Regarding the track, Amos Williams says, “‘The Grey’ explores the story and character within The Strangeland of the same name — a character who has suppressed their own voice to the point that they have blended into the shadows, their story lost amongst the white noise of the world. Through the song, we experience their journey as they wrestle with their frustration and sorrow at how they have ended up this way

“It’s a powerful, energetic piece that pushes each member of TesseracT to a next level of musicianship and expression. And continues to shine a light upon the diversity that can be expected from War Of Being.”

TesseracT have also released an immersive video game. War of Being, the video game, is out now on both VR and desktop platforms. The game was a collaboration between Unreal Engine 5 and TesseracT vocalist Daniel Tompkins. Download and play it HERE.

Regarding the game, Tompkins says, “As a keen gamer and livestreamer, I have always understood the potential waiting for a musical project to bridge the gap between the gaming and music worlds and with such a visually stunning concept, I could see that this was the perfect opportunity to bring it to life in virtual reality and as a desktop game. This has been without a doubt the biggest project I have personally ever undertaken and is a huge achievement for our developers. It has pushed us to our absolute limits and I’m so proud to have accomplished the beginnings of a fully developed game on Steam.”

Alongside the new album, the band will trek across the globe for a worldwide tour this fall. The absolutely mammoth tour will begin on October 5th in Charlotte, NC, USA and wrap on May 19th, 2024 in Tokyo, Japan.
