The Brit metallers explore spacey, aggressive new territory on new album ‘Sonder’; return to India on their first headline tour here
THE LAST TIME UK METALLERS TesseracT were in India, they spent about 14 hours on ground without a chance to get on stage due to an unexpected downpour at Bacardi NH7 Weekender’s Bengaluru edition in 2013. Bassist Amos Williams recalls over the phone, “Yeah that was intense, wasn’t it? All the electric supply disappeared from the stage, the stage started sinking. Everything was ready, but the weather just got worse. I felt terrible for everybody who was waiting for the show.”
And it turned out they had booked their flight out of India the same night. Now, nearly eight years after their India debut at the Great Indian Rock festival shows (alongside Swedish metal giants Meshuggah) in 2010, TesseracT will return for a multi-city India tour put together by Bengaluru venue The Humming Tree later this month. Williams says, “It’s our first headline tour of India, which is exciting. It’s nice to come back with the original lineup as well.”
