August 2, 2013 (Los Angeles, CA) - UK Progressive rock band TesseracT will
be returning to North America for two tours! First the band will hit
the road with Katatonia, Cult of Luna and Intronaut. That tour begins
September 23rd in Boston, MA and runs through October 7th in San Francisco, CA.
Immediately following their dates with Katatonia, TesseracT has announced a headline tour with support being provided by Scale the Summit and Anciients. These shows kick off October 9th and Vancouver and are currently set to wrap on October 27th in Greensboro, NC. More dates may be added in the coming weeks.
The band commented on their return to this side of the pond:
"North
America! We're coming back. And for not 1, but 2 tours back to back.
We've all been missing Cracker Barrel, and Timmy Ho's, so it's with
great pleasure that we can announce that we will be touring your fair
lands again. Ever since the first tour we did with DTP way back when
Ashe was called Dan, you guys have always been so cool to us. A lot has
changed since then, and we can't wait to show you what we've been
showing the Europeans for the past year. Firstly we'll be on tour with
Katatonia, Cult of Luna, and Intronaut, as part of the Uncrowned and
Vertikal tour. This will be an intense evening of dark powerful prog.
It's so cool to be apart of this bill as all 4 bands create a completely
different yet compatible atmosphere. Then we'll start the Altered State
tour, where we'll have support from Scale The Summit and Anciients. Two
bands that stretch progressive music to its limits. All of this is
great, but you know the best bit...French Toast. Everyday for 5 weeks.
Maple Syrup. Bacon. TubberacT."
TesseracT's latest release Altered State
came out earlier this year on Century Media Records. The entering the
Billboard Top 200 Chart at #94 as well as #88 on the Billboard Top
Current Albums Chart and #4 on the Hard Music Chart.

'Altered State' is divided into four movements: Of Matter, Of Mind, Of Reality and Of Energy, 'Altered State' represents the transformations that TESSERACT has gone through over the past few years. The
Law of Conservation of Energy states that: In a closed system energy is
conserved, nothing is lost. It merely changes from one state to
another.
'Altered State' was produced, mixed, mastered and engineered by TESSERACT
guitarist, Acle Kahney, assisted by bassist, Amos Williams at Acle's 4D
Sounds studio, and marks the first full release with new vocalist, Ashe
O'Hara.
