UK progressive metal giants TesseracT’s War of Being album was met with widespread acclaim upon its release in 2023, regarded by many as their strongest and most ambitious work to date.

Now, War of Being receives a special Tour Edition release on Kscope to coincide with the band's War of Being Part 2 Tour – an extensive run of European shows kicking off in February 2025.

The new edition is available on 2LP and 2CD, with both formats including the Live At Radar EP - three bonus tracks recorded live from TesseracT’s headline set at Radar Festival 2024 (Manchester, UK) where they were joined on stage by Choir Noir’s Kat Marsh. The LP edition has also been newly mastered at half-speed for the highest audio quality and is pressed on black and red marble vinyl. 

Speaking on the new tour edition, TesseracT bassist Amos Williams said: "It has been a wild adventure for TesseracT since the release of War of Being back in September 2023. We have travelled the world and experienced many career highlights during these last 12 months, or so. There's a sense of great fulfilment, but also a tinge of sadness as you know that the unique campaign that led into the release of War of Being has passed. So, it's truly awesome to be able to release a Tour Edition version, that as a bonus, includes live recordings from a very special headline show we performed in the summer of 2024, where we were joined on stage by the indomitable Choir Noir (featuring Kat Marsh/Cestra, whom many of you will know, that along with Producer Peter Miles, was part of the team that brought War Of Being from demos to album).

"Exploring this exciting side of ourselves, and bringing the full realisation of the album production to stage, has given us a passion and a drive. One that we're looking forward to developing more and bringing to the stage as we begin the War of Being World Tour Part Two this coming January 2025 in Europe."
