you fully deserve it! rarely if ever have I witnessed such a good interweaving of the image with the music. of the melody itself, I can't even say which one is on another level. congratulations everyone!!!!!!!
My best friend died very unexpectedly shortly after you released this song. It was the last thing that I sent him... He was a huge fan of your music. So it comforts me a little that he was able to enjoy some very nice tunes in his last days... I really liked you before but now even more and I will always remember this song as a tribute to a man who ultimately changed my life. If I will ever be able to see you live I hope you will play this one. Although I will cry a lot but who cares... R.I.P. Dennis, I will always love you
Yo my team and I created the VFX of the Samurai scenes! We created the entire thing in UE5 and documented the whole making-of next week! Huge congrats to the whole team, the directors at Found Format for the kickass vision, and to the incredible world TesseracT has created
This is the TesseracT I've been longing for. Unafraid to make an 11 minute song that isn't rushed, has room/time to breathe, simmer. Leaves openings to just get in a trance. Haven't felt this way since One and Altered State. Thank you, TesseracT!
I liked Atered State very much, but the following albums didn't do much for me. I can't say they were bad, but I felt like something was missing. I hope this new release will change it!
The bass tone. The real drums. The synths. Dan’s vocals. The djenttttttt. What a return. Feels like the best aspects of every previous album combined. Can’t wait for more!!
@@milocabral7428 same here. I play (albeit poorly) and prefer finger method, but the attack of a pick is what this song needed, so that's what he did. Such a pro
It’s remarkable how much better Dan’s voice sounds than ever. I can’t recall him ever hitting lows like that. And to still keep that angelic ass voice too. Unbelievable stuff.
For a second there I thought Will Ramos had him beat vocally...and while he is an excellent singer and vocalist himself (cleans that he hardly ever shows), this just shows how much of a master Dan is.
Dan has grown exponentially since his return to Tesseract and I don’t think he’s hit his peak yet. I’ve always been a guitar guy, but I have to say I have really fallen in love with Amos’ bass playing. He stands out to me as one of the most creative and dynamic bassists in my lifetime. His parts add so much to their sound. Every member is an amazing talent. Tesseract is truly a gift to the music world.
Thank you all for your responses to this video, and for helping it reach new eyes and ears 🤘🤘- I hope to catch you at one of the shows on the world tour!
The second half of this song, my god it might be some of the best TesseracT has ever released. The building tension, the aggression, heavy hits on the snare. Then the soothing vocals, the sorrowful lyrics, the comforting guitars...... An absolute masterpiece in every sense of the word. THIS is why we had to wait over 5 years.

I was feeling very dispassionate towards Daniel's vocals after the last two albums, but I couldn't not love what he did here, the unexpected low growls, the harmonization of some of his lines, and the sinister/almost robotic voice at the "tomorrow came for me" line (it's like he's interpreting a character, and I love that kind of shit).

I've listened to this song multiple times a day, ever since it released. This may be my new favorite song from TesseracT. Cannot wait for the full album release!

@@idxrider right. Way to hard to beat Lament, its also one of my favorites. Speaking of which, that whole album is otherworldly and as well as my favorite album from them.. But I seriously cannot wait for this one now. Woooo! 😤
Goddamn those low screams scared the crap out of me! Awesome to see Dan branching out further and adding new skills to his already mind blowing arsenal! Also those tones, and the mix!
Vildhjarta dropped an album after a decade of silence, Veil of Maya returned to their heavy roots, Circle of Contempt is finally working on a new album and now TesseracT comes around the corner swingin' with "One" vibes. This truely is the djent renaissance I've been waiting for ages!
Again, Tesseract remind us they are on top of the game, continue to push the envelope, and have set the bar that much higher. The last 5 years have been very long, but this is without a doubt, peak Tesseract. 10/10.
4,600 views in one hour! Should be millions!! Tesseract is so underrated it’s criminal! Well done for producing such an epic masterpiece boys. Can’t wait for the full album.
