+Justin Nuckolls To compare this and God forbid prefer this over Lateralus is pure blasphemy. Not in the same universe with Tool. I Love Tool (obviously) and want to feel these guys, but after several listens it just seems more like glam rock or something. They are great musicians. The sound is tight. Just doesn't feel nearly as soul stirring to me as Tool.
I love it. It's different. The smooth vocals work well with it. Sometimes I get sick of the growling in metal and it's nice to have some melody. So long as the lyrics have depth and the music is well constructed and different, then I have no issues.
+Doug Sears, wtf are you talking about mate?!?! I hate that guy from DT, he's in my top 1 of most annoying vocalists like.. ever. Ashe is the complete opposite - has a voice that I really love.
Christian of LiqueScent James LaBrie's early performances (90s, best performance to me is on Awake) were really good actually. He's a bit much sometimes though. And I agree, Ashe is in no way similar
Don't listen specifically for the vocals, think of them as secondary to the instrumental. Doing this allows you to appreciate and enjoy the music more. I feel that's the way it was intended as well, for the vocals not to be a central piece of the album but they all mesh together in beautiful harmony.
I’m currently struggling with alcoholism and the (even unintentional) allegory to being lost on the moors and finally finding a road.. and the little look the actor gives as to how silly it was in the first place.. and then taking a big deep breath.. I can relate.. tesseract for the win 🎉
Am I the only one who loves both singers equally and is crazy mad about their music in the same amount? I am SO GRATEFUL for this music, I mean, come on, this band just takes music to another level, just think about the talent both of these singers have, Ashe and Dan, omg...
Hey late reply here friend! I preferred and prefer Daniel. But if he never came back and Ashe stayed I wouldn't have lost track of the band. I enjoy the singing in this song immensely. But Concealing Fate is a masterpiece and Daniel helped write. Ashe didn't. That being said I watched Ashe perform most of it live once and he was fantastic. So I wish he would scream a bit or find something similar to do. But he rocked it. And in person he was so nice. I saw them in Miami FL of all places years ago. I pre-ordered ONE and got a special T shirt that was limited release. I wore it to the show and the band was well received but could still go to the bar and hang. I went up all excited like wearing my shirt to meet them thinking they would enjoy this Miami boy wearing the limited release Tshirt from a package not sold to Americans (I loved Concealing Fate so much I paid for this ONE package). Surprisingly the band was like "Oh yeah, cool, uh...." But Ashe was like "Wow we have a real fan that's great man did you like the show? How did I do for part 6?" And I was floored. I told him the truth, he rocked it, and said I'm happy you can take the band in any direction and we took pictures. I remember being upset the rest of the band didn't care. I paid massive postage for that! Hehehe. Then not long later, Ashe was gone. I'm happy Dan is back. I love him. But Ashe was definitely a good performer and good man.

Yanno I USED to hate this shit. Periphery, Tesseract, all of it. Djent was the bane of my life. As much as I love thrashy riffs and screaming, I listened to this specific song and the abnormal rhythms and almost mysteriousness of it just got to me. I listen to Djent as well as Behemoth to megadeth to revocation to cannibal corpse. Opening your mind to new genres of metal makes it a much more powerful genre.
Martin McDowell my dear fellow, That might be the beginning of your Venture throughout the fantastic wideness of Music, from Extreme Metal to Folk, from Pop to Crust Punk, from Classic and Jazz to Indie and Alternative, and Ending in an Experimental Fusion of them above.
Martin McDowell They don’t have clean vocals but if you don’t already know them I’d suggest checking out Vildjharta. Both their albums are very unique and heavy as hell, one of the only bands I can say uses the ‘djent’ tone perfectly to their advantage for their sound.
After the Burial did it for me. Specifically when their guitarists began to show their amazing abilities to create melodies and outright beautiful licks on top of the constant heavy polyrhythms they have always had. They achieve all of this WITHOUT settling for clean vocal sections that seem like a lazy way to be labelled a "progressive metal" band. The album Wolves Within is a masterpiece. Disconnect is a song that changed my perspective on djent and even metal as a whole
This band is genius. As a musician, song writer, composer of 17 years I can contest to how hard it is to arrange different signatures together in cohesion as to have it make sense to the listener. Bands like meshuggah are great in their own respect. However, some people can perceive them as being redundant, as its usually looped. Its great to head bang to if that's what your in the mood for. All music has a purpose and is served to the listener dependent on the the nature of your mood, style, or taste. Nothing is "better" just preferred. "True" musicians that are not conceded will have a level of respect for all colors of music. For me, bands like Tesseract hits home. It has elements of many styles and has tuns of moving parts that keeps me tuned. If you consider yourself a "true" musician, then you have to at least respect what they are doing, even if you don't prefer this particular style. OUT!
