@DanielTompkins it's such a breath of fresh air to see yourself and other members of TesseracT commenting on reaction videos- the insane levels of talent haven't gone to your heads 🤟
TesseracT has essentially created the sub genre of Djent as a whole. (Alongside Periphery and Monuments.) But you can hear the individual tastefulness and groove in every moment of heaviness with TesseracT- unlike how other bands in this scene and in metal in general just make a complicated riff to confuse the listener and call it quality… It really does take more listens than one for a first time new fan like yourself to understand, but you will. Thanks for the vid :)
Absolutely agree, there's a certain sublimeness to the heavy parts that never crosses over to needless guitar wank, which is impressive considering how technically detailed they do it. It's never a chore to get through their heavy instrumental sections. (imo) Some of their best songs are massively riff-focused, and never boring. (i particularly love Dystopia, and Eclipse for their insanely generous serving of guitar-bliss :P )
This song feels like a love letter to each of the past albums. For me I hear a lot of sonder and one. around 5:00, there’s that higher far away guitar riff that sounds like it’s from polaris and sweet vocals from altered state around 6:10. Everything just feels like a gorgeous mix. I’m so glad the kings are back
Jay is a really interesting drummer. For this style of music, you expect really elaborate fills and decoration that take up all the empty space in the song. But Jay plays with a degree of precision and restraint - kind of a controlled minimalism? He knows when to use color to fill in the space where it’s needed, but he never overdoes it. He plays FOR the song, not OVER it. I just find his style to be so tasteful and considered. And don’t get me wrong… I LOVE cats like Aric Improta or II from Sleep Token. But they play with such fire and abandon. Jay almost has more in common with drummers like Sugarfoot Moffett and Carter Beauford, in a way. Is that crazy? Obviously he’s playing a VERY different style of music, but I feel like he borrows a lot from their school of thought and discipline and applies it to a whole different genre. Great vid as always, my guy 🤘
Such a musically intense band. This is going to need a *lot* of listening to find "the pocket" in all the right places - but I think that's time well spent. Dan's vocals are perfectly on point (as always) and the production is tight as a drum. I can't get my head around how they keep all this stuff in their heads and play with *such* razor-sharp precision. Definitely going to get tickets on Friday. 🤞
I didn't even know this was out! My word is it good. Jay Postones is a fucking madman behind the kit. He streams on Twitch pretty regularly, Dan the singer does as well. Tesseract is just solid, no 2 ways about it. Great vid Steve!
Postones is indeed a madman haha. So fun. Glad you enjoyed it! Out of interest, was my reaction video your first listen or did you go check it out on its own first once your saw it existed?
So happy for TesseracT. Just from all they've been doing on socials/twitch you could tell they were ready to get back out there with new music, tours, and everything else. Are the two samurai's battling for dominance Sleep Token and TesseracT? What a time to be living with people making music like we have. PS. what's in the water in the UK to give the world this beautiful music?
Tesseract can do no wrong. Such an impressive teaser for the full album and I can’t wait for it. Leave some gotdamn syncopation for the rest of us Acle!
Meshuggah brought us the metal herta at 230bpm with Bleed "drr dun drr dun drr dun". These guys did it a little slower and it's not just the herta, it comes with other variations packed together in the riffs. For example where that djenty bit starts at 2:43, it's "drd dun drd dun drd ddd drd drd dun" and then that repeats. I know you djent boys understand this language xD
You make me laugh. LOL Your reactions are precisely mine as I heard this track in my Truck for the first time. Also? The riff at 3:57 is disgustingly perfect. Top 5 of the year for me - the remaining 4 are reserved for Sleep Token. Pick 4 - yes. Those are my top 4.
Daniel's vocals complement the music so incredibly well, shit just sends me into the stratosphere where I'm doing backflips through a thunderstorm with the ghost of Macho Man Randy Savage.
This is what happens when you haven’t done a new song in 5 years! This song is epic. You are definitely not qualified to understand that which is TessercT

Delicious x
Holy cow! Hi Dan - this track is truly astonishing. Nothing but tingles for 11 minutes.
Delicious indeed sir! Phenomenal work 👏🏻
Dan everything you touch turns into gold, keep killing it. I cant wait for September
My biggest vocal inspiration enters the chat!

