TESSERACT have posted their video for the track ‘Nocturne’, taken from their critically acclaimed album, ‘Altered State’. The video, directed by Ben Thornley for Sitcom Soldiers, can be seen below:

The band comments on the video: “As we haven’t taken part in our promo videos for a while we felt now was the time to make an appearance. But, we also wanted to create a journey with the video that was similar to the journey portrayed by the music. A pretty straight forward step from the night, what it hides and the fear it generates, into the reassurance and safety of the dawn. We have always really liked the idea of creating silhouettes (we tried to something similar with our first video, “Deception”), so we decided upon using back lights for the majority of the video, which is then reversed when the feeling of the music changes towards the end of the track. We feel the guys at Sitcom Soldiers have really captured the mood of the song, and also produced a video that draws you in.”
Ben Thornley who produced the video for Sitcom Soldiers: “Working with TESSERACT for us was about capturing something which did a great song justice with a memorable performance, whilst providing an equally provocative atmospheric narrative. The band naturally looked great and the creative process went very smoothly and shows in the final video.”

Divided into four movements: Of Matter, Of Mind, Of Reality and Of Energy, “Altered State”, in its purest form, is about the transformations the band have gone through over the past few years.

 

The band elaborates: “The concept behind the presentation of Altered State is very simple. It is about change, and how life is change. We have been through a very difficult period of time over the last few years. It is a miracle that the band has survived. I feel it is the ability to step back and see everything for what it is (hence the Perspective EP) that has allowed us to get on with life and try to enjoy it. Reality is change”.

1.       Of Matter – Proxy

2.       Of Matter – Retrospect
