TesseracT To Issue EP In October

Posted by Chris Harris on September 2, 2010 in New Records, News, Rad

I’ll admit it. I can’t listen to every fucking band out there. I can’t know and be aware of every single group that springs forth from the fertile soils of North Bumblerape, Arkansas, or the muddy bogs of jolly old England. So until just recently, I didn’t know much about TesseracT, a progressive metal band that I only looked into after learning they’d be opening for Devin Townsend this fall.

And I have to concede: They’re fucking amazing. They’re like Dredg crossed with Between The Buried and Me, or Porcupine Tree crossed with Thursday. That’s the best way I could describe it. They have a new EP coming out on October 12 and I will be first in line to get it when it drops. OK, maybe not first in line. But definitely in line.

Concealing Fate is the name of the new EP, and the band says that “deciding to put out just the Concealing Fate EP was a bitter pill to swallow, but we soon saw it as the only logical thing to do given the circumstances. The upside is, that this is allowing us to make the album really special, and gives us the time to add some extra content. The EP will be special, too. Not only is it a limited edition, but it will come with a new shirt as well. We’re looking forward to seeing you all out on the road in the U.S. and on our UK warm up gigs. We hope you guys can understand the situation we’re in, and really appreciate your patience and continued support.”

The band also have a full-length called One that will be out in early 2011. Check them out. They rule.
