TesseracT will return to North America for a healthy batch of tour dates slated for later this year. The band has tapped The Contortionist as main support along with Erra, and Skyharbor.

"Five years ago we bundled ourselves in to a van and set off on our debut North American tour," says bassist Amos Williams. "It was not only our North American debut but also our first major tour, really."

Dates will kick off on November 2nd at the Theater for Living Arts in Philadelphia and run coast to coast making a few stops in Canada before wrapping things up at Irving Plaza in New York City on December 7th. Tickets will go on sale Friday, August 21st at 10 AM, local time. Fans can visit the band's official website for ticket info. VIP upgrades including band meet and greet options are available for all shows. For more info on that, click here .

"We're beyond excited to announce that we're touring with TesseracT," says The Contortionist vocalist Mike Lessard. "They're a band we've always wanted to tour with, so it will be nice to share the road with them finally. This tour is a must see for any progressive fan!"

Williams comments again on that first North American run, where they supported Devin Townsend, "We were lucky enough to be supporting the incredible DTP, from whom we learned how to project and perform. It was an experience that none of us will ever forget. Everything about it was intense, from the traveling in a tiny van, or squeezing the whole band into a single Motel 6 room, through to the stunning crowds, and wonderful friends we made. So, a little over 5 years later it is an awesome feeling to return to the US and Canada to headline a tour with that same line up that traveled all the miles, and worked so hard to get TesseracT to where it is today."

Tour dates:

November 2 - Philadelphia, PA - TLA 3 - Boston, MA - Paradise Rock Club 4 - Montreal, QC - Café Campus 6 - Toronto, ON - The Phoenix Theater 7 - Pittsburgh, PA - Mr. Smalls 8 - Chicago, IL - Bottom Lounge 9 - Minneapolis, MN - Cabooze 11 - Winnipeg, MB - WECC 12 - Saskatoon, SK - O'Briens 13 - Edmonton, AB - Starlite Room 14 - Calgary, AB - Dickens 16 - Vancouver, BC - Rickshaw Theatre 17 - Portland, OR - Hawthorne 18 - Seattle, WA - Chop Suey 20 - San Francisco, CA - DNA Lounge 21 - Anaheim, CA - House of Blues 23 - San Diego, CA - House of Blues 24 - Los Angeles, CA - Troubadour 25 - Phoenix, AZ - Club Red 27 - Salt Lake City, UT - Complex Live 28 - Denver, CO - Summit Music Hall 29 - Albq, NM - Sunshine Theatre

On August 21st, Century Media Records will reissue the classic 2011 debut album by UK prog-metal band, TesseracT, on vinyl. The album’s original vinyl version released in 2012 sold out long ago, these days achieves prices beyond 100 Euro and due to the constant high demand, a reissue was long overdue.

The album’s 2015 edition widely resembles the original with its partial glossy printed cover yet comes on a single 180g vinyl LP and trades in the previously instrumental bonus CD for the full regular album to not spoil the exclusivity of the first press.

Tracklisting:

Side 1 “Lament” “Nascent” “Sunrise” “April” “Eden”

Side 2 - Concealing Fate “Acceptance” “Deception” “The Impossible” “Perfection” “Epiphany” “Origin”

CD “Lament” “Nascent” “Acceptance” - Concealing Fate Part One “Deception” - Concealing Fate Part Two “The Impossible” - Concealing Fate Part Three “Perfection” - Concealing Fate Part Four “Epiphany” - Concealing Fate Part Five “Origin” - Concealing Fate Part Six “Sunrise” “April” “Eden”

“Nascent” video:

“One” will be released in the following vinyl colours & limitations:

- black LP+CD – not limited, available worldwide - clear LP+CD – limited to 100 copies; CMDistro.com (EU) exclusive! - blue LP+CD – limited to 800 copies; distributed via RED Music in North America - red LP+CD – limited to 200 copies; US exclusive

TesseracT  have announced an all new LP titled Polaris, due out September 18th via their UK label home Kscope and a partnership with eOne Music in North America. Ahead of the release, the band are giving fans worldwide a chance to hear a new album track “Messenger.” The single is available for iTunes purchase and as an instant gratification track for those who pre order the album. Vocalist Dan Tompkins comments on the track:  

"The concept of our new album, Polaris is simple; it is about the transient nature of universal truth. There is no such thing as an absolute fixed human concept that will forever be the truth. Perhaps that is a message most of us can't or don't want to listen to but 'Messenger' highlights an ever growing awakening from the onslaught of the social conditioning we’re exposed to everyday from the media. The truth constantly obscured and the public subdued by 'Casting fear into doubt.'"

