Being’
The band released the album’s 11-minute title track earlier this week, along with a music video directed by Found Format Films. Tompkins described ‘War Of Being’ as “a fight for acceptance, a battle of existence and a resistance against ego.” He continued, “It’s a struggle for control as we cut through the white noise of reality.”
TesseracT recorded War Of Being at Middle Farm Studios in South Devon, UK. Peter Miles and Katherine Marsh (Choir Noir) co-produced the album with members of TesseracT. Randy Slaugh, who’s previously worked with Periphery and Architects, provided additional programming, while Karnivool’s go-to producer, Forrester Savell, pitched in with additional engineering.
