Info for War Of Being

With their fifth studio album War Of Being, TesseracT return with their most conceptually, dynamically and sonically complex work to date. The story revolves around an inter-dimensional journey that two characters (Ex and El) undertake in The Strangeland, a world that mirrors the socio-economic state of our own. During the one-hour running time, the band spoils their listeners with sprawling atmosphere, passionate vocals by Daniel Tompkins and heavy riffs on atomic bomb level. The band has long been an innovative entity and with War Of Being they prove that they have become masters of a truly unique sound.

The album opens with the dreamy “Natural Disaster”, followed by the buoyant “Legion”, which catapults us into the massive title track – the 11-minute centrepiece of the album, which takes full advantage of a Dolby Atmos mix with precision and power. Combined with the beguiling melodies of “The Grey” or the relentless honesty of “Burden”, the band delivers their most passionate release yet – an album that excites and inspires. Acle Kahney, Daniel Tompkins, Amos Williams, Jay Postones and James Monteith have truly created a phenomenal set of haunting, captivating sounds.

War Of Being was recorded at Middle Farm Studios in the UK. The album was co-produced and produced by the band and Peter Miles (Dodie, Sylosis, Architects) together with his long-time collaborator Katherine Marsh of Choir Noir (Bring Me The Horizon, Architects, Marillion). Randy Slaugh (Periphery, Architects, Devin Townsend) assisted the band with programming and producing, while Forrester Savell (Karnivool) handled production.

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.