Meh, this song is essentially weird-time signature nu-metal. I have to learn it for a buddy and it's just annoying af. The riffs are almost boringly simple, it just appeals to math nerds.
Dude really said Meshuggah is looped lmao By the way, this (and Meshuggah) are 4/4. Not an odd time signature at all. You might perceive it differently because of the different rhythms, but it's 4/4. It sounds even cooler when you listen to it in 4/4 context, because instead of hearing the same "odd" riff played over and over (probably why you hear it as "looped"), you hear a different riff every time because your mind can "accent" a different note every time it's played.
troyshw Intro riff is a bt tricky cuz the kick/snare and cymbals are two different timings, and overall has a 14 note cycle. Most of the riffs are displacing polyrhythms, so I just follow the drummer.
Ashe is probably one of the greatest singers I've ever seen live. One of the few in the metal community who can command a room with only his voice and no instruments. I got to see him do warm ups... That was eye opening.
The beautiful nature of the Eucharist is like a Tesseract that brings us back in time with John the Apostle & the Virgin Mary. The Holy Trinity is the central Mystery of our Catholic Faith. Our emotions are heaviest when they are weighed with guilt. Kindness lightens the load. Be kind to each other, people. ❤
Man TesseracT is such a great band I've been hooked ever since my older brother introduced me to them back in 2011 when their first album. I love this song and i still can't get over how amazing of reality-calabi yau is man that sax solo with the djent riffs is just something else. every song and album TesseracT has put out has just been a masterpiece
Saw them with Animals as Leaders headlined by BTBAM. It was like they were reading my diary or something because at that time all I listened to was AAL, Colors and Alaska, and Concealing Fate.
Is 'Altered State' the most perfect album ever written? Speaking for myself, I think so! TesseracT shows a new level of maturity and melodic presentation in modern music, very inspiring stuff. The gift they share with the world is something to be treasured for how great it really is.
@@Xephyra idk.. maybe start with bitches brew by miles davis or the glowing man by swans. pr check out some of the later beatles records like abbey road
i found tesseract when i was making up a lot of homework. i didn't just listen to the song though. i was looking through some other music, and in the related videos, i saw "tesseract - altered state" and i decided that i'd listen to the whole thing because the name sounded cool. i have never been so satisfied listening to an album all the way through. this is beautiful.
Surreal band. They have it all from one of the most gifted and versatile singers, same goes for the nusicians and what about the lyrics and atmosphere... Love them.
Honestly I'd give Polaris another listen or two if I was you. It's an album that that takes a while to absorb. As with all TesseracT albums you also need to listen all the way through, the way it was meant to be.
I feel like I just got the rugged pulled out from under me..... I came across this band only 3 days ago and INSTANTLY fell in love with this song. I downloaded the entire album and then find out the vocalist is gone????? I heard the replacement/retread vocalist and it's a major step backwards, IMO. It was the vocals that got my attention, and I'm a drummer!!!
Tyler LaGrange Like I said, I just discovered this band in the past week or 2, so it's not as if I'm all broken up over the change. I was absolutely blown away by Ashe's vocals, and the writing is unreal on this album. Not sure if Ashe did the writing, but if so, he's irreplacable from that standpoint. I've seen some videos with Daniel and he's definitely a good singer. As long as they don't go back to the screaming, I'll give him a chance(I hate the screaming LOL). As a drummer, Jay is enough to keep me interested. I LOVE his playing.
I always come back to my origins and the band's that make remarkable work like this one. This one song hits differently since its release and everytime I listen to it through the years. Perfection
Thanks to streaming I was exposed to TessarecT and was amazed how Nocture is so really lifting my listening experience. Jay Postones is so excellent in its own rights. I thought I heared it all with Gavin Harrison but there is further to experience. When I first heared the song from the streaming plattform, I was not sure if the song was sung by a women because it was so on high notes at the beginning that I needed to see the video to get the correct association. And honestly Ashe sounds so amazing. All of them do!
