I'm surprised these guys don't have a discussion thread considering their moderate popularity here.

Anyway, there seems to be some news. From Wikipedia: "On August 20th 2011, rumors began spreading via the internet that vocalist Daniel Tompkins had left the band, and a video from a concert was later uploaded onto numerous video websites. The video shows the band performing with vocalist Elliot Coleman, formerly of Sky Eats Airplane and currently a guitarist in Of Legends."

Today, the band wrote on Facebook: "Hello guys, we're sorry that people are hurt by our silence. Things are very complicated at the moment, and we've had a lot to deal with. Century Media will make a statement this Tuesday. Perspective is a wonderful thing. Thank you so much for all the support and kind words."

I'll be disappointed if they part ways with Daniel, I really like his voice. Anyone know if Elliot Coleman's any good?

Minus the Concealing Fate songs that i've heard a thousand times before, One was a very good album and has some absolute stellar time signatures.

I'll be looking forward to their next album, because they have serious potential.

I saw these dudes twice open for Devin Townsend. They were pretty badass, but I always thought the vocalist was the weakest link.

chrisbDTM · « **Reply #4 on:** August 21, 2011, 04:27:44 PM »

the amount of ButthurT over this is crazy.

elliot is awesome, he's one of my favorite singers. OMNOM and Zelliack are great. but he's VERY unique, people need to chill and wait to hear better evidence of him in tesseract before talking crap.

these two videos show his range:

I saw them open for Devin Townsend too. I remember liking them apart from their singer. Though it wasn't entirely his fault since there were some very obvious sound problems going on with his setup.

I've really enjoyed One, but i am really disappointed that they got a new singer.
Of course i need to hear some new material with him in order to make my judgement, but one of the reasons i really liked Tesseract was the singer and how he made the sound different from other Djent bands.

Jirpo · « **Reply #7 on:** August 22, 2011, 03:12:09 AM »

I liked One, but I thought the vocals held it back quite a bit, I never really liked them tbh. I'm glad of the change.

NecessaryPain · « **Reply #8 on:** August 22, 2011, 09:49:05 AM »

Shame, I really started to like the vocals.

At first I was put off. They were too 'metalcore' for my liking. But i've really grown to them.

chrisbDTM · « **Reply #9 on:** August 22, 2011, 11:31:31 AM »

i cant wait to hear elliot in this band

ddtonfire · « **Reply #10 on:** August 22, 2011, 12:42:58 PM »

It'll be very interesting with Elliot, but I don't think he's the right fit for a permanent replacement.

Seeing them with BTBAM, Dillinger, and Animals As Leaders on Oct. 30th, going to be the best concert ever.

Daniel Tompkins' just posted this in a note on Facebook and shared it on the TesseracT Facebook page:

Firstly I would like to apologise for keeping you all in the dark regarding my departure from TesseracT. Unfortunately it was a necessary silence and the decision when to announce the news was out of my control and more complicated than most people realise. Earlier today however TesseracT and 'Hold Tight! PR' released the news. I made the following statement:

"It is with a heavy heart that I must announce I am leaving TesseracT. This has been the most difficult decision I have had to make in my career as a singer. My priorities in life have changed and as such I can no longer continue with the band. Our friendships are strong and I wish to thank Acle, Mos, Jay and James for all their support and dedication over the past few years. We have achieved great things, travelled the world and met many incredible people and I stand proud to say that I have been a part of the band's success and helped to carve a wonderful album. I will hold onto these memories for the rest of my life. It has been an incredible journey and it is certainly not the end for myself or TesseracT. I look forward to new beginnings and wish my good friends all the very best for the future."

My relationship with the rest of the guys hasn't changed and we continue to be great friends, which is very important to me and I hope in the future to work with the guys again in some capacity.

Whilst it may be hard for some people to understand, there are many reasons for my departure. Personal circumstances and family life played a large role in the decision making process but it is no secret that I am a busy and ambitious vocalist and it's safe to say that I will be involved in some exciting music in the near future.

I would like to thank everyone for your continued support for both TesseracT and myself. It's been an emotional ride, travelling the world, making new friends, meeting some absolutely incredible people and playing some unbelievable shows that I will remember forever.

Lastly I'm very excited to hear what Elliot does with TesseracT, I honestly couldn't think of anyone better to do the job and I know he and TesseracT will have a successful future.

Elliot's pretty talented but to me his voice doesn't really fit in with that song too well. The music's cool though.

ddtonfire · « **Reply #17 on:** September 02, 2011, 06:35:28 PM »

^That. Maybe he'll grow on me, though. I'll have to hear more.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #18 on:** September 02, 2011, 06:51:10 PM »

I haven't been able to pull things together and buy "One" yet. Because I already bought "Concealing Fate", so I feel like I have their best stuff already.

You can get "Concealing Fate" too, which is an EP, but all of the songs are on One too.

The new singer alters their sound, not in a good way, or bad, just...wierd.

One is a solid album. But I can't help but place them at a notch under Karnivool overall.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #26 on:** September 04, 2011, 07:44:41 AM »

Is it really worth paying full price for one if you already have CF though?

This, I have the EP and like it a lot.

One has two extremely good songs not on CF. Lament and Eden.

Especially Eden, a real masterful piece of work.

Eden 2.0

I'm not really sure what to think.

Video was weird but Coleman sounded good to me.

Man, I can respect Elliot and his abilities, he definitely adds a new flavor, but he just seems out of place in Tesseract.

BlackInk · « **Reply #34 on:** May 14, 2012, 12:47:02 PM »

The reason I liked TesseracT on One was because of Daniels harsh but still soaring and atmospheric vocals, and Elliot just doesn't have that.

News: Dreamtheaterforums.org is a place of peace. ...except when it is a place of BEING ON FIRE!!!
