TesseracT have detailed a new album. The English prog metal power will share War of Being on September 15 via Kscope.
Following 2018's Sonder, the nine-track War of Being follows two characters in the conceptual saga of "The Strangeland." As a synopsis explains, "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…"
Equally ambitious is the band's 11-minute, "feature length" video for the album's title track you can take in below, which intersperses performance footage with a duel between two futuristic warriors.
"'War of Being' is a fight for acceptance, a battle of existence and a resistance against ego," vocalist Daniel Tompkins shared of TesseracT's latest. "It's a struggle for control as we cut through the white noise of reality. It's the need to know and identify with oneself, to accept and understand what we stand for and who we are. There is an urgent need to 'Tear the mask away,' and reveal your true self."
TesseracT have also announced a world tour behind the effort, beginning this fall with a North American leg that features support from Intervals and Alluvial. The trek, which you can find the itinerary for below, features three shows in Canada.
TesseracT will first play Montreal's Corona Theatre on October 17, ahead of making stops at Toronto's Danforth Music Hall (October 19) and Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom (October 27). Tickets for the North American leg go on sale July 14 at 9 a.m. local time.