"TesseracT has been through a roller coaster of a ride since our first EP," says the band. "We seemed to always have been filling the holes in our ship's hull to stop this ship from sinking, as we raced around the world time and time again."

The new LP will followup to the Altered State LP that was released in 2013. The new album will be the band’s third studio album and first for Kscope and eOne.

“Polaris, is a different scenario. The first chance for us as a group to stop and take stock of what we are right now, to explore a TesseracT of melody, dynamics, and singular focus. For the first time, too, we feel free from the bounds of genre specific expectations."

“Dystopia” “Hexes” “Survival” “Tourniquet” “Utopia” “Phoenix” “Messenger” “Cages” “Seven Names”

Over the course of the last six years, TesseracT have been at the forefront of the ever-evolving metal scene. Originally formed as a studio project by guitarist Acle Kahney, TesseracT immediately eschewed all well-established notions of what metal should sound like and swiftly became a unique and daring entity. Acle had recruited a line-up worthy of his groundbreaking compositions and the band embarked upon a quest to inject some originality and excitement back into an often myopic and lazy British metal scene. The longstanding line up of drummer Jay Postones, guitarist James Monteith, bassist Amos Williams have recently welcomed back vocalist Dan Tompkins, whose first show back with the band was on the main stage at last year’s UK Sonisphere Festival.

The debut album One received widespread critical acclaim, not least due to the album’s staggering six-part centerpiece "Concealing Fate”, which brilliantly showcased the band’s pioneering sonic approach and unstoppable arsenal of off-kilter riffs, soaring melodies and disorientating atmospherics. The primarily acoustic Perspective EP emerged in May 2012 to an effusive response from critics and fans alike and shortly after, their status as progressive metal’s most fascinating new creative force was very publicly celebrated when TesseracT picked up the Best New Band trophy at 2012’s inaugural Progressive Music Awards in London. Not wasting any time the band released their second album Altered State in early 2013 again to worldwide media acclaim.

Having found a new creative energy after reuniting Tompkins, the highly anticipated new opus will be an evolution from Altered State. Fans can expect more experimentation with sounds and tones, and deeper exploration into the core attributes that define TesseracT’s trademark sound.

Subtronics Tesseract Tour

Bringing the Tesseract to Life After his debut album, FRACTALS , dropped in 2022 and explored the geometric concept of literal fractals, electronic DJ Subtronics most recently released TESSERACT . His latest album, tour, and stage/vessel for world-building, he captures the sounds of those unfathomable phenomena. His sonic portal? The tesseract—a hypercube concept wherein each side peels back and reveals another cube, identical yet infinitesimally different. The four-dimensional analog of a cube.

Larry Barcello of Brass City Productions Inc., and Production Manager for the tour points out, “I’d been aware of Jesse [Kardon; stage name Subtronics] for quite some time. He’s been pretty prolific over the past couple of years with a steady trajectory in his fan base. Roughly over a year ago is when I did my first show with him. Max Goessing, our Tour Director, is a longtime friend and colleague and is one of the principals at Center Stage Industries,” continues Barcello. “Conor Gray is our Tour Manager, and Elle Matthews is our Stage Manager. Specifically for this tour and in general with my touring team, I do have a core group of individuals that I turn to. I have Dave “Rigger Dave” Ardale, as our Head Rigger. I’ve been working with Dave for a good while. Our Video Crew Chief, Steven Calley, and I have been working together for over a decade. We’re putting this 67-point show up in roughly four hours and it’s coming down in approximately two.”

The Design Direction For the production design Barcello reached out to Erik Mahowald of Bending Lite Productions. As a designer and LD, Mahowald worked for years with acts like Tiësto and Dillon Francis. “We really found our sweet spot in the dance music world,”  Mahowald comments. Bending Lite had done several one-off productions of independent designs for specific rooms for Subtronics, which led to the invitation by Barcello to do an entire tour.

Mahowald says, “Larry, who’s a good friend of mine and someone I’ve built many rigs with over the past six or seven years called me up, saying he’d love to have us involved in this show and introduced me to the camp. They had made it pretty clear that they wanted something very special. They weren’t scared of doing something a little bit abstract, which is always music to my ears as a designer.”

