TesseracT Announce New EP, Unveil “Crucible”: Stream

TesseracT have announced a new EP, *ARC_ONE: Obscura*, and released “Crucible” as its lead single. The EP is due on 5 March via Nuclear Blast Records and begins an album-length project that the band plans to release in smaller parts, aiming to build a story and concept for listeners.

Vocalist Dan Tompkins said the new material develops ideas from 2023’s *War of Being*, moving from its focus on ego and the masks people wear towards understanding what remains after those masks are removed. TesseracT will tour North America with Entheos and Sunborn from 7 to 31 January 2027, starting in New York City and ending in Denver; the listed dates also include UK and European shows in March.