Lyrics: In the beginning I was told That the life in you ran cold My tears turned to dread With words of life and death I was sold a lie My future in disguise You chose to be deviant Always deviant Always desperate Binding, debased conscience Soul mate, faceless Now stare into the light Circling beyond To never release the grip or pressure The rising intent To birth and release the darkness within Tear the mask away Breathe another way Tear the mask away To uncomplicate the patterns that we all feel Keep the flames at bay Live another day Tear the mask away Facing one another Now elevate my understanding My body's fading Tomorrow came for me Rushing in and out of me I want it all Give me everything now Tear the mask away Facing one another Now elevate my understanding Elevate my understanding Don't exacerbate my perception A hidden sign amidst the cold A serpent's eye, with grinning teeth beneath it A cold surprise you won't deny You pay the price and keep it I sold a lie amidst the cold, a sudden cry I sold a lie amidst the cold, running high Grit your teeth and bear it A faint surprise, overtly bold Stand your ground and mean it I sold a lie amidst the cold, running high I sold a lie amidst the cold, running high Grit your teeth and bear it The words I whispered followed you They lit a light in you That you might not have found To dream of flowing locks untwisted And auburn eyes glistening as you weep The words that I whispered when it all began Did they shine a light on you you don't understand? To dream of flowing locks untwisted and stormy And auburn eyes glistening as you weep Raise your eyes, notice me Raise your eyes, notice me
Masterclass for the metal community. These guys just keep getting better over the years and honestly this track just proves it. Such a beautiful piece of art.
In the beginning I was told / That the life in you ran cold // My tears turned to dread / With words of life and death // I was sold a lie / My future in disguise // You chose to be deviant / Always deviant // Always desperate / Binding // Debased conscience / Soul mate // Faceless / Now stare into the light // Circling beyond / To never release the grip and pressure // The rising intent / To birth and release the darkness within // Tear the mask away // Breathe another way / Tear the mask away // To uncomplicate the patterns / That we all feel // Keep the flames at bay / Live another day // Tear the mask away // Facing one another / Now elevate my understanding // My body’s fading // Tomorrow came for me / Rushing in and out of me // I want it all / Give me everything now // Tear the mask away // Facing one another / Now elevate my understanding // Elevate my understanding / Don’t exacerbate my perception // A hidden sign amidst the cold // A serpent's eye / With grinning teeth beneath it // A cold surprise you won’t deny / You pay the price and keep it // I sold a lie amidst the cold / A sudden cry // I sold a lie amidst the cold // Running high / Grit your teeth and bear it // A faint surprise, overtly bold / Stand your ground and mean it // I sold a lie amidst the cold / Running high // I sold a lie amidst the cold // Running high / Grit your teeth and bear it // The words I whispered followed you // They lit a light in you / That you might not have found // To dream of flowing locks untwisted / And auburn eyes glistening as you weep // The words that I whispered // When it all began / Did they shine a light on you // You don’t understand? / To dream of flowing locks untwisted and stormy // And auburn eyes glistening as you weep / Raise your eyes, notice me // Raise your eyes, notice me / (from: kscopemusic.bandcamp.com/album/war-of-being)
Raise your eyes, notice me Raise your eyes, notice me This is the tippity top of music humans have been able to cultivate thus far in our tireless yet fantastic existence. We don't deserve something this special, but certainly the world is better for this now existing.
at the end lyrics "raise your eyes, notice me" please take a moment to watch him and feel him and hear him. those tears running down his eyes as his soul screams those words. its esoteric. this is by far the most passionate ive seen him perform
It's amazing how rock has evolved and we are living in probably the greatest time for progresive rock and metal music. Every time I turn around there's a new album around the corner from the best minds in rock music it just gets me emotional. Cannot thank you guys enough
I so agree! We are experiencing a watershed movement for metal and progressive rock. While the world falls apart, we get to experience the best metal has to offer. Just soaking up every moment of it all.
