UK’s progressive rock band TESSERACT is gearing up for the release of their upcoming album and European tour. The band has been rehearsing nonstop and recently recorded footage of them in their practice space jamming on the track „Singularity„. You can view the footage here: http://youtu.be/G2-bBAslW1o
„Singularity” is part of the „Of Energy” movement from Altered State and has been chosen as the first single and video off the album. An edited version of the song will be making its premiere on the BBC’s Radio One Rock Show show this coming Monday. Expect the song to hit online shortly thereafter. Video production began on „Singularity” a few days ago. Produced by Horsie In The Hedge / Pari Passu Films and featuring the Emmy Award winning director of photography, Mark Wolf as well as the practical effects team that worked on Skyfall and Prometheus, the video is sure to be as cinematically stunning as the music itself.
„Altered State” will be released on May 27 (USA May 28th), 2013 via Century Media Records. The album will be available as limited special edition 2 CD including the entire album as instrumental version, as double LP in different vinyl color options and of course as standard CD and Digital download. The pre-orders for all formats and a T-shirt bundle are online from today on ant CM Distro: https://www.cmdistro.de/Search?q=altered