Barcello points out, “Erik is our Creative Director and Lighting Designer. He was supposed to be the designer at first, but quickly became the guy with that global perspective of what Jesse [Subtronics] wanted and then implemented that into a cohesive visual with Spencer Michaels, our Lighting Director; and Jake Keenan, our Touring Video Engineer. I can’t say enough good things about Erik. I feel Erik is one of the best designers in the industry.”

Everybody was aware they didn’t want that typical wall of sensory overload common to EDM. “We wanted to create moments, with finesse,” continues Barcello. “That aesthetic was driven a lot from Jesse’s take on things as well. Don’t get me wrong, EDM thrives on that energetic frenzy. We set out to build a show that is a lot sexier, looks a lot more purposeful, that lends a more cohesive experience. And Jesse definitely has a story to tell here. He has some very clear and defined ideas. He has a direct influence on what he would like the show to look like. Jesse is very trusting in his design team and leaves the minutia or finer details up to them. This particular one, TESSERACT , he’s telling a very purposeful story line that has chapter markers.”

Layering the Screens “I always look at what the artist has for assets internally to help outline the budget,” says Mahowald of his design process. “We knew going in content played such a special part in the show that we didn’t want to compromise that. Subtronics Art and Content Director Ray Elemento had a wealth of imagery for us to work with. So, a big upstage video wall was the start point.” Mahowald then asked Subtronics to give him some key words that were special to him. He threw back at Mahowald things like “cosmic, ethereal, dimensional, quantum. He spoke of a very dimensional design, darkness, lots of negative space. A lot of his content and reference photos exhibited single light source lasers and the dark film noir sense of shadows. In all our conversations he kept bringing up dimensionality.”

The designer started playing with dimensional rigs which would hang in front of the video wall, in the sight lines. “One of the issues I was having was finding a way to make it so the content would still play well in the shadow of the six squares. Which led me to the ROE Vanish 8T V2 tiles.”

Merging early Hollywood silent films with the latest video technology, the chapter markers are presented as graphic titles on the upstage LED screen. A succession of six, custom-fabricated squares by Gallagher Staging are hung in front of that screen. Ascending in size from 3×3 meters to 8×8 meters, these squares serve multiple platforms in the show, at times creating the ‘portal’ leading into the tesseract and other dimensions graphically exposed on the upstage LED screen. At other times Video Engineer Keenan sends content to them, evoking a three-dimensional aspect to the screen, illuminating a unique perspective.

The squares are hung from an overhead truss grid which nestles the rest of the lighting system. Attached to the façade of these squares are 132 Martin VDO Fatron 20’s. Keenan is the one who facilitates the content and implements it. He explains, “When I sat down with Ray [Elemento], I told him that I wanted to timecode as much as I could in the video; it allows the show to hit properly every single time. You know when things are going to react, you know when the video is going to come in, when it’s going to black out. And it leaves the ability for Spencer, our Lighting Director to let the lasers have their moments as well. That’s a big aspect of this: creating these moments for everyone. Jesse definitely allowed me to be creative, which I appreciate a lot.”

Mixing Lighting, Video, and Lasers “Video does not have to be present every second of the show,” Keenan continues. “I’ve been doing this enough to know that doesn’t need to be the case; turning off video allows for black moments where lighting can shine, lasers can shine; it allows the other elements to breathe. And, you know, vice versa. Lasers come off and it’s just video and it allows the content to show and let the rest of the lights and lasers breathe. I think playing off each other that way allows people’s eyes to adjust and relax. Both Larry and Jesse were after those created moments. They’re like, ‘let’s just let this ride and let lights go dark and the visuals play.”

Keenan runs everything in Resolume. Instead of having clips he’s created a timeline-based show. The squares introduce the audience into the different universes and into the Tesseract world, so to speak. “With Resolume there’s this cool thing in Resident Fixture Editor where you can add light fixtures to Resolume instead of just a video wall. That way you can pixel map content to fixtures. I talked to Spencer before we got into pre-viz and the workflow—that I’ve done in the past—is I’ll make a pixel map, basically create the squares themselves in Resolume and then send him all that DMX data. Then he can control when it goes to the squares, and I have control; or when he has control and was able to just set that up in his cue stacks. I have the ability to send what is happening on the video wall to the squares themselves.”