Honestly, yes. And I'm drinking it in! Opeth fell off some, but Ne Obliviscaris took their incredible mantal. Also Tesseract and Architects and Spiritbox and Sleep Token; bands like all those guys are raising bars and pushing metal forward. I am so damn glad to be able to hear them.
Their sound is just so damn polished and defined now… The song structure is so well put together blended with their sound… it really affects the listener
What a Masterpiece. This song molds every element from Tesseract's previous albums and creates a journey that takes the listener through pure emotion. The concept, graphics, songwriting and Daniel's interpretation brings everything together creating something unique, yet familiar to every Tesseract fan. Thank you so much for delivering us so many emotions across the years, I can't wait to enjoy all the rest of the songs from the album and sing them loudly to the next year's concerts.
I'm looking forward to their new stuff. But I can honestly say that the thing I DIDN'T like about this song was that it felt like it incorporated everything that they have previously done. Not everything needs to be "for me". I'm perfectly happy skipping through the handful of their tracks that I dislike, but I don't really have that option for a kitchen-sink song like this. It's neat that they are exploring the 'Thall' sound though. I can't wait to hear the next one.
Daniel is such an underrated vocalist. I have loved him in everything from Tesseract, Haji's Kitchen, White Moth Black Butterfly and so on. Just a fantastic singer!
Hes the ultimate singer so versitile and extremely talented. His screams are haunting and his clean vocals are from the gods..my absolute favourite vocalist in this world.
The scale and quality of everything that TesseracT does is just massive!! We are so lucky to be able to enjoy what they create. Utmost respect for these lads
@@matthewpunk2012 I just meant that Tool took 13 years to release an album and the first single was 10 minutes long. They also won a Grammy for 7emptest off the same album. I really like both bands, both are masters of polyrhythms. Tool is great live, and I just got tickets to see Tesseract for the first time🤘
It is a very rare occasion that a song makes me tear up. This one did. TesseracT is just pure genius, the fall of FellSilent gave birth to 2 bands that changed my perception of music forever which I’m eternally grateful for.
That’s why Tesseract is so special IMO. In today’s world, most people struggle with attention span. So bands tend to do too much to keep them around. But not Tess. They’re not afraid to let their music breathe.
It almost reminds me of a nod to bleed. The offset triplet blasts. But it's still VERY Tesseract style rhythm, and it's not a bad thing to borrow from greatness in music. I loved that part a ton also.
I can hear the natural drums - Love it - 2:53 That kick pattern hits hard. The progression of this song almost feels like it going through the various past albums in order!
What a comeback! And there's plenty of strength to go around. The dissonant guitar chords - what a brilliant idea! It's disruptive, and that's the point, while keeping the rhythm: brilliant. The rhythm, the guitars - you get the impression of several pieces in one. And the voice! What a voice! Screaming, high-pitched, low-pitched, clear voice, and all that for 10 minutes! I've always been a fan! But now you've hit the metal scene and our hearts very, very hard.
Prog metal isn’t dead because of this huge song!!! Currently streaming it on Apple Music and oh my goodness!!!!!! Congrats on such an amazing banger peeps!
I usually always want to mention Ne Obliviscaris when talking about the greatest metal songs written (and still do!) But that doesn't change anything. I agree with you, this absolutely blew me away. Felt extascy, waves of emotion and wonder; tears. Almost spiritual. They really did something here and I'm fucking stoked to see it!
Honestly, was not sure at first. Every time I replay this it just keeps getting better and better. Songs that live on for you, are sometimes ones that you have to dig in to. What a great song, playing through my studio monitors and repeating it, impressive.
It says something when you can play a song literally 100 times and still not get sick of it. The vocals, the bass, the unbelievable drum fills there so much to this song. I'm not a huge screamo type, but in this song it's almost like a release from the tension that builds and I quite enjoy it!
It seems like a mature song. A song to crown a artistic path. A song that blends sounds of all albums: remember Concealing Fate, Of Matter, Dystopia, Juno, King, all together. Amazing!
