A 2CD ’tour edition’ of TesseracT’s acclaimed 2023 release War Of Being, featuring two digipaks in a slipcase (including 3 bonus tracks recorded live at Radar Festival in July 2024).

 

The album is regarded by many as the band's strongest and most ambitious work. Its release was followed by sold-out worldwide touring, millions of streams and an increase in its die-hard fanbase. 

 

Over the past year, TesseracT’s rise from respected cult act to one of the biggest prog-metal bands in the world has been nothing short of extraordinary.

 

“An immersive and fantastic experience that exists, fittingly, deep within its own musical bubble.” - Classic Rock

 

Speaking about the tour edition, TesseracT bassist Amos Williams said:

 

'It has been a wild adventure for TesseracT since the release of War Of Being back in September 2023. We have travelled the world and experienced many career highlights during these last 12 months, or so. There's a sense of great fulfilment, but also a tinge of sadness as you know that the unique campaign that led into the release of War Of Being has passed. So, it's truly awesome to be able to release a Tour Edition version, that as a bonus, includes live recordings from a very special headline show we performed in the summer of 2024 where we were joined on stage by the indomitable Choir Noir (featuring Kat Marsh/Cestra, whom many of you will know, that along with Producer Peter Miles, was part of the team that brought War Of Being from demos to album).

 

Exploring this exciting side of ourselves, and bringing the full realisation of the album production to stage, has given us a passion and a drive. One that we're looking forward to developing more and bringing to the stage as we begin the War Of Being World Tour Part Two this coming January 2025 in Europe.'

 

“The virtuosity, intelligence, and refinement of this reflective modern progressive metal make War of Being one of the best albums of the year, and a great success for TesseracT.” - Rockhard (France)