Previz and Programming Mahowald, Keenan and Michaels spent 10 days of pre-viz at the Bending Lite Studio in Denver. After which, Mahowald continued onto rehearsals for seven days at the Armory in Minneapolis, which is also where the first show was. “I do 30 or more large scale festival designs a year, and more often than not EDM demands bright, full-on 600 lights moving all the time,” describes Mahowald. “With the TESSERACT Tour I pushed the programmers to go to the dark side. Use the negative space. This helped isolate and create the moments Jesse wanted.”

Mahowald continues, “Spencer is a great programmer and has a very unique way of timecoding his shows. He wanted to move over to the MA3 for this tour, which was great because his programming on the MA3 is incredible. Also, the board has a really fantastic workflow. You know, from my perspective of being a designer, he was a very fast programmer. He was very, very efficient in how he used his system. And of course, when I get to work with someone like Spencer and Jake, it was terrific. Both were really easy to work with.”

Lighting Director Michaels had been working with Subtronics since the FRACTAL Tour in 2022 and was excited to collaborate when the design duties were offered to Mahowald. “After working with Erik, I realized how much fun it is to work with him, how talented he is, and what an amazing designer he is. He brings the design to life and gives me an amazing playground to work in and do what I love doing, which is programming. I got to spend all my energy and efforts in the programming side rather than splitting my efforts trying to design, program it, and run it.”

Key Equipment Choices “Jesse has full trust in myself and Jake and the Visual Team,” Michaels continues. “Specifically with lighting and lasers he has a lot of trust in me. I’m a big fan of hybrid fixtures. Something that has a tight beam and a big gobo wash, all in the same fixture. We’re using the Martin Axiom as our hybrid fixture. For the strobe, we’re using the [GLP] JDC1. It’s a classic workhorse. We use it in the 68-channel mode, so we have the full flexibility with individual pixels and big strobe hits. We use the Robe Forte as a key light, which is great because I can shutter in a nice sculpted look on Jesse. Then we have some [TMB] Solaris Flares under the platform grate to underlight him.”

In terms of SFX, there are six flame units that get used quite a bit during the show. “We always get quite a fun reaction from the crowd with those!” laughs Michaels. “We have Elle Matthews, our stage manager, either calling or operating the SFX console. I have DMX control of the smoke and haze machines. I’m constantly riding the levels to make sure that we’re not smoking up the video wall. The lasers still look impactful. The lighting still looks impactful. I would just like to say how pleasant it has been to work with these very talented folks; all the same mindset, all trying to do their best to get the show looking its best. And again, working with Jesse is always a pleasure.”

Vendor and Crew Support Barcello turned to LMG to provide full production for the TESSERACT Tour. “Their reputation, staff, and they have a rehearsal space in Vegas where we could hang the production made them the obvious choice,” Barcello notes. “The fact LMG has a rehearsal studio at that depot was of immense help.”

“You know, you would think just building some squares is pretty simple,” laughs Barcello. “It’s really not at all, considering the fact that we have to attach these very specific fixtures that have very specific connection points. The [Martin] Fatron comes in 1m and 2m sections. We had to methodically and specifically fabricate these two-inch square pieces to avoid any potential rolling on those fixtures as you’re building it and flying it out. We have roughly (300) 2” squares, so Gallagher provided clamps that we use instead of the Fatron accessories. Jimmy Russo and the Gallagher guys did a good job,” continues Barcello. “We were operating on a tight timeline and it all kind of worked out because Gallagher now has a fabrication shop based out of Las Vegas and that’s where LMG pulled the show.”

Barcello also states, “I really can’t express enough praise for our road crew. Our video crew does the job of four people. The wall is 55’ wide and 34’ tall. We’ve built this in as little as 26 minutes, and the fastest that we’ve broken it down is 14 minutes. Our touring crew are all absolute beasts as well as some of the nicest and most genuine people in the world. Our camp is really big on treating everyone with respect and dignity, from the stagehands we work with on a daily basis to the local venue staff that help us organize living on the road. We’re all stagehands when you get down to it; that’s how most of us started in this business.”

Mahowald concludes, “It was a challenging build. It is really awesome when you nail it. This one was one of those ones where it really just came together, and the concept translated into the real world very, very well.”

