War Of Being (LP)

Five years since the release of Sonder, TesseracT have returned with their new album. 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 centrepiece that undulates with precision and power. When coupled with the beguiling melodies of 'The Grey', or the unshielded honesty of 'Burden', the band deliver their most impassioned release to date - an album to excite and inspire. Acle Kahney, Daniel Tompkins, Amos Williams, Jay Postones, and James Monteith truly have crafted a phenomenal set of immersive, absorbing sounds.

'War Of Being' was recorded at Middle Farm Studios in the United Kingdom with Peter Miles (Architects/Sylosis/Dodie) co-producing with the band alongside 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). The artwork, which features characters 'ex' and 'el' was created in collaboration between AI and human as a means to extend the concept into its presentation.
