While they have a break from the road, TESSERACT have decided to begin work on a new music video, for the track 'Eden', which appears on the band's debut album, One.

In association with Escape Plan Productions, 'Eden' will feature the artistic vision of Director Ganesh Rao (EMPYREAN) and Director of Photography Jonny Greenwald.

In regards to their new music video, bassist Amos Williams comments: "We like to keep a close eye on what's happening in the underground and the scene from which we were born. One day a jaw-dropping, stunning video appears on Got-Djent.com. I mean beautiful, cinematic, and emotive. Ganesh Rao created not only a great example of 'djent' with his entirely self created Empyrean project, but as director of the video, made something that has truly risen the bar for independent creators. Now, as it happened we were looking for a director to work with us for our upcoming video for 'Eden', so it was a no-brainer to approach Ganesh to try and make it happen. We're very excited to see what we can create together. The hope is that it's a piece of art, not a bullshit piece of marketing that does nothing but to self serve and ego boost the band. A lasting composition that can be enjoyed both visually and aurally. It won't be MTV, but like all things Tesseract, it should be intense, emotive, and enthralling."

Behind-the-scenes photos from the video shoot will be available soon, so stay tuned for a preview of 'Eden'.

After successfully completing their Australian run with PERIPHERY, Tesseract are now back in the UK, poised for their European headlining tour in the fall and a North American trek after that. While they're excited to be back in Europe, the band's recent tour in the outback is still fresh on their minds.

Amos Williams comments about Tesseract's journey "down-under" and their future touring plans: "Australia was a revelation! We won't lie, it's not easy to get 'down-under'. 25 hours trapped in a tin can, hurtling at 600 miles an hour, 40,000 feet in the air over land and sea with nothing but your fellow passenger's flatulence and airline 'food' for company is hell. But the end goal was SO worth it! We were amazed at the response in each town, especially Melbourne. You guys really made the gig amazing."

"So what's next for us this year? First, we have a European headliner - the Lowering the Tone Tour 2011, with CHIMP SPANNER and UNEVEN STRUCTURE. Secondly, we return to the US and Canada this October as part of the Saints And Sinners North American Tour. This bill is insane. We're gonna have to really be on the ball every night as the other two bands are masters of tech. After us will be ANIMALS AS LEADERS. Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes are probably the most exciting guitarists on the scene today. The pair are like aliens with super human skills and innovative ideas. Then headlining will be BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME... Intense and hugely energetic."
"We're so happy to be returning to the US and Canada re-visiting all our North American fans, and hopefully picking up a few new ones along the road!"