A VENDOR VIEW with LMG

LMG was the lighting and video vendor for the Subtronics Tesseract Tour 2024, with Kevin Mass, and Max Tuchman as the LMG technical project managers supporting the production. LMG Account Exec Karol Luczkiewicz discussed with PLSN why LMG are uniquely positioned to be the vendor for Subtronics.

“LMG is a full service production company; one stop shopping at its best, and for   Subtronics we provided a 360 ⁰ solution. Media servers, LED wall, lighting, rigging, and audio were prepped and launched from our Las Vegas facility,” says Luczkiewicz .  

Implementing the design of six, square outlined structures was the first hurdle in pulling the show together. The centerpiece of the show, designer Erik Mahowald of bendinglite had come up with the concept. “Erik, the   lighting/ production designer, had specced these six custom square frames ranging from 3 meters square to 8 meters square. There’s a lot of three-dimensional content that is deployed on this show,” continues Luczkiewicz.  

Positioned from the downstage edge to just in front of the upstage LED wall,   which is comprised of 153   ROE Visual Vanish panels, they hung from an overhead truss grid that nestled the rest of the lighting system. Attached to the façade of each square via custom cheeseboroughs were 132 Martin VDO Fatron 20’s that are able to process and display the video content as well as provide illumination.

“We partnered with Gallagher Staging in the fabrication process of bringing these video squares to life,” adds   Luczkiewicz. “ They also play a huge part in the story arc Subtronics   creates as he brings the audience through portals into the tesseract.”

LMG had   had worked with production manager Larry Barcello last year when he was   the Tour Director for DJ Duo Two Friends on a small club/amphitheater summer tour in 2023. He used LMG again for   lighting and video on a one off event   for Subtronics in Vegas at the end of 2023. This laid the groundwork for Barcello again reaching out- this time for the entire production package.

“I think,” continues Luczkiewicz, “Larry was well aware of our extensive technical support team for providing successful support on   those previous projects. That and the fact they were looking to deploy some highly customized structure led him to turn to us for solutions on this tour. Kevin Mass and Max Tuchman, our technical project managers for the tour did a lot of work   helping deal with any issues that came up with networking and resolving any rigging issues. Kevin was   the key player and the key drafter for all of the rigging, production overlays, and all the Vectorworks drawings. Max went on to rehearsals onsite to provide immediate support if needed,” Luczkiewicz says.

LMG Touring provided the Audio lead and systems engineer. The rest were from Barcellos staff. “I think our ability to have experienced knowledgeable people onsite during rehearsals; is a major factor as to why LMG is successful,” notes Luczkiewicz. I also believe space was the biggest key player   in our selection as the vendor. We were able to hang the entire rig , including the LED wall and the custom squares in our Vegas facility so it was “show ready” when it went in the truck heading for rehearsal at the Armory in Minneapolis. Another factor in our favor is we are a one stop, full production shop. That means one phone call to one person; me. They’re not hunting down different people for an answer. I’m the one source of contact and I in turn do the legwork to solve any issues. That facilitates a very streamlined system.”

Once the tour is out the door, LMG maintains a constant flow of checking in on the tour. “I check in with Larry every few days after every couple shows just to kind of see if they need a care package if they’re doing OK out there,” says

I’m very impressed with Larry . It was a big relief to have someone as organized and as thorough as Larry is. All too often we don’t hear a word until a week or so before something goes out the door. Larry was on top of this all the way . The crew he has out there are equally as efficient. He has assembled a very diligent, very strong, and experienced   production crew,” concludes Luczkiewicz.

TesseracT announce new album War Of Being and world tour

Huge Tessaract news! The prog-metallers have announced new album War Of Being, released the record’s title-track, and announced a big ol’ world tour…

TesseracT have announced their first new album since 2018’s Sonder.

Due out on September 15 via Kscope, the record is called War Of Being, and it’ll come as no surprise that it’s got a pretty ambitious backstory…

“War Of Being has been all-encompassing for us since late 2019,” explains bassist Amos Williams. “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.”

Get a glimpse at everything Amos is alluding to with the 11-minute video for the title-track below…

Catch TesseracT at the following UK dates:

February 2023

20 Nottingham Rock City 21 Birmingham O2 Institute 22 Bristol O2 Academy 23 London O2 Forum Kentish Town 24 Manchester O2 Ritz 25 Glasgow SWG 3 Studio Warehouse 27 Dublin The Academy

‘Legion’, is proof that despite being able to create songs that are larger than life, TesseracT ensure that the human element of a genre so often devoid of emotion remains strong. Musically it showcases the versatility and ability of Daniel Tompkins’ effortless range and power.

