AFTER KEEPING FANS immersed in their world with their livestreams, ‘Portals’, during the pandemic, progressive metallers TesseracT return with their first new album in five years. The War Of Being is a hugely complex concept piece telling the tale of characters Ex and El, crashlanded and stranded on ‘The Strangeland’.
There are plans for the dark fantasy story to reach beyond just the music, as frontman Daniel Tompkins and bassist Amos Williams explain.
