The most difficult thing for any progressive metal musicians unquestionably remains the infamous search for the perfect balance between the sonic power, the complexity of the technical elements to incorporate, and the musicality of the group, who have to try to avoid getting crushed under a ton of potential clichés in order to reach their goal. A challenge that not everyone can rise to easily – far from it. TesseracT belongs to the group of bands who are the best of the best at this game. Just take a look at the opener “Natural Disorder'', and you’ll understand that metal will always remain at the heart of the British band’s music. What follows is just as delightful, the musicians having fun with combining verses reminiscent of Steven Wilson, with refrains that are more neo-metal (“Echoes”), before letting loose the masterpiece that is the over 11-minute track “War of Being.”
It’s a heavy, mid-tempo journey that reminds us that TesseracT possess real know-how when it comes to striking riffs, owning up to their djent side and the musical ties that automatically link their music to that of bands like their godfathers Meshuggah and the now-legendary Periphery. Yet another one of the group’s strengths is how this track brings to light the vocal talents of Daniel Tompkins, who is as equally capable of screaming as of whispering sweet melodies, without resorting to crying beside the mic after assuming his emo-boy persona. That’s what you’d call mastery without pretence.
Five years after Sonder, which put the group back on track with technical and powerful music, but with fewer tangents and deviations, War of Being keeps this focus. This follows a pandemic in which the Milton Keynes lads, who, twenty years after the formation of TesseracT, are from being considered newcomers, struggled to make the best of their creativity. © Chief Brody/Qobuz