Regarding the track, Daniel Tompkins had the following to say:

“Conceptually, Legion sets the scene by introducing 'Fear' and its various cunning forms .” Says Tompkins “Fear binds and restricts us from unlocking truth and obscures the paths that lay ahead in a deliberate attempt to skew our vision.  From the perspective of our two main characters (Ex and El), Legion sees Fear tearing the fabric of their lives apart, as they experience their world crumble whilst dealing with the chaos and confusion surrounding them. The music video focusses on Ex's experience of the same chaos, taking hold of The Dream as it crashes on 'The Strangeland' - The introduction to the story of the War Of Being.”

The video, Directed by Richard Oakes (Dark Fable Media) depicts the opening scene for the concept behind the ‘War Of Being’, written by Amos Williams. Ex (played by Dan Tompkins) gives an intense and emotional performance as things start to go wrong aboard ‘The Dream’, before crashing on ‘The Strangeland’.

“… one of the best albums of the year” – Album of The Month - Rock Hard FR

“Bon voyage to The Strangeland” – 4/5 – URN

“…a turning point” – 87/100 – Rumore

  “exudes an almost beguilingly beautiful and monumental atmosphere.”- Metal Hammer DE

"...the band's most dynamic, varied, complex and at the same time most accessible... eclipsed

“This band’s quintessential release – not to mention a frontrunner for metal album of the year.”- 9/10 - Metal Hammer

“…not only TesseracT’s most accomplished record to date, but it’s one that adds greater extravagance wonder and distinction” – PROG

‘The Grey’ builds on signature grooves that undulate in TesseracT’s sound flanked by polyrhythmic rhythms tied together by the band’s iconic melodies. It’s yet another example of the multi-faceted appeal of their sound and proves that they can craft immediate and affecting tracks just as masterfully as their epic 11 minutes opuses.

Regarding the track, Amos Williams had the following to say:

The Grey explores the story and character within the Strangeland of the same name. A character who has suppressed their own voice to the point that they have blended into the shadows, their story lost amongst the white noise of the world. Through the song we experience their journey as they wrestle with their frustration and sorrow at how they have ended up this way.  

It's a powerful, energetic piece that pushes each member of TesseracT to a next level of musicianship and expression. And continues to shine a light upon the diversity that can be expected from War Of Being. 

Alongside the release of the single is a fully functional, immersive videogame titled ‘War Of Being’. Launched on August 11 th , the user can enter the world of the album bridging the gap between listening and experience to create a living, breathing concept that brings you closer to the world of TesseracT than ever before.

In celebration of the early access game, the band have made a visualiser for the single which incorporates areas seen in the game alongside the track itself and was created by Amos Williams.

In the game’s ‘Early Access’ fans can expect to explore several surreal landscapes, meet characters from the concept of ‘War Of Being’ and solve puzzles in order to unlock parts of TesseracT’s second single ‘The Grey. The end of the game will unlock the full song where the play can listen from within the same breathtaking landscapes used in the ‘War Of Being’ music video.

After finishing the album recording in August 2022, singer and frontman of TesseracT Daniel Tompkins immediately began his focus on developing War Of Being VR and desktop computer game based entirely on the album’s original concept, created by Amos Williams and himself. Tompkins is the lead designer and developer of the game alongside Adam Boyt (Programmer / Developer) and Kirsty Harvey (3D Designer).

Regarding the game Dan said the following:

As a keen gamer and live streamer I have always understood the potential waiting for a musical project to bridge the gap between the gaming and music worlds and with such a visually stunning concept, I could see that this was the perfect opportunity to bring it to life in virtual reality and as a desktop game.

“This has been without a doubt the biggest project I have personally ever undertaken and is a huge achievement for our developers. It has pushed us to our absolute limits and I'm so proud to have accomplished the beginnings of a fully developed game on Steam.”

The game will be available exclusively on Steam for £4.99 UK and playable in VR on Viva / Rift S and Oculus accompanied by a SteamDeck playable version.

TesseracT debut ‘War of Being’ with an EPIC CINEMATIC VIDEO

Plus details of the war of being world tour.

Five years since the release of Sonder, TesseracT have returned with their new album ‘War Of Being’ OUT NOW. 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’…

The album opens 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. When 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.

