UK tech-metal standard-bearers bring their spectacular livestream back to life
BACK IN DECEMBER last year, the UK’s most prominent tech-metal band played one of the more visually striking livestreams of the pandemic. Titled Portals, it showcased exactly why their popularity had increased over the decade while many of their early djent peers had fallen by the wayside. It makes perfect sense to release the entire thing as Tesseract’s first live album/DVD/Blu-ray experience. Whether you’re experiencing it for the first time or reliving it once again, this is a hugely impressive document showing how far Tesseract have come as a band.
