After the relatively muted response to the positively bitesize Sonder in 2018, TesseracT have pulled out all the stops this time around; new record War Of Being is accompanied by not just a video game based on the album’s concept, but there’s apparently also a novel in the works. As someone who’s had a complicated history with TesseracT, a landmark release such as this provides as good an opportunity as any to re-assess the group.

A lot of time has passed since djent was an emerging genre and it was all the rage, and while it's in a slight decline, established bands like Disperse, Animals As Leaders, and Vola have all put out acclaimed material lately. Then there are the ones that had a clear fall in quality, like Volumes, Uneven Structure, and Periphery, and even ones we haven't heard from in a while, like Vildhjarta. So where does Sonder place TesseracT right now in the grand scheme of djent?