‘War Of Being’ was recorded at Middle Farm Studios in the United Kingdom with Peter Miles ( Architects/Sylosis/Dodie ) co-producing with the band alongside Katherine Marsh of Choir Noir ( Bring Me The Horizon / Architects / Marillion ). Assisting with additional programming and production, the band were joined by Randy Slaugh ( Periphery ,  Architects ,  Devin Townsend ). With additional engineering by Forrester Savell ( Karnivool ). The artwork, which features characters ‘ex’ and ‘el’ was created in collaboration between AI and human as a means to extend the concept into its presentation.

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.”

‘War Of Being’, the first single to be released from the album of the same name, is an eleven-minute visual extravaganza and provides the perfect prologue for the album’s aurally and visually immersive story. Written and Directed by Found Format alongside 2 nd unit director Richard Oakes / Dark Fable Media (Sleep Token) - the feature length video proves that TesseracT remain not only pioneers but innovators in a movement of their own making. Be sure to wait until the very end of the clip for the next piece of the puzzle to be revealed…

Regarding the track, Daniel Tompkins, the band’s vocalist, had the following to say:

“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.”

Leaders not followers, TesseracT exist in a sphere of their own with ambition positively written into the band’s DNA and ‘War Of Being’ is no different.

Recent tour reviews

I traveled from Canada to Lansing to see this show during a winter weather advisory, and it was sooo worth it. These guys are so tight live, I honestly have no idea how they can keep rhythm with such complicated time signatures. It's truly a pleasure to watch the flawless execution of some really great tunes. Although Sonder only came out last year, I am really looking forward to seeing what these guys come up with in the future!

Report as inappropriate

Hands down the best show I have ever been to. The band was locked in and sounded incredible. Dan Tompkins is an amazing front man and his live vocals are just as impressive as the album recorded stuff. I cannot recommend seeing them love enough!

I’ve read some reviews of Flex before going there. There were some nasty things being said about the place but being there I found put its not really that bad.

The sound quality was really great and crisp clear. All the bands performed beautifully and the public loved them.

About Tesseract? There isnt much to say other than they re simply amazing and they sound great amazing.

Though personally I loved Ashe, Daniel is also incredibly good and up at the top.

Technically they were also incredible, really nothing bad to say about the show.

- Flex doesnt have card payments so i had nothing to drink :(

Tour de France

Can anyone beat them tadej pogačar confirms ‘scary’ uae tour de france support crew, 'yates is my righthand man, ayuso and almeida are super climbing domestiques': pogačar sees world-class support for giro-tour double bid..

Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! >","name":"in-content-cta","type":"link"}}'>Download the app .

Tadej Pogačar revealed who will be his support crew at the Tour de France and the firepower is impressive.

Pogačar, speaking on the Watts Occurring podcast, confirmed who will be backing him at UAE Team Emirates as he takes on the yellow jersey just weeks after winning the Giro d’Italia.

According to Pogačar, here they are:

Adam Yates , Juan Ayuso , Joäo Almeida, Marc Soler, Pavel Sivakov, Nils Politt, and Tim Wellens will provide a mix of brawn and climbing finesse as the Slovenian moves toward the second act of the elusive Giro-Tour double .

“It scares me also,” Pogačar said of the names on the list. “Yates is my righthand man, and Ayuso and Almeida are super climbing domestiques.

“Soler, Sivakov are going to be the bigger climbers and they can do something on the flats. Nils Politt and Tim Wellens,” Pogačar said. “It’s a five-star team.”

UAE Team Emirates brass have to reveal the final official list, but Pogačar said these riders have been the A-list since December.

There are no real surprises.

Some have pointed that Brandon McNulty is missing, but the American — who raced the Tour in 2021 and 2022 — never had the Tour on his radar this season.

Mikkel Bjerg, who raced the Tour from 2021-23, rode in support for Pogačar at the Giro. One key rider in previous Tours for UAE who is missing is Vegard Stake Laengen, who raced the Tour from 2019 through 2023, but he also raced the Giro.

Filling into those key domestique spots are newcomers Politt, who have added responsibility on the flats, and Sivakov.

Yates and Soler are the only riders returning from the 2023 Tour lineup alongside Pogačar .

Ayuso, racing this week at Critérium du Dauphiné, said he’s relishing the chance to race to support Pogačar in what will the Spaniard’s Tour debut.