This song is really great, it's been stuck in my head for weeks. Just saw this video today. That is some impressive range the vocalist has, I'm stunned.
Okay, this is the first time hearing this song and band. This was the first song that came up when I looked up the band. I love heavy music to death, but every time I hear a good riff or nice sounding band, it's always ruined by the sound of some dude getting murdered over top of the sound. I know the metal genre is known for being angry, but I'd much prefer to hear the lyrics and have them tell a story or a message than just listen to the guttural noise of some guy with tuberculosis. I'm glad I came across a band that proves not all of metal is like that stereotype. I had almost lost hope finding a new band like this. If anyone knows of any more bands that fit that, please let me know. :)
Austin Stahley I don't see unclean vocals as conveyance for anger alone. Sometimes it conveys frustration, desperation, longing, sorrow, joy even. For me, after years and years of listening, unclean vocals are just a way of adding power to any emotion being conveyed by the music and lyrics
Big fan of Tesseract right from the start but love them even more since Ashe joined the group. Saw these live in Manchester on the 19th and was so awesome. It sounded incredible amazin live. Need to go see these live vocals they sound just insanely good and to meet Ashe the vocalist after the show was well good nice bloke too. Going to see the band again in Feb :-)
I've seen them live today in hamburg and seriously those guys are beast, especially the singer does it so perfectly i was almost eager to catch him just doing lypsinc... but my jaw dropped after I realized he really sang this way. Incredible,
He is incredible! I went to Karlsruhe, and decided I need to see them again in Cologne, haha. He really delivers something special with his vocal performance.
im in the minority for sure but I am really missing Ashe's vocals on polaris i feel like he could've taken it to a whole new level just like with altered state. dnt get me wrong I am a huge fan of Dan just altered state changed my life lol
I'm in the same boat. I felt Ashe was a critical piece to this band and never get tired of listening to his astounding vocals. I guess beggars can't be choosers though. I wish the best to Ashe and the new TesseracT.
Nah dude, I think Ashe is really reaching for the top notes in this song, so much so that at times it sounds a bit painful. Perhaps it's more down to the production, they could have stuck some reverb in there to make it sound better, I dunno I'm not a producer :p I think Dan is a stronger talent. Love Ashe's vocals at 2:53 though, gives me chills.
Aww, man, this singer... He's golden. I'm really sad that he's gone now. Though I'll still give TesseracT a chance with Daniel, "Altered State" raised the bar almost impossibly high. In any case, I'll have to keep up with Ashe, and whatever TesseracT does, I just hope to god they don't choose to blend in with all these other "djent" kids nowadays.
Just saw these guys at Glasgow supporting Karnivool on the weekend and I kid you not they sound absolutely perfect live. Had a chance to meet the vocalist Ashe after the show and he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. They are definitely worth seeing live!
For an amatorial drummer like me, formed with the "simple and rounded" fills of Portnoy, Peart, Harrison ecc..., the first 13 seconds of the song are a nightmare. So slow, but so detached within hands and foot, and from the hits on the guitars
I love a clean and bright vocals fussed with heavy djent sound of guitars, heavy bass and drums.... instead of complain every band, enjoy the differences between!
@@_downyblue you're stereotyping metal by saying that, metal isn't categorized by the vocals, never has been. Some genres are, but not metal as a whole. Listen to Thornhill and ERRA's clean vocalist, theres plenty of metal out there for beautiful clean vocals.
@@sarcasm4371 i said that because he sounds like christopher cross, not because i have any prejudice against metal singers lol. dont make an argument where there isnt one.
I can confidently say that the moment at 3:14 is heights above anything else i have ever heard. This moment, how it's engineered sonically, how the transient jumps at you, and the guitar butters your ear drums ... and Ashe's falsetto? How it starts as a scream and then that gorgeous falsetto joins in a few bits later ... im sad that my musical abilities don't allow me to do this shit. But im thankful for Tesseract. Praise tesseract pls. praise.
