All in addition to being established high-profile festival headliners themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn their fifth studio album, War Of Being, TesseracT return with a career-high release that is their most conceptual, dynamic and sonically complex to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story revolves around an inter-dimensional journey undertaken by two characters (ex and el), within The Strangeland, a world made to reflect the socio-economic state of our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout its hour-long run time, the band treat listeners to sprawling atmospherics, impassioned vocal performances from Daniel Tompkins and atom bomb level heavy riffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band have long been an innovative entity and with War Of Being prove they have become masters of a truly unique sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWar Of Being was recorded at Middle Farm Studios in the UK. The record was co-produced and engineered by the band and Peter Miles (Dodie, Sylosis, Architects) along with his long-time collaborator Katherine Marsh of Choir Noir (Bring Me The Horizon, Architects, Marillion).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssisting with additional programming and production, the band were joined by Randy Slaugh (Periphery, Architects, Devin Townsend), with additional engineering by Forrester Savell (Karnivool).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWar Of Being is TesseracT’s defining moment, an album that will be remembered as the beginning of a new era for this forward-thinking, dynamic band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition of the album is presented on double black vinyl with a gatefold sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSIDE A\u003cbr\u003e1.