“There’s no one better to learn about the Tour than riding for Tadej,” Ayuso said. “Everyone is excited to try to help him make history.”

Almeida also makes his Tour debut and will also provide massive horsepower for Pogačar in the approaches to the climbs.

Yates, who rode the vapors to finish third overall in last year’s Tour, will also be back in the marquee “super domestique” role that he played perfectly in 2023.

“There are so many rock stars,” Pogačar said on the podcast. “Maybe the Giro was not super famous riders, but the level of everybody was super high.”

‘The Tour de France start is very hard’

Pogačar also revealed that he wanted to race the Giro as soon as his debut season in 2019, but his surprise win in the 2020 Tour forever changed his trajectory.

“I wanted to do the Giro already in 2019 and 2020, but then there was COVID, and I did the Tour and I won it, and no one expected that,” Pogačar said. “After that, it was all about the Tour.

“At some point I needed to do something else, and I cannot do the same calendar every year, it gets a bit tiring,” he said. “I wanted to do the Giro really bad, and I spoke to them about it after the Tour last year.”

After a week off the bike, Pogačar will head to altitude at Isola 2000 to begin his final touches heading toward the June 29 start of the Tour in Florence, Italy.

Pogačar also confirmed he’s working with a new coach Javier Solana, who will join him Saturday high in the French Alps.

Any hints on tactics?

The opening four stages are explosive and on paper favor Pogačar’s style of racing. The opening stage features 4000m of climbing and Sunday’s stage tackles the famed San Luca above Bologna twice before finishing on the flats.

Stage 4 tackles the Col du Galibier, site of Pogačar’s famous “crack” in the 2022 Tour that opened the door for Jonas Vingegaard to win the yellow jersey.

“The Tour start is hard,” Pogačar said. “In Bilbao we were super-aggressive and it backfired a bit, but the shape wasn’t super good last year. I don’t know, we’ll see about the tactics.”

Russia’s top diplomat promises more military support for Burkina Faso as he tours West Africa

OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) — Russia’s foreign minister on Wednesday pledged more support to Burkina Faso in fighting militant groups as he pressed his whirlwind tour of West Africa in an attempt to fill a vacuum left by the region’s traditional Western partners.

Sergey Lavrov spoke at a news conference in the country’s capital of Ouagadougou while on the third leg of his latest Africa trip, after Guinea and the Republic of Congo.

Russia is seeking to shore up support from the region amid Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. A number of African countries in recent years have expressed growing frustration with their traditional Western partners such as France and the United States.

“Russian instructors have been working here and their number will increase,” Lavrov said, adding that Russia has been helping train Burkina Faso’s military and law enforcement personnel. “We have supplied and will continue to supply military equipment to help strengthen Burkina Faso’s defense capability and allow it to eliminate the remaining terrorist groups.”

Lavrov said he appreciated the “objective and fair” position of Burkina Faso on the war in Ukraine. “For our part, we are ready to provide our support for the just cause of Africans who are trying to free themselves from neo-colonial influence.”

Burkina Faso, a landlocked nation of 20 million, has been ravaged in the past eight years by violence from extremist groups loosely affiliated with al-Qaida and the Islamic State group, and from the fighting between government forces and the militants.

The country also went through two coups in just 10 months, the second last year after which a military junta threw out French forces and turned to Russia for security support. However, the junta has struggled to contain the security and humanitarian crisis.

Burkina Faso has topped the list of the world’s biggest neglected crises for the second year in a row, according to the Norwegian Refugee Council. A record 6.3 million out of 20 million people will need humanitarian assistance in 2024, the aid organization said, with many on the brink of starvation. Two million people remain internally displaced, about 60% of them children. Many have been traumatized, but resources to help them are scarce .

Jan Egeland, the agency’s secretary-general, told The Associated Press that Western governments have been withdrawing financial aid from Burkina Faso and other countries in the Sahel, a region encompassing states on the fringes of the Sahara Desert, contributing to the vicious circle of poverty, violence, and extremism.

“The disengagement of the West is bringing them no influence in the region,” Egeland said. “But I haven’t seen Russia helping us in our humanitarian work or doing development programs, so the Russian approach is not going to bring relief that the people need.”

But, he added, “I see Russian flags in Burkina Faso. I don’t see European flags.”

Later Wednesday, Lavrov arrived in Chad, which has also made the list of the world’s neglected crises.