That was all I expected it to be. Lots of throwing it back to Altered State sounding with some new vocal elements. Production is so well done as always. I’ll be buying the deluxe expanded special edition vinyl or whatever comes next.
Finally the labels are giving enough respect to the good artist to make music videos that they've been giving the numerous hacks for the last few yew years.
Takes some balls to release an 11 minute track as a single, yet it certainly did not disappoint. The first track I ever heard was Lament in 2011 from the Album "One" I instantly fell in love with TesseracT and they've been in my top 3 Bands of all time ever since. War of being has quite literally taken techniques that has made each album of tesseracts unique and perfectly blended into a Prog Metal masterpiece. This, to me, is quite possibly their best work to date! Also Manchester date falls right on my Birthday so I'm double stoked!
I’m getting that same feeling I got when I heard “One” for the first time. So beyond excited for this new album this is everything I could’ve ever hoped for from TesseracT
Don't know if I should laugh, scream or cry after hearing this... guess I'll do it all. If there ever was a theme for all humanity, Daniel should sing it!
Hold on to the good times. You might never stop hurting, but it will get easier. Certain songs still get me, because I would listen to them on the commute to see my father in his last days. It's like an ice pack for a swollen heart.
@warrenmoody Thank You so much. Yes, definitely are songs that remind you of the lived ones you have lost and can be sad, but also put a smile on ones face. We can our memories of the good times❤️
There is so much packed into this 11 minute song. Need to listen multiple times for everything to sink in. Initial thought is excellent composition, elements of the complete discography merged into this single track...... and the drum work is beyond phenomenal.
I'm being brought again to 2013 😢 it's like the first time I discovered this awesome band. The lyrics, instrument, mix, and all of the hard work they put in this masterpiece is fire, just goosebumps 🔥🔥🔥
AYO A TEN MINUTE SONG WITH HOLLYWOOD LEVEL MUSIC VIDEO??? YOU GUYS SPOILED US 😭 LOVE THE EBBS AND FLOWS OF THIS SONG MAN. YOU GUYS KEPT IT TESSERACT BUT ABSOLUTELY EVOLVED YOUR ELEMENT. LOVE IT 🙏
Had to dig for this comment myself! I guess some people just don’t have the ears for it, those melodic screams put a bow on top of an otherwise masterpiece. Dan, you and your band are prog gods!
It takes me a few listens to really grasp this song. Every time I listen to it a find something new. Every time a new experience. Every time thankful for what you have created.
On my 20th listen, and holy hell. That groove at 2:20 DOES NOT get old. What an actual masterpiece this song is. I don't understand how people have this amount of creativity, talent and utter will. Absolutely amazing. THE BOYS ARE BACK WITH AN AOTY 🔥🔥🔥
The response has been incredible. Thank you all so much ✌
Come back so I can get an updated tour shirt!
A signed one will look nice next to The Safety Fire's. Just sayin'!
Danny boy!
you fully deserve it! rarely if ever have I witnessed such a good interweaving of the image with the music. of the melody itself, I can't even say which one is on another level. congratulations everyone!!!!!!!
You gents deserve the world! Dan, I'm constantly impressed by your work. Absolutely blown away by this one! Much love to you and everyone involved!
This track is beautiful and one of the craziest vocal showcases Ive heard, man. Hope you're proud of yourself!
WE'RE SO BACK BOOOOOOOOOYS

Oh no.
He learned to scream.
Introducing Daniel Tompkins. The greatest metal vocalist of a generation.
Huh? He screamed on "One", that was 13 years ago
Yeah he's known how to scream probably forever. Just chooses to do it seldomly so when he does do it its a treat.
@malicioustactics6846 I didn't know he could scream until I heard this.
I would nominate Jón Aldará of Hamferð greatest metal vocalist of his generation. Metal vocalists have come a long way in my 45 years as a metalhead.
Love how much it is in the album compared to others
Quality stuff

IST absolutely epic and stunning video, WOW this literally blew me & my son's socks off welcome back the phenomenal TESSERACT!!!!

