About this user

UK-based metallers TesseracT will celebrate the dawn of a new decade with something truly special when they unleash their debut album One in early 2010.

The record will mark the realisation of a bold, experimental creative vision that began in 2003 as a solo writing project in the mind of guitarist Acle Kahney, and has subsequently spawned one of the most hotly tipped metal bands in the UK.

Since the formation of the bands five-piece line-up in spring 2007, TesseracT have picked up richly deserved props from peers (Textures, Meshuggah) and press alike (Metal Hammer, Rock Sound, Scuzz). Following the release of their 2007 demo, TesseracT continue to cultivate a growing International fanbase, through well recieved UK and European tour dates and internet word of mouth. Their reputation of delivering jaw-dropping live performances has been furthered fuelled through appearances at Bloodstock, Hammerfest, Caos Emergente in portugal and the recent Hellfire 2 festival at the Birmingham NEC arena.

The climax of 2009 finds the band in exciting new territory, with the recent addition of singer Dan Tompkins from First Signs Of Frost, who replaces the departing frontman Abisola Obasanya.

"We knew from the first 20-second demo that he would be perfect", says bassist Amos Williams of the new vocalist. "TesseracT is all about three things: experimentation, musical emotion and groove. Dan manages to stay true to all of those ideals, whilst still connecting the listener to the music on a human level. Everything he writes challenges us, surprises and excites us."

As evident in the sneak peek album track Lament (featured on Metal Hammers November 2009 issue cover CD), Tompkins brings a huge vocal range and further melodic impetus to TesseracTs ambitious, accomplished musicianship.

Tech-heads will often focus on the quintets time signatures and musical complexity, but TesseracT are far from an exclusionary exercise in tech metal pomposity. They fully embrace their experimental, prog sensibility without excessive indulgence or pretentiousness, delivering atmospheric, metallic songs that stir strong emotions and evoke powerful mental images. All of which, they argue, are at the core surprisingly simple:

"The concept is to have music that just has a pulse, a heartbeat; you dont count your pulse and split it into sections of four or five; its just there beneath you, not forcing you to work in a box four heart beats long, Honestly, most of the time we havent a clue what time signature or key we are in, and to be honest we dont really care all that much. We aint smart enough to deal with that! Knowing those things would only get in the way of the vibe, which is paramount.

"We only ever wish to create music with subtle power and emotion, to avoid genre-specific clichés and tired old tricks. We want to aim for the same place that our musical heroes people like Pink Floyd, The Doors, Faith No More, Meshuggah, Jeff Buckley, Textures and Sigur Rós. To create an ALBUM, not a collection of songs that fit the mould of three singles and seven fillers, but an actual old school album that you want to take 50 or 60 minutes out of your life with, to sit down and escape with.

"It'll be as simple as can be in places, and then as obscure and as intricate as could be in others, concludes Amos. The complexity in our music comes from the details. The subtleties add the depth that makes TesseracT different. We hope this album will faithfully portray that. Ultimately, if when you listen to it, it moves you emotionally, intellectually and physically, we will have achieved our goal."
