"We're very excited to be working with the eOne team, their experience and well rounded ability will certainly help us grow in our biggest market", says TesseracT frontman Dan Tompkins. "The band is really looking forward to making the most of utilizing the resources that eOne has to offer and can't wait to start this album cycle".
