TesseracT discuss instrumental version of album

Up and coming UK prog-metallers TesseracT have recently discussed the band's new release, which is an instrumental version of well-received debut full-length, 'One'.

Bassist Amos Williams caught up with Metal Hammer to outline the reasoning behind the new release. As the musician notes, TesseracT originally began as an instrumental musical endeavour. 

“TesseracT began as an instrumental project in Acle’s filthy, cat-ridden bedroom, so it has always had quite a strong instrumental focus. That’s not to say that we don’t enjoy vocals, we love them! But, it is worth noting that with every song we write, we like for it to be able to stand up on its own with or without vocals. We’ve always had the mind to, about six months after the initial release of ‘One’, to then release the instrumental version. It’s something that the fans have always asked us to do, and we felt now was the correct time to do so,” Williams told Metal Hammer.

TesseracT toured Australia with Periphery in July, with vocalist Daniel Tompkins leaving the band shortly after the tour.

Fans can preview and purchase the instrumental version of 'One' via iTunes at this location.
