TesseracT: Music for the Win

I haven't been home in a couple days, and as such haven't had a chance to get my hands on something that I've been eagerly awaiting for the better part of a year.

This past Tuesday, October 12th, TesseracT released their Concealing Fate EP.

The UK based group have captivated the likes of the Djent circuit and metal fans in general with their blend of Experimental/Progressive/Ambient and just plain Amazing metal, over the past couple of years.

Their debut album which was originally set to be released this year was pushed back to 2011, which left a lot of people slightly disappointed. However news shortly broke loose of the release of an EP featuring their six part masterpiece, Concealing Fate, of which only parts 1 and 2 were previously seen in the wild.

When I put the first track of the EP on play I instantly recognized the opening I was familiar with from the earlier version of the song. Cleaner and slightly different (very slightly) from the original I had heard, the first track of this EP instantly draws you in, letting you know you're in for a good bit of aural pleasure for the next 27 minutes.

TesseracT's debut album One is still scheduled to be released in 2011 through Century Media. If this EP has done anything it's just left every one of their fans eager for more, especially considering many of them have been waiting for the release of One for, quite some time.

Regardless, Concealing Fate has proven itself to be one of the better releases in the genre, in 2010.

The Track listing for the Concealing Fate EP is as follows:

1. Acceptance: Concealing Fate Part One - 8:33 
2. Deception: Concealing Fate Part Two - 5:22
3. The Impossible: Concealing Fate Part Three - 4:50
4. Perfection: Concealing Fate Part Four - 2:38
5. Epiphany: Concealing Fate Part Five - 1:29
6. Origin: Concealing Fate Part Six - 4:43

TesseracT just recently kicked off a tour in the US and Canada in support of Devin Townsend - of which I would probably do many nasty, unmentionable things, in order to go to Montreal and see on November 2nd.

If you haven't heard of these guys yet, do yourself a favor and give them a go, you shan't be disappointed.
