TesseracT sign worldwide deal with Century Media Records and announce North American Tour with Devin Townsend
TesseracT are proud to announce that they have signed a worldwide deal with Century Media Records. Below is Century Media's Press Release:
Century Media is proud to announce the worldwide signing of progressive metal act, TesseracT.
Hailed as one of the best unsigned bands from everyone from the Washington Post to UK’s RockSound magazine, TesseracT are pleased to finally shed the “unsigned” tag as they announce a worldwide recording deal with Century Media Records. The band comments:
“TesseracT is very excited to be working with Century Media. We have been looking for a long time and have spoken to many companies but feel that the hard work ethic and enthusiasm that Century Media showed will help take us to the next level and will see TesseracT emerge from the underground and on to the international scene.”
TesseracT has spent the last year finalizing their debut album, One, which was produced by TesseracT band mates, Acle Kahney and Amos Williams (4D Sounds), and Mastered by Andrew 'Hippy' Baldwin at Metropolis Mastering. With constant support from the UK media, TesseracT has been able to achieve a loyal following in their home country as well as the rest of Europe, having their video for Concealing Fate Part II in constant rotation on Scuzz TV and other media outlets. They’ve toured throughout the UK and EU playing everything from clubs to festivals and last spring made it over to Russia for the first of what will surely be many stops. Their international touring plans continue as they are pleased to announce they were invited as special guests on Devin Townsend’s North American West Coast run.
“For TesseracT to be on the road with Devin Townsend is just unbelievable for us. From his work with Steve Vai to the craziness of SYL and all the way through to his latest solo albums, he's always been way out there, pushing the boundaries of modern rock and metal and has been a constant in cutting edge music. It'll be a great opportunity for us to watch and learn from a very creative and accomplished musician and song writer. We cannot wait for October to come!”
Formed in 2003 as a solo writing project in the mind of guitarist Acle (who was a founding member in Fell Silent) TesseracT first broke through in the scene with their 2007 demo and later appearances at UK’s Bloodstock, Hammerfest, Caos Emergente in Portugal and the Hellfire 2 festival at the Birmingham NEC arena. TesseracT soon became one of the most talked about bands among musicians and tech-heads, thanks to the quintet’s time signatures and musical complexity. TesseracT are far from an exclusionary exercise in tech metal pomposity though. 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.

- Teqty : Jocony...You appear to be losing it...Take a valium or something
- Acs : lol what do you expect from an unofficial release/leak.
- jocony : but the track list is all wrong? :O
- lol : oh, it cut me off... As i was saying - just generally more awesome IMO.
- lol : jocony, that IS the real one - as far as any of us are aware at least... only the band can confirm or deny that. It is complete, and has Dan's (amazing) vocals on the whole thing... when that guy said 'no thats old' I believe he was referring to the link of the old version of concealing fate pt 5 you attached. I understand what people were saying about the guitars compared with the demo versions; but honestly the newer versions are better produced, tighter, and better written and just generally
- jocony : so ppl are downloading the Tesseract - Concealing Fate EP 2010 (advance) and think that its real deal like I did?
- Lalic : I have listened to the EP over 30 times! It's still amazing as ever!
- sania : парни, вы крутые))
- lol : leaked or not if you like it you still have to buy it to support the band or at least go to live shows
- andre : ohhhh ok i thought u got a DL link when u bought it, and a hard copy in octoboer. didnt realise everyone was downloading leaked versions...
- lol : this one is better imo. they are both super fucking awesome but this is just different... their production is way different too. drums are completely unique... its just an experience.
- randomguy : just finished my third or fourth listen. The music is fantastic, but I thought the production left something to be desired. The CF1 demo sounds better than the ep version imo :/
- Dexter : I just had 30 min of porn to my ears, 30 min of pure awesomeness - yes, i have it!!! Big thanks to whoever leaked it and of course, i will buy once its out! If there was a donate button on here, i would donate right now. Have to get used to the new sound though. The former EP was a bit more crisp sounding, especially guitars, but other than that, fan-fuckin-tastic!!!!
- jocony : @andre isnt the ep like a real cd? cover and all?
- metalshea : I just picked up tix to see you in Worcester, MA with DTP. I can't wait to see you guys. I'll be singing to Deception
- Lalic : Shit I believe the leaked Concealing Fate may have virus' on it!
- andre : i just bought it! do i have to wait for an email for the download link??
- lol : no i bought it and its the best thing ever omfg i will molest it when i have hard copy
- Lalic : Every minute not listening to Concealing Fate is a minute wasted!
- jocony : i always download before buy, though now i made an exception. hope i didn't spent 10e for nothing!
So when's the album coming out?!!