Not sure how they managed to merge all their previous albums into one cohesive BRUTAL sound
My thoughts exactly. It's like, how do they so perfectly recycle all their bits, but make it feel original and fresh.

@@rigolith *stupid things people say on the internet*
@@rigolith no one is comparing it to “One” by Metallica pal. Check TesseracT discography and you’ll have an answer to your unnecessary observation.
*SO HEAVY. SO BLOODY AWESOME.*
My favorite band of all time. Can't wait for new music!
Again, Tesseract remind us they are on top of the game, continue to push the envelope, and have set the bar that much higher. The last 5 years have been very long, but this is without a doubt, peak Tesseract. 10/10.
Damn that vocal transition going from the clean "always" into the screamed "desperate" at 1:51 caught me off guard in the best of ways. Very cool.
Vocals are so, so clever in this song, Dan has no limits
I caught that too. Very impressive
Easily one of my favorite vocal moments ever.
Yeaaaahhhhh dude
Thats the unique part for me that kept me coming back, also the instruments are completely fucking masterful the entirety of the song!
This is the heaviest TesseracT has sounded since One, and I'm here for it 🔥🔥🔥
Honestly this sounds heavier than One to me.
4,600 views in one hour! Should be millions!! Tesseract is so underrated it’s criminal! Well done for producing such an epic masterpiece boys. Can’t wait for the full album.
Well, 25k views in 4hrs, so there's that!
Dude, these guys are bullshit. This song is pure joy 🙌🙌🙌
I can’t believe they haven’t taken off more than they have. Easily one of the best, most talented bands out there.
Almost 100k views in less than 24 hours isn’t that bad tho.
Lyrics:
In the beginning I was told
That the life in you ran cold
My tears turned to dread
With words of life and death
I was sold a lie
My future in disguise
You chose to be deviant
Always deviant
Always desperate
Binding, debased conscience
Soul mate, faceless
Now stare into the light
Circling beyond
To never release the grip or pressure
The rising intent
To birth and release the darkness within
Tear the mask away
Breathe another way
Tear the mask away
To uncomplicate the patterns that we all feel
Keep the flames at bay
Live another day
Tear the mask away
Facing one another
Now elevate my understanding
My body's fading
Tomorrow came for me
Rushing in and out of me
I want it all
Give me everything now
Tear the mask away
Facing one another
Now elevate my understanding
Elevate my understanding
Don't exacerbate my perception
A hidden sign amidst the cold
A serpent's eye, with grinning teeth beneath it
A cold surprise you won't deny
You pay the price and keep it
I sold a lie amidst the cold, a sudden cry
I sold a lie amidst the cold, running high
Grit your teeth and bear it
A faint surprise, overtly bold
Stand your ground and mean it
I sold a lie amidst the cold, running high
I sold a lie amidst the cold, running high
Grit your teeth and bear it
The words I whispered followed you
They lit a light in you
That you might not have found
To dream of flowing locks untwisted
And auburn eyes glistening as you weep
The words that I whispered when it all began
Did they shine a light on you you don't understand?
To dream of flowing locks untwisted and stormy
And auburn eyes glistening as you weep
Raise your eyes, notice me
Raise your eyes, notice me
Thankyou. God bless you.
That first riff almost threw my head off my shoulders. All the hype of the last 5 years exploding in that choppy monster oh my god I love it.
Masterclass for the metal community. These guys just keep getting better over the years and honestly this track just proves it. Such a beautiful piece of art.

Thankyou 😃
Raise your eyes, notice me

This is the tippity top of music humans have been able to cultivate thus far in our tireless yet fantastic existence. We don't deserve something this special, but certainly the world is better for this now existing.
Never listened to TesseracT until I heard this song…
My reaction:
Greatest song EVER made. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a composition so flawless.
at the end lyrics "raise your eyes, notice me" please take a moment to watch him and feel him and hear him. those tears running down his eyes as his soul screams those words. its esoteric. this is by far the most passionate ive seen him perform
Heavy ❤️
You don’t know the meaning of the word esoteric
Hooray for bands that are trying to move forward in the realm of sound, rhythm, groove, and melody.
