Tesseract is a British Djent metal band that was formed in 2007. Known for their unique sound and technical proficiency, they have gained a dedicated following in the progressive metal scene.

Inspired by bands such as *Periphery*, *Textures*, and *SikTh*, Tesseract has carved out their own distinct style characterized by intricate guitar riffs, complex rhythms, and soaring melodies. Their music seamlessly blends heavy aggression with atmospheric beauty, creating an immersive sonic experience.

With albums like "One" and "Altered State," Tesseract has proven themselves to be masters of their craft. They have shared stages with notable acts like *Animals As Leaders* and *Protest The Hero*, further solidifying their status as one of the leading forces in modern progressive metal.

Following on from 2018’s critically acclaimed studio album, Sonder, the band, in the midst of a global pandemic decided to come together to present P O R T A L S – a cinematic live experience like no other. The band took livestreams to a new level by interspersing a conceptual storyline with their live performances that featured a colossal and highly spectacular arena-style light show.

TesseracT are a band that sit outside the bounds of any genre specificity, pioneers of the ever-evolving rock and metal scene, with an unstoppable force of off-kilter riffs, soaring melodies and disorientating atmospherics. They put all of this into the December 2020 event that featured the band performing songs spanning their entire catalogue. Highlights included “Nocturne" off their 2010 debut EP, Concealing Fate and continued with "Eden” (One, 2011), "Of Matter” (Altered State, 2013), “Tourniquet” (Polaris, 2015), and “King” (Sonder, 2018), with the whole performance capturing 14 songs over 2+ hours.

Bass player Amos Williams explains more about the event and the concept behind it: “P O R T A L S is a celebration of our love of performing. Each act is a still from an ever-evolving musical personality. Each song is the conversations you have with old friends when you meet up for the first time in ages and you pick up exactly where you left off.”