This band has balls more than a deathcore band the message and the instrumentation make the difference the voice is exceptional and the time pattern make me have a seisure
1nf3rnal D3str0y3r In deathcore language: gorgorowosorifoegoreogoeeososgoeaaoejsjaoworivje Uhh, not exactly sure what you meant there. I’ll leave you to your cave, and your neighbors, Mr. Flintstone.
I do admire guys who create such music but still I admire much more those who want to listen to such stuff. They should pay people for listening to this.
This is a killer song and I think the vocals are awesome. It's about time there's some good clean vocals in metal. I still like the other stuff but this takes ball in my opinion and they nail it.
went to see the mighty Devin Townsend earlier this year, and this band supported him. My first experience of TesseracT was live and I was extremely impressed. listening to them more and more ;~)
This is players music, and for the music minded. To listen is to understand, to understand is to appreciate. No surprise that the majority of negative comments probably come from metalcore douchers that love cliche verses and pitchy auto-tuned chorus'. Tesseract has restored my faith in music. I would love to see them with Oh Sleeper, Proceed & The Cold Harbour (UK). Lineup of the Century.
Daniel Ryder Hey man, I love this band and actual metalcore Like kse, parkway drive, abr, and as I lay dying. That auto tuned shitfest like bmth needs to stop though.
the leads in this song are flawless. I've seen so many guitar covers and no one plays the leads and I can't figure out how to play them either. No tabs. Some straight 5th dimension skills.
From a purely objective standpoint, setting aside style and genre, his voice is far better than the vast majority of singers in any genre, and certainly it outshines that of most metal singers. That's really not giving him enough credit: I can't think of a single better singer than him in the metal genre, to include Keenan, Cobain, Lucker, etc.
I wasn't into these guys right away just because I was used to harsher vocals, but one of their songs from Polaris recently appeared in the 'Got Djent?' playlist from Spotify and I was like "wtf, I need this in my life".
I wish he joined the band again... I miss this voice so much It's not the same in Voices from the Fuselage.. In TesseracT it just.. it's literally a mind orgasm whenever you hear his cleanly smooth high pitched voice in conjunction with all of the other instruments.
this happens to be a great song and I love this band. Everything doesn't have to be scream and growl, although it's needed from time to time in certain songs. Nothing wrong with just singing.
is it just me or is Altered State the best metal album of all time? Seriously, I can't enjoy any prog metal or djent the same way after hearing that album. Nothing compares
I listen to a lot of Thy Art Is Murder and Lamb of God and after having seen so many bands ruin a solid melody with eary, almost autotuned clean vocals, i can honestly say that this band is one of the few that manage to properly blend clean and heavy. I love it.
This song has to be one of my favorites this year. Fucking awesome! Very soothing compared to the chaos in modern metal, which I love but I fade to this band when I need to calm my mind.
Man, what a great song!

I just have no words to describe how this song makes me feel. TesseracT always knows how to heal my wounds.
This was one of the greatest live musical experiences of my life.
Saw them with Animals as Leaders headlined by BTBAM. It was like they were reading my diary or something because at that time all I listened to was AAL, Colors and Alaska, and Concealing Fate.
Me too
WOW. There is all kinds of complexity in this. This is the first time I have ever heard of these guys, and I am seriously impressed. VERY cool.
Is 'Altered State' the most perfect album ever written? Speaking for myself, I think so! TesseracT shows a new level of maturity and melodic presentation in modern music, very inspiring stuff. The gift they share with the world is something to be treasured for how great it really is.
Along with Images & Words, in my humble opinion. Them both in the same level.
It is definitely up there with the best. It is perfect from start to finish.
try to listen something different than prog metal lmao
@@slawaxas such as?
@@Xephyra idk.. maybe start with bitches brew by miles davis or the glowing man by swans. pr check out some of the later beatles records like abbey road
i found tesseract when i was making up a lot of homework. i didn't just listen to the song though. i was looking through some other music, and in the related videos, i saw "tesseract - altered state" and i decided that i'd listen to the whole thing because the name sounded cool. i have never been so satisfied listening to an album all the way through. this is beautiful.
Which was cool? Band name or album name?
The crescendo at the end of this song is stunning.
I miss Ashe. His voice is just perfect.
+demoncleaner80 Not perfect, but his voice did suit the band. Ashe's other project sound really mediocre on the other hand.
