Description
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. The Dolby Atmos mix was created by Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief).
