TesseracT - War of Being (Bruce Soord 5.1 & Dolby Atmos mixes coming in September 2023; BD-V / Deluxe)

[haikubass]

New album by TesseracT is up for pre-order via Burning Shed both as a standalone BD-V and deluxe edition (CD+DVD-V+BD-V, limited to 1500 copies worldwide).

5.1 (dts-HD) and Atmos mixes are done by Bruce Soord, who has mixed the band‘s 2015 album Polaris in 5.1.
TesseracT has also released live-in-studio EP Concealing Fate in 5.1 in 2011.

Release date is September 15.

Kscope bio: On this, their fifth studio album, British prog-metal pioneers TesseracT return with a career-high release that is their most conceptual, dynamic and sonically intricate to date.

The story revolves around an inter-dimensional journey undertaken by two characters (ex and el), within The Strangeland, a world made to reflect the socio-economic state of our own.

Musically, sprawling atmospherics, impassioned Daniel Tompkins vocal performances and atom bomb level heavy riffs combine for a truly unique sound.

Acle Kahney, Daniel Tompkins, Amos Williams, Jay Postones, and James Monteith recorded the album at Middle Farm Studios in the UK. The record was co-produced and engineered by the band and Peter Miles along with his long-time collaborator Katherine Marsh of Choir Noir. Assisting with additional programming and production, the band were joined by Randy Slaugh.

KScope is one of my favourite music labels. Whenever there is a surround release, there is always the option for a reasonably priced stand alone blu ray.

Have Polaris, don't listen to it often, but when I do, really enjoy it. Time for a spin me thinks.

Sampled 'War and Being' off their website. Nice and heavy, I like it.

$25 out-the-door with a Bruce Soord ATMOS mix ?!?

I'm in.

If only Katatonia had stayed with them…

If only Haken would have signed with them...

If only Haken would have signed with them...

I would love a great immersive mix of Aquarius.
I love that album, while finding it difficult to get into any of their subsequent records.
Maybe great mixes would help there, too.

At least both Haken and Katatonia can be streamed in Atmos from Apple Music, and both mixes are very good.

Haken - Fauna

Haken - Fauna
Katatonia - Sky Void Of Stars

Fauna is awesome, that leaves some hope for a standalone bluray release sometime.