Always call this "justin timberdjent"
@@carnivorehitman lmfao
@The Elven Realm - Colin OBrien agree
yes man... what a shame they got the former singer :(
this song is one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard
The rythym and the groove of this song is immaculate
His voice is just so...so soothing, and yet this song would be epic as the background for some sort of montage
Surreal band. They have it all from one of the most gifted and versatile singers, same goes for the nusicians and what about the lyrics and atmosphere... Love them.
This is phenomenal. "Altered State" was a masterpiece. "Polaris" was a snoozefest. Bring this vocalist back.
Honestly I'd give Polaris another listen or two if I was you. It's an album that that takes a while to absorb. As with all TesseracT albums you also need to listen all the way through, the way it was meant to be.
I feel like I just got the rugged pulled out from under me..... I came across this band only 3 days ago and INSTANTLY fell in love with this song. I downloaded the entire album and then find out the vocalist is gone????? I heard the replacement/retread vocalist and it's a major step backwards, IMO. It was the vocals that got my attention, and I'm a drummer!!!
Patience is a virtue
He couldn't sing in key live.
That's a shame.... The album is amazing!!
Nathan Redmon Ashe O'Hara really did sound great on this album, but I think Dan Tompkins will be back with a bang.
Tyler LaGrange Like I said, I just discovered this band in the past week or 2, so it's not as if I'm all broken up over the change. I was absolutely blown away by Ashe's vocals, and the writing is unreal on this album. Not sure if Ashe did the writing, but if so, he's irreplacable from that standpoint. I've seen some videos with Daniel and he's definitely a good singer. As long as they don't go back to the screaming, I'll give him a chance(I hate the screaming LOL). As a drummer, Jay is enough to keep me interested. I LOVE his playing.
I always come back to my origins and the band's that make remarkable work like this one. This one song hits differently since its release and everytime I listen to it through the years. Perfection
Recently discovered this band and I'm obsessed with their music!
Thanks to streaming I was exposed to TessarecT and was amazed how Nocture is so really lifting my listening experience. Jay Postones is so excellent in its own rights. I thought I heared it all with Gavin Harrison but there is further to experience. When I first heared the song from the streaming plattform, I was not sure if the song was sung by a women because it was so on high notes at the beginning that I needed to see the video to get the correct association. And honestly Ashe sounds so amazing. All of them do!
Tesseract getting me through 2020
Génial !! là je suis a fond, super musiciens, super batteur, super voix, super music !!!
This song is really great, it's been stuck in my head for weeks. Just saw this video today. That is some impressive range the vocalist has, I'm stunned.
Okay, this is the first time hearing this song and band. This was the first song that came up when I looked up the band. I love heavy music to death, but every time I hear a good riff or nice sounding band, it's always ruined by the sound of some dude getting murdered over top of the sound. I know the metal genre is known for being angry, but I'd much prefer to hear the lyrics and have them tell a story or a message than just listen to the guttural noise of some guy with tuberculosis. I'm glad I came across a band that proves not all of metal is like that stereotype. I had almost lost hope finding a new band like this. If anyone knows of any more bands that fit that, please let me know. :)
Austin Stahley try whitechapel, they employ some beautiful cleans in their songs
AILD2710 Omfg lol
AILD2710 Haha you savage
Austin Stahley I don't see unclean vocals as conveyance for anger alone. Sometimes it conveys frustration, desperation, longing, sorrow, joy even. For me, after years and years of listening, unclean vocals are just a way of adding power to any emotion being conveyed by the music and lyrics
Dylan Martyn
It is pure emotion.
Big fan of Tesseract right from the start but love them even more since Ashe joined the group. Saw these live in Manchester on the 19th and was so awesome. It sounded incredible amazin live. Need to go see these live vocals they sound just insanely good and to meet Ashe the vocalist after the show was well good nice bloke too. Going to see the band again in Feb :-)

This is the first time I've laughed out loud at a comment hahahha
Who is here in 2022? It's been so many years, still can't get over this song!
Video Caption: Bearded man trips on shrooms in middle of nowhere with djenty-ass music?
Ha!
exactly :D
This is forever a masterpiece.
