U.K. djentlemen TesseracT have just released the title track from their just-announced new album, War of Being. The band also dropped an epic new video for the 11-minute "War of Being," showcasing samurai-like beings fighting to the death on a post-apocalyptic battlefield.
Vocalist Daniel Tompkins says about the new single: "'War of Being' is a fight for acceptance, a battle of existence and a resistance against ego. 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."
Regarding the album, TesseracT bassist Amos Williams states, "War of Being has been all-encompassing for us since late 2019. After I returned home from filming P O R T A L S, I found myself in such a deeply introspective headspace. The scale of work and reward from that project kind of set this up to be inevitable. We simply had to try and see how far we could take a concept album with TesseracT."
"Within these songs the band has given life to the themes and ideas that are personified within the characters of The Strangeland story. It's certainly been a catharsis and a way for me to explore the internal dissonance."
TesseracT have also announced 2023 North American tour dates with Intervals and Alluvial. See those dates below and check out the video for "War of Being" above.
War of Being, the album, is due out September 15th via KScope and is available now for pre-order in a variety of formats. Revolver has an exclusive 2LP red vinyl variant that's limited to just 500 copies. Get yours from our shop.
