If metal music is your cup of tea, then allow your soul to feed on it at a concert featuring the British progressive metal band, Tesseract, which will be touring India later this month. The band, which comprises Acle Kahney, Jay Postones, James Monteith, Amos Williams and Daniel Tompkins, has belted out five albums, with their latest one titled War of Being.
“We wanted to get Tesseract to perform in India because they are quite popular and reached out to them. They have not staged a gig in India for quite some time, and we thought that it will be fascinating for metalheads to see them performing new songs from War of Being,” says Amarjeet Singha, president of international artist bookings and IPs at SkillBox, which is an art community platform.
The band, formed in the early 2000s, created a buzz in 2022 with Regrowth, a special double a-side, to raise money for The Disasters Emergency Committee and help the Ukrainian people. On kscopemusic.bandcamp.com, Bandcamp being an online record store and music community, the band had put up two songs for purchase — Hollow and Rebirth — that were slated to be mounted on their fifth album with a message: “These songs have been in the TesseracT domain for a while. We had developed them for album five, but they just weren’t the right fit for where that album has headed. Rather than have them slowly decay on a server somewhere, we felt they could do something good, no matter how small?”