I've seen them live today in hamburg and seriously those guys are beast, especially the singer does it so perfectly i was almost eager to catch him just doing lypsinc... but my jaw dropped after I realized he really sang this way. Incredible,
He is incredible! I went to Karlsruhe, and decided I need to see them again in Cologne, haha. He really delivers something special with his vocal performance.
im in the minority for sure but I am really missing Ashe's vocals on polaris i feel like he could've taken it to a whole new level just like with altered state. dnt get me wrong I am a huge fan of Dan just altered state changed my life lol
I'm in the same boat. I felt Ashe was a critical piece to this band and never get tired of listening to his astounding vocals. I guess beggars can't be choosers though. I wish the best to Ashe and the new TesseracT.
same here! i miss Ashe's voice sooo much
Nah dude, I think Ashe is really reaching for the top notes in this song, so much so that at times it sounds a bit painful. Perhaps it's more down to the production, they could have stuck some reverb in there to make it sound better, I dunno I'm not a producer :p I think Dan is a stronger talent. Love Ashe's vocals at 2:53 though, gives me chills.
Dan is way better live though
i agree so much. hes amazing... i miss him
This is revolutionary.
+Isaac Shemp Nope
+StatusEvo Sipe
Aww, man, this singer... He's golden. I'm really sad that he's gone now. Though I'll still give TesseracT a chance with Daniel, "Altered State" raised the bar almost impossibly high. In any case, I'll have to keep up with Ashe, and whatever TesseracT does, I just hope to god they don't choose to blend in with all these other "djent" kids nowadays.
Just saw these guys at Glasgow supporting Karnivool on the weekend and I kid you not they sound absolutely perfect live. Had a chance to meet the vocalist Ashe after the show and he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. They are definitely worth seeing live!
For an amatorial drummer like me, formed with the "simple and rounded" fills of Portnoy, Peart, Harrison ecc..., the first 13 seconds of the song are a nightmare. So slow, but so detached within hands and foot, and from the hits on the guitars
I can definently seeing this band get pretty popular in the next 10 years.
Checking in
Well guess what...
HOW DID I NOT HEAR THIS BAND UNTIL NOW? AUGH SO GOOD. HIS VOICE IS LIKE SILK!
Some sweet polyrhythms going on here
Full clean vocal...
Full djent...
nice...
unique...
smooth...
different...
Harmonies...
etc
Love the harmonies on the heavy parts! This is rock music ✊🏽🫡
My jaw dropped when the singer "Ashe" opened his mouth! What a voice!
I love a clean and bright vocals fussed with heavy djent sound of guitars, heavy bass and drums.... instead of complain every band, enjoy the differences between!
Am I the only one who loves his voice? It's..Surprisingly beautiful.. In my opinion.
Don't hate.
yes
How dare you love his voice.
its the most unmetal voice ive heard as a new metal guy but god i love it
@@_downyblue you're stereotyping metal by saying that, metal isn't categorized by the vocals, never has been. Some genres are, but not metal as a whole. Listen to Thornhill and ERRA's clean vocalist, theres plenty of metal out there for beautiful clean vocals.
@@sarcasm4371 i said that because he sounds like christopher cross, not because i have any prejudice against metal singers lol. dont make an argument where there isnt one.
Their sound is so good!!!! So full. So large. I haven't heard a band sound so big in so long. And I have been listening to prog for quite a while too.
I can confidently say that the moment at 3:14 is heights above anything else i have ever heard. This moment, how it's engineered sonically, how the transient jumps at you, and the guitar butters your ear drums ... and Ashe's falsetto? How it starts as a scream and then that gorgeous falsetto joins in a few bits later ...
im sad that my musical abilities don't allow me to do this shit. But im thankful for Tesseract. Praise tesseract pls. praise.
God, his voice is amazing
This band has balls more than a deathcore band the message and the instrumentation make the difference the voice is exceptional and the time pattern make me have a seisure
Fuck off dude,deathcore rules

Uhh, not exactly sure what you meant there. I’ll leave you to your cave, and your neighbors, Mr. Flintstone.
@@nfrnalDstryr Lol deathcore it's dead
@@prodbyjeremiah97 no its not its just evolved into even better shit like aliencore and incorporated into slam
@@prodbyjeremiah97 clean vocals sound so gay.. some bands can pull it off but i couldnt just only listen to that
This was the song that made you go "oh yeah, "djent" can still actually be good." Life time Tesseract fan here!
