Tesseract is a prog-metal, grassroots UK band about to drop an immersive VR experience for its new album War of Being. Back in 2019, Dan Tompkins (vocals) began streaming on Twitch, through which he met developer and programmer Adam Boyt.

When Tompkins became involved in streaming VR games, Boyt approached him with the suggestion of recreating his studio space in VR. This idea soon evolved into a Tesseract metaverse – a visually striking space where fans of the band and Tompkins could gather, socialize, and enjoy Tesseract’s brand of hard-hitting, ethereal metal together as a community. The original concept was a huge lounge bar, cinema, and merch area for fans to congregate, as well as an area to meet some of War of Being’s characters and soak in its story. But why stop there?
