Tesseract - War Of Being [CD]

<p><strong>WELCOME TO THE 'WAR OF BEING', THE NEW ALBUM FROM THE BRITISH PROG-METAL PIONEERS TESSERACT</strong></p><p>. Since 2018's 'Sonder', TesseracT have risen to new heights across the globe, consistently smashing through glass ceilings & touring arenas with the likes of Bullet for My Valentine, Dream Theater & Gojira. All in addition to being established high-profile festival headliners themselves.</p><p>On their fifth studio album, 'War Of Being', TesseracT return with a career-high release that is their most conceptual, dynamic & sonically intricate (complex) to date. The story revolves around an inter-dimensional journey undertaken by two characters (Ex & 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 & atom bomb level heavy riffs. The band have long been an innovative entity & with 'War Of Being' prove they have become masters of a truly unique sound.</p><p>The album begins 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 & 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 & inspire. Acle Kahney, Daniel Tompkins, Amos Williams, Jay Postones & James Monteith truly have crafted a phenomenal set of immersive, absorbing sounds.</p><p>'War Of Being' was recorded at Middle Farm Studios in the UK.
