Back in December, TesseracT produced an incredible livestream performance dubbed, “P O R T A L S” and are now planning on releasing it on multiple formats, such as Blu-Ray, Triple LP soundtrack, and as a limited edition deluxe 4-disc book edition. “P O R T A L S” is scheduled to be released on August 27th via Kscope records and is now available for pre-orders here.
Bassist Amos Williams commented on the forthcoming release,
“It is only with hindsight and some time to appreciate it that we realize what this show meant to us. P O R T A L S as a show was an experiment afforded to us in a time when anything was possible because nothing of our previous life was possible. The overwhelming acceptance of such an approach to our music, and the stories contained within it, has shown us a potential path forward for TesseracT. It was exciting to connect with our fan base in such a difficult time for everyone, and it was powerful to see how it allowed some respite and escapism. These things were the gifts that this show gave to us, a direction and a drive, as we use this show’s example to forge a new path for TesseracT.”