It's amazing how rock has evolved and we are living in probably the greatest time for progresive rock and metal music. Every time I turn around there's a new album around the corner from the best minds in rock music it just gets me emotional. Cannot thank you guys enough
Especially considering these guys don't get the money and notoriety they deserve.
I so agree! We are experiencing a watershed movement for metal and progressive rock. While the world falls apart, we get to experience the best metal has to offer. Just soaking up every moment of it all.
yeah man, getting emotional reading this.
@@spacechangerfreq328 rock lives on!
Honestly, yes. And I'm drinking it in! Opeth fell off some, but Ne Obliviscaris took their incredible mantal. Also Tesseract and Architects and Spiritbox and Sleep Token; bands like all those guys are raising bars and pushing metal forward. I am so damn glad to be able to hear them.
Their sound is just so damn polished and defined now…
The song structure is so well put together blended with their sound… it really affects the listener
What a Masterpiece. This song molds every element from Tesseract's previous albums and creates a journey that takes the listener through pure emotion. The concept, graphics, songwriting and Daniel's interpretation brings everything together creating something unique, yet familiar to every Tesseract fan. Thank you so much for delivering us so many emotions across the years, I can't wait to enjoy all the rest of the songs from the album and sing them loudly to the next year's concerts.
I'm looking forward to their new stuff.
But I can honestly say that the thing I DIDN'T like about this song was that it felt like it incorporated everything that they have previously done.
Not everything needs to be "for me". I'm perfectly happy skipping through the handful of their tracks that I dislike, but I don't really have that option for a kitchen-sink song like this.
It's neat that they are exploring the 'Thall' sound though.
I can't wait to hear the next one.
Daniel is such an underrated vocalist. I have loved him in everything from Tesseract, Haji's Kitchen, White Moth Black Butterfly and so on. Just a fantastic singer!
You missed Zeta, their first self titled album is one of my favourite albums of all time.
Also First Signs Of Frost, PIANO, Absent Hearts, Skyharbor, and his multiple feats in other works (Omertah, Dzyen, Cycleman, Star Monarchy, etc).
Don’t forget earthside as well!
God forbid, mate. Daniel is not anyhow underrated. He's been living on Olympus for some time already, you got my point ☝️ hopefully. Peace ✌️
Hes the ultimate singer so versitile and extremely talented. His screams are haunting and his clean vocals are from the gods..my absolute favourite vocalist in this world.
The scale and quality of everything that TesseracT does is just massive!! We are so lucky to be able to enjoy what they create. Utmost respect for these lads
This song makes me want to break in someone’s house and toast all their bread and put it back in the bag
this bangs
Slaps harder than Will Smith at The Oscars.
Tesseract is the only band that can disappear for 5 years only to then release an 11 minute banger as their first single. Love this shit
…Tool?
But yes, this an amazing single, looking forward to the new album!🤘
@@cosmicrunnerTesseracT >>> tool
@@matthewpunk2012 I just meant that Tool took 13 years to release an album and the first single was 10 minutes long. They also won a Grammy for 7emptest off the same album. I really like both bands, both are masters of polyrhythms. Tool is great live, and I just got tickets to see Tesseract for the first time🤘
It is a very rare occasion that a song makes me tear up. This one did. TesseracT is just pure genius, the fall of FellSilent gave birth to 2 bands that changed my perception of music forever which I’m eternally grateful for.
What's karnivool doing?
I just discovered Karnivool, actually. My two favorite bands in this genre.@@MrWiggnuts
9:20 is just something so unbelievably special, it's so powerful
I can’t stop replaying ittttttt
@@Iluvpie6 me too
I’m getting restless, I own two of their albums on vinyl and I’ve played Polaris a billion times this week. So excited
what do you think of utopia? is the most underated song of polaris for me...