I do admire guys who create such music but still I admire much more those who want to listen to such stuff. They should pay people for listening to this.
Wow! First time ever hearing from this band. Amazing!
This is a killer song and I think the vocals are awesome. It's about time there's some good clean vocals in metal. I still like the other stuff but this takes ball in my opinion and they nail it.
Esta banda es la combinación mas perfecta de complejidad y musicalidad. Sus canciones son verdaderos orgasmos auditivos.
One of my Bands of 2013. Looking forward to seeing them support Karnivool.
That guitar melody at 2:40 is completly out of this world 🔥
Absolutely love this band, especially this song!!!!
Awesome video. I'm so glad these guys are back in action.
Feels great to discover more 'djent' bands
Not just djent bands! But good djent. Not that boring stuff.
Not just djent bands! But one of the earliest djent bands.
I can hit _every_ syncopation in the intro slapping me knee. AMA
Love this song!!! Love this band!!! The vocals and arrangement are phenomenal.
went to see the mighty Devin Townsend earlier this year,
and this band supported him.
My first experience of TesseracT was live
and I was extremely impressed.
listening to them more and more
;~)
Those are some great vocals.
WAKE ME UP
CAN'T WAKE UP
Somebody pointed that out now i need that mash-up.
This is players music, and for the music minded. To listen is to understand, to understand is to appreciate. No surprise that the majority of negative comments probably come from metalcore douchers that love cliche verses and pitchy auto-tuned chorus'. Tesseract has restored my faith in music. I would love to see them with Oh Sleeper, Proceed & The Cold Harbour (UK). Lineup of the Century.
Or guys who worship Cannibal Corpse.
Daniel Ryder Hey man, I love this band and actual metalcore Like kse, parkway drive, abr, and as I lay dying. That auto tuned shitfest like bmth needs to stop though.
the leads in this song are flawless. I've seen so many guitar covers and no one plays the leads and I can't figure out how to play them either. No tabs. Some straight 5th dimension skills.
From a purely objective standpoint, setting aside style and genre, his voice is far better than the vast majority of singers in any genre, and certainly it outshines that of most metal singers. That's really not giving him enough credit: I can't think of a single better singer than him in the metal genre, to include Keenan, Cobain, Lucker, etc.
I wasn't into these guys right away just because I was used to harsher vocals, but one of their songs from Polaris recently appeared in the 'Got Djent?' playlist from Spotify and I was like "wtf, I need this in my life".
this song is a masterpiece immortalized by jays drumming
Ashe is brilliant! This is their best album ever.
I wish he joined the band again... I miss this voice so much
It's not the same in Voices from the Fuselage.. In TesseracT it just.. it's literally a mind orgasm whenever you hear his cleanly smooth high pitched voice in conjunction with all of the other instruments.
This tune sends chills down my spine. stunning still ....
this happens to be a great song and I love this band. Everything doesn't have to be scream and growl, although it's needed from time to time in certain songs. Nothing wrong with just singing.
Its just like sex. If u dont use some lube, its hurting both.
His voice is so beautiful♥️
I'm so excited to see these guys for the first time this September.
Leno1971 they're the greatest!!! ♡
The show was, well, like you said, the greatest! Shame they were the opening act, I would have loved a full 2 hour show. Maybe next time.
This is one of those songs that is so close to perfect that it never gets old
is it just me or is Altered State the best metal album of all time? Seriously, I can't enjoy any prog metal or djent the same way after hearing that album. Nothing compares
The best song i m russian man snd its so music top i m listening everytime it fine 🔥🤗😀🎶👍🤘💪припев огонь ребята !!!
I listen to a lot of Thy Art Is Murder and Lamb of God and after having seen so many bands ruin a solid melody with eary, almost autotuned clean vocals, i can honestly say that this band is one of the few that manage to properly blend clean and heavy. I love it.
wow, great music and fantastic vocal
08.06.2019 - Comendatio Music Fest, Portugal 🖤
One of the best days of my life. Saw Tesseract live. Fucking beautiful.
Love this band so much. 🖤
This song has to be one of my favorites this year. Fucking awesome! Very soothing compared to the chaos in modern metal, which I love but I fade to this band when I need to calm my mind.
