TesseracT, a band that sit outside the bounds of any genre specificity, pioneers of the ever-evolving metal scene and unstoppable force of off-kilter riffs, soaring melodies and disorientating atmospherics release their fourth studio album Sonder<\/b><\/em> on April 20th<\/sup> 2018 through Kscope.<\/p>\n

Sonder<\/b><\/em> <\/b>adds significant firepower to the band’s arsenal, blending the harsh abrasiveness of One<\/i> (2011) and progressive ethereal elements of Altered State<\/i> (2013) with the accessibility of Polaris (2015)<\/em>. Sonder<\/i><\/b> is streamlined, honest and direct with all the trademark TesseracT dreamy atmospherics and bending grooves. Sonder<\/em> was recorded in the UK at 4D Sounds, Celestial Sounds and Project Studios, engineered by the band and Aiden O?Brien with mastering by Acle Kahney, and cover artwork designed by Amos Williams.<\/p>\n

Vocalist Daniel Tompkins<\/strong> described Sonder as? Conceptually exploring a deep and devouring sense of insignificance, which ties into the overall theme and meaning behind ‘Sonder’. Also featured is an <\/i>extended and re-worked version of last summer\u2019s single Smile.<\/p>\n

Sonder<\/i><\/b> will be released on CD \/ 2CD \u2013 featuring binaural album bonus disc \/ black LP \/ Crystal Clear vinyl LP \/ picture disc (exclusive to the band\u2019s webstores) and digitally (with digital album pre-order receiving Luminary as an instant download) and is available to listen to & to pre order HERE<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

For audiophiles, TesseracT have produced a binaural version which will be available exclusively as part of the 2CD version, this version is a 360-listening experience designed by Klang: Fabrik for headphones listening Amos Williams explains more the concept is to push past the restrictions of a stereo headphone mix and create an accurate ?3D space in which positioning outside of the normal Left Right axis can occur. This is something that every artist that uses in ear monitors on stage wishes to recreate; the real and accurate positioning of instruments. We immediately felt that this technology could be applicable to us in the studio. TesseracT loves to bring what it does in the studio to the stage, but this time it\u2019s experimenting with bringing a live element to the studio. <\/i><\/p>\n

Building on their phenomenal success with worldwide tours in support of Polaris<\/i> over the last two years, as both headliners and as special guests for the likes of Megadeth, Meshuggah, DevinTownsend Project and Gojira, TesseracT area gearing up to take Sonder<\/i><\/b> to worldwide audiences beginning in North America in April.<\/p>\n

On this tour they will be supported by Plini (https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PLINI<\/a> ) and Astronoid (www.facebook.com\/astronoidband\/<\/a> ) with the first show in Boston on 19th<\/sup> April and the tour culminating at New York\u2019s Irving Plaza on 24th<\/sup> May.<\/p>\n

North America is where TesseracT first took off and is always the leg of the album cycle that holds the most sentiment to me. There are a lot of good memories made and good friends discovered along those long and bumpy roads. This time we\u2019re lucky enough to share the road with two boundary pushing bands: Astronoid, a wall of euphoric noise who have a bright and noisy future ahead of them. And Plini, with his genre defying effortless virtuosity. It\u2019s going to be a fun tour for us, especially as we\u2019ve got a bunch of new tunes to add to the set!? <\/i>Amos Williams.<\/p>\n