@@dek86s utopia is a great song, still yet tho, survival and phoenix are my personal favorites.
@dek86s utopia is definitely underrated. My favorite track on the album really...the whole album is killer tho
I can't stop revisiting this video. Damn. The silence before the breakout after 9:21 is just... chilling.
That’s why Tesseract is so special IMO. In today’s world, most people struggle with attention span. So bands tend to do too much to keep them around. But not Tess. They’re not afraid to let their music breathe.
@@ThmsYT It's a journey. Everyone I have seen that watches this video don't even feel the passage of time because it's so well written.
For me it's: always DESPERATE
That moment onward literally brings me to tears and the synth in the background makes it so much more complete.
This song made me a fan of TesseracT.
Holy moly!! I was just telling my wife how we haven’t heard much about this album yesterday. STOKED!!
This one has everything we wanted, and so much more.
Great band, great song, great production quality.
Thank you for existing.
Love ya.
The screams have so much color in the tone. It is among the most amazing things ive witnessed the human voice do.
Those tesseract guitar tones are just from another world man
Vildjharta-like, but different!
2:20 is actually the nastiest, filthiest riff I have ever heard. Made me want to eat my entire house.
Based.
Wow, that extra bass pedal kick thrown in there @2:53 is sick. Loved this entire song
It almost reminds me of a nod to bleed. The offset triplet blasts. But it's still VERY Tesseract style rhythm, and it's not a bad thing to borrow from greatness in music. I loved that part a ton also.
This is how you write music. It's a journey, it's a masterpiece.
I can hear the natural drums - Love it - 2:53 That kick pattern hits hard. The progression of this song almost feels like it going through the various past albums in order!
What a comeback! And there's plenty of strength to go around. The dissonant guitar chords - what a brilliant idea! It's disruptive, and that's the point, while keeping the rhythm: brilliant. The rhythm, the guitars - you get the impression of several pieces in one. And the voice! What a voice! Screaming, high-pitched, low-pitched, clear voice, and all that for 10 minutes! I've always been a fan! But now you've hit the metal scene and our hearts very, very hard.
Prog metal isn’t dead because of this huge song!!! Currently streaming it on Apple Music and oh my goodness!!!!!!
Congrats on such an amazing banger peeps!
certified pasta cooking length music
This is probably one of the most epic metal songs ever written.
Erra - Dementia
Trivium - The Phalanx
No Question
I usually always want to mention Ne Obliviscaris when talking about the greatest metal songs written (and still do!) But that doesn't change anything. I agree with you, this absolutely blew me away. Felt extascy, waves of emotion and wonder; tears. Almost spiritual. They really did something here and I'm fucking stoked to see it!
You haven't listened to metal then.
An entire album of these sounds and vocals and riffs is going to be nuts
Honestly, was not sure at first. Every time I replay this it just keeps getting better and better. Songs that live on for you, are sometimes ones that you have to dig in to. What a great song, playing through my studio monitors and repeating it, impressive.
On the mark. It's so deep you can't take it all in one listen. Dan's screams in this are so perfect.
It says something when you can play a song literally 100 times and still not get sick of it. The vocals, the bass, the unbelievable drum fills there so much to this song. I'm not a huge screamo type, but in this song it's almost like a release from the tension that builds and I quite enjoy it!
I can't get over how good Dan's vocals are in this song. There are so many different things happening, it's insane.
It seems like a mature song. A song to crown a artistic path. A song that blends sounds of all albums: remember Concealing Fate, Of Matter, Dystopia, Juno, King, all together. Amazing!
That was all I expected it to be. Lots of throwing it back to Altered State sounding with some new vocal elements. Production is so well done as always. I’ll be buying the deluxe expanded special edition vinyl or whatever comes next.
Finally the labels are giving enough respect to the good artist to make music videos that they've been giving the numerous hacks for the last few yew years.
