TESSERACT Announces Release Date and Track Listing for New Album, ALTERED STATE


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.

UK's progressive rock band, TESSERACT, has announced that their second full length album,ALTERED STATE, will be released on May 27, 2013 throughout Europe and May 28, 2013in North America via Century Media Records. Divided into four movements: Of Matter, Of Mind, Of Reality and Of Energy, ALTERED STATE in its purest form, is about the transformations the band has gone through over the past few years. TESSERACT elaborates:

"The concept behind the presentation of ALTERED STATE is very simple. It is about change, and how life is change. We have been through a very difficult period of time over the last few years. It is a miracle that the band has survived. I feel it is the ability to step back and see everything for what it is (hence the Perspective EP) that has allowed us to get on with life and try to enjoy it. Reality is change."


The official track listing for ALTERED STATE is as follows:

01. Of Matter - Proxy
02. Of Matter - Retrospect
03. Of Matter - Resist
04. Of Mind - Nocturne
05. Of Mind - Exile
06. Of Reality - Eclipse
07. Of Reality - Palingenisis
08. Of Reality - Calabi-Yau
09. Of Energy - Singularity
10. Of Energy - Embers

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.

The band is set to head out with longtime friends, Periphery, throughout mainland Europe and then headline dates throughout the UK just prior to album release. Worldwide touring will follow throughout the year.