Tesseract is the definition of atmosphere and emotion. New song is absolute 🔥
If TesseracT were a movie it would be Interstellar
@@salvatorescarcella7361moving through time and space
It makes me so happy to see Tesseract deliver such a banger of a track!!!!
ah yes, Tesseract, one of the only bands that can give you 4 different emotions in one song.
Dan’s vocals are so coollllll! Such range and love the exploration he did with distortion and scream vocals! And the band is perfection 🎉
Yeah, super well executed vocals. Very well honed.

Meshuggah started it all long before

Well said. Carter is a great comparison I think too. Such honed skill.
that outro is the most beautiful part of any song!! the screams compliment the guitars so well

Yeah, intense patient practice required no doubt.
I’m absolutely cooked!!
This song is insane ❤️

They are a special band.

Haha love your idea of the two fighters. Yeah, it's quite amazing what's coming out of the UK right now.
5:48 “its tool like” haha i thought he sounded EXACTLY like Maynard in that part it blew my mind for a second when i first heard the song
Tesseract have truly perfected Djent. To me, they have a sweet mix of everything that Djent should be.
Keep listening to Tesseract even if you didn't connect with this specific song as much. They are truly one of the most special bands in this scence!
MENTAL and blew me away today as well. Unexpected surprises are awesome!!!
Tesseract can do no wrong. Such an impressive teaser for the full album and I can’t wait for it.
Leave some gotdamn syncopation for the rest of us Acle!
Haha right?! Hoarding it all for themselves 😂

Yes I speak English, French, and Djent 😅
This song is an absolute masterpiece! Gna be throwing some shapes in the pit to this in Manchester!
You make me laugh. LOL

Absolute masterpiece of a song.
Divine
Great video! Would love to see your reaction/analysis on "Nocturne", my favorite song of theirs.
Some older Tesseract song reactions would be amazing!! Great video :)
Thanks!
Yeah, Jay Postones upped his footwork in this song. Those hertas are hard as fuck, mans has been listening to meshuggah lately me thinks.
I mean he did incorporate those on their first album "ONE". Especially on the Concealing Fate songs.
This song is really good, sounds much more like their Concealing Fate/One era music
This is such a bad ass song!!!!!!!
This is mental, already love this track, so so good!
Also people complaining about Sleep Token realeasing an 8 minute track... hah!
Haha yes indeed!
TesseracT is better than Sleep Token though dude
"OK. I think I'm in!" - LOL Welcome aboard brother. Sub +1
Thanks! I actually finally checked out the entire album yesterday. Will put that reaction online in the next few days 🤘🏻
Only musicians can use "disgusting" and know how good that filth is haha
Love it
"How the fuck do you write this"
"The drummer is doing God's work with that china"
"God Damn Sir"
^
Daniel's vocals complement the music so incredibly well, shit just sends me into the stratosphere where I'm doing backflips through a thunderstorm with the ghost of Macho Man Randy Savage.
😂
Lol “how the fuck do you write this?” It’s a brilliant song from a brilliant band.
This is what happens when you haven’t done a new song in 5 years! This song is epic. You are definitely not qualified to understand that which is TessercT
He seems pretty qualified
I’m not sure anyone is qualified. Where can I get that certificate? 😂
@@SteveOGRock the TesseracT university for musical wizards?
@@SonofZug9i have a PhD in Djent and a Master’s in 13/8 time signature
@@ArcherWillows well done you are very well educated
Tesseract are head and shoulders above any contemporary. The best/most talented musical group to be produced from Britain in the last 30 odd years.
