Tesseract has announced that the band's second full length album,"Altered State", will be released on May 27th, 2013 throughout Europe and May 28th, 2013 in North America via Century Media Records.Divided into four movements:"Of Matter","Of Mind","Of Reality", and"Of Energy", the"Altered State" album 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"."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 U.K. just prior to album release. Worldwide touring will follow throughout the year.
