As MetalSucks.net had already reported earlier, TesseracT have announced their plans to release their 27 minute epic 'Concealing Fate' as an EP on their website. The news had already been confirmed unofficially on TotalRock.com radio earlier this afternoon. Their long awaited debut full-length album 'One' will be released in 2011.

About this, the band said: "It's obvious that some people are frustrated that we are not releasing "One" this year. But, unfortunately Century Media won’t put the album out right now. This is due to various marketing reasons, that we won‘t go into right here and now. However, we implored them to release something for you guys, since you’ve been waiting for so long to hear these new songs. And eventually, they kindly agreed. Thus, the Concealing Fate EP was created."

The EP is slated for release on October 12th, and will be available for preorder on the Century Media Records webstore starting from tomorrow.
