While the album isn&#8217;t released until September 15th (via\u00a0<strong>Kscope<\/strong>), that hasn&#8217;t stopped the quintet from sharing its second single via their very own video game.<\/p>\n<p>The track is called\u00a0<em>&#8216;The Grey&#8217;<\/em> and captures\u00a0<strong>TesseracT<\/strong>&#8216;s signature grooves, polyrhythmic rhythms, and melodic nous.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;&#8216;The Grey&#8217; 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,&#8221;<\/em> explains\u00a0<strong>TesseracT<\/strong> bassist Amos Williams. <em>&#8220;Through the song, we experience their journey as they wrestle with their frustration and sorrow at how they have ended up this way. It&#8217;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.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The release of\u00a0<em>&#8216;The Grey&#8217;<\/em> coincides with the early access release of\u00a0<strong>TesseracT<\/strong>&#8216;s immersive video game. Also titled &#8216;<em>War Of Being&#8217;<\/em>, users can enter the world of the album bridging the gap between listening and experience to create a living, breathing concept that brings you closer to the world of <strong>TesseracT<\/strong> than ever before. The visualiser for\u00a0<em>&#8216;The Grey&#8217;<\/em> was created by Williams and incorporates areas seen in the game.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;War<em> Of Being&#8217; <\/em>VR game was developed by\u00a0<strong>TesseracT<\/strong> vocalist Daniel Tompkins, alongside Adam Boyt (Programmer \/ Developer) and Kirsty Harvey (3D Designer). On the creation of the game, Tompkins said;\u00a0<em>&#8220;As a keen gamer and live streamer, 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.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;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&#8217;m so proud to have accomplished the beginnings of a fully developed game on Steam.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The game will be available exclusively on Steam for \u00a34.99 UK and playable in VR on Viva \/ Rift S and Oculus accompanied by a SteamDeck playable version.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"TesseracT -
