Just discovered that Dan's other project White Moth Black Butterfly just put out an album. It is amazing, just a fantastic atmosphere trough the whole thing, and he is a great singer.

Nothing big, but Tesseract announced they signed with KScope records (Steven Wilson, Katatonia, Anathema).

Saw them day before last in Gothenburg, and it was awesome. Dan really impressed me too, really delivering on mostly everything things. The one thing I felt was a bit off was the highest vocal parts of Nocturne, but I understand that those melodies are tailored to Ashe's voice, which was a bit lighter than Dan's.

Dan's other band, Skyharbor, just released a new music video! I think it's made by the same person who did the video for Steven Wilson's The Raven that Refused to Sing! :o :drool:

Yeah, Jess Cope.  Definitely the same person.  She's sure been busy the past year or two.  Her videos are really awesome.

Just saw on their Facebook page that they've had to cancel their gig tonight in Glasgow because their tour bus has broken down and they weren't able to get to Scotland. I'd decided not to go along this time anyway, as it seems they're playing the same set as they did the last time I saw them 18 months ago, but obviously it sucks for everyone who was planning to go - especially those who've travelled.

Amos looks hilarious in the picture they put up though  :lol

I watched some recent live videos last night of Daniel performing the Altered State material with Tesseract.  I notice that he goes to falsetto in a few of the more powerful parts that Ashe would belt out full force.  I didn't really care for that at all, but other than that he sounded really good.  Just a little weary of the falsetto.  He's definitely miles ahead of Ashe in terms of stage presence though, in my opinion.

Yeah, the Altered State vocals were definetely modeled after Ashe's quite honestly 'girlier' voice. I can't wait to see some more of Dan's stuff on the next album, which I was always more a fan of in the first place.

The YouTube updates for the upcoming Voices From the Fuselage album sound pretty Killer.  That's the band of singer Ashe O'Hara now that he's out of Tesseract.  The good thing is that its prog metal.  I love his voice over prog metal and I was worried that would be over when he left Tesseract.  Luckily, that's not the case.  This sounds very promising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FeXKbzf7ac

Also, new live album/dvd coming out this spring for Tesseract and a new album slated for September, according to this month's Prog magazine.

^ I checked out their EP 'To Hope'. Cool stuff. Nothing overly exciting really, but still interesting.

Ex-Tesseract vocalist Ashe O'Hara appears as a guest vocalist on a video from Dzyen.  See link below.  It's still early to tell, but I think he might be my new favorite vocalist.  Love his voice.  Gotta see how he sounds on the upcoming release of Voices From the Fuselage, which is now his main band.

Yeah Ashe is great. Though this particular song is not my favorite. It's okay, nothing more. His vocals definetely makes it better.

I'm new to this band, and I've been listening to Altered State recently. It's good, but not fantastic, in my opinion. I like the sound they have and some of the songs in the first half are quite good, but everything after Exile just feels subpar.

I used to feel that way after "Exile" too.  I think that's bound to happen though, because that song is just absolutely phenomenal.  I started to better appreciate the album's second half when I listened to them on their own -- without listening to the album's first half.

I seem to like Altered State as a whole more than you, but I totally agree about where the album's strength lies. It's clearly during the first half. Proxy, Retrospect, Resist and Exile are all great, and after that it's 'only' good. Though I really do like Eclipse as well.

Awesome performance. Though it's a bit too rapidly edited and filmed, I can never really focus on anything properly.

Totally agree.  It was giving me a headache when i watched it.  I couldn't comfortably enjoy the performance because the editing was so jumpy.  Hope the rest of the DVD isn't edited that way.