Takes some balls to release an 11 minute track as a single, yet it certainly did not disappoint. The first track I ever heard was Lament in 2011 from the Album "One" I instantly fell in love with TesseracT and they've been in my top 3 Bands of all time ever since. War of being has quite literally taken techniques that has made each album of tesseracts unique and perfectly blended into a Prog Metal masterpiece. This, to me, is quite possibly their best work to date! Also Manchester date falls right on my Birthday so I'm double stoked!
I’m getting that same feeling I got when I heard “One” for the first time. So beyond excited for this new album this is everything I could’ve ever hoped for from TesseracT
Don't know if I should laugh, scream or cry after hearing this... guess I'll do it all. If there ever was a theme for all humanity, Daniel should sing it!
Amazing, need this after my mum passed just under a week today...thank you guys🤘
Hold on to the good times. You might never stop hurting, but it will get easier. Certain songs still get me, because I would listen to them on the commute to see my father in his last days. It's like an ice pack for a swollen heart.
@warrenmoody Thank You so much. Yes, definitely are songs that remind you of the lived ones you have lost and can be sad, but also put a smile on ones face. We can our memories of the good times❤️
There is so much packed into this 11 minute song. Need to listen multiple times for everything to sink in. Initial thought is excellent composition, elements of the complete discography merged into this single track...... and the drum work is beyond phenomenal.
Holy fuuuuuuckin A. This is another level up from the last. How do they do it! The production is phenomenal!
I'm being brought again to 2013 😢 it's like the first time I discovered this awesome band. The lyrics, instrument, mix, and all of the hard work they put in this masterpiece is fire, just goosebumps 🔥🔥🔥
It's like condensing TesseracT's entire career into a single song and adding all the maturity of what's to come, I'm speechless.
The screams at the end are so chilling and moving
2023 just keeps getting better. All my favorite bands have released their songs this year alone. Tesseract is one of them. This year is UNREAL
Just waiting on the contortionist then my list is complete.
Karmanjakahs album was in my top 3 of 2023
AYO A TEN MINUTE SONG WITH HOLLYWOOD LEVEL MUSIC VIDEO??? YOU GUYS SPOILED US 😭
LOVE THE EBBS AND FLOWS OF THIS SONG MAN. YOU GUYS KEPT IT TESSERACT BUT ABSOLUTELY EVOLVED YOUR ELEMENT.
LOVE IT 🙏
Dan finally remembered that he has the most beautiful extreme vocals :)
Those melodic highs from 9:50 on until the end sent chils down my spine. This man is a god of vocal technique. What a song holy shit
I came here looking for this comment. The resonance in his voice when he sings “auburn eyes” at 9:44 is the single best moment in the song for me
Had to dig for this comment myself! I guess some people just don’t have the ears for it, those melodic screams put a bow on top of an otherwise masterpiece. Dan, you and your band are prog gods!
This song and music video are HUGE! This album is already well worth the wait. Good job, TesseracT!
It takes me a few listens to really grasp this song. Every time I listen to it a find something new. Every time a new experience. Every time thankful for what you have created.
Thanks for existing you guys, you literally make my life better. Your music is sweet balm to my soul.
Beautiful song boys. Huge shout out to their drumer Jay for teaching our drummer boy some of your moves.
refreshing heavy guitar with an epic samurai dual. I'll definitely take that
On my 20th listen, and holy hell. That groove at 2:20 DOES NOT get old. What an actual masterpiece this song is. I don't understand how people have this amount of creativity, talent and utter will. Absolutely amazing. THE BOYS ARE BACK WITH AN AOTY 🔥🔥🔥
This was worth the 5 year wait since their last new music, it’s nice to hear screams in their music again too. Can’t wait for the album
Was not a Tesseract fan. Am now. Great guitar tones and riffs. This is music.
I just wanted to say this is my first time hearing one of your songs and damn that was beautiful.
Enjoy the rest of their songs ❤ they are incredible!
It’s time to start talking about Jay being one of the best drummers out there…dude needs so much more recognition.
Undoubtedly
This. Is. One. Of. The. Best. Things. I've. Ever. Heard.
Fucking wow.
Best band ever
