The musical writing and singing is pretty great, but the lyrics are a bit.. Not awesome.

 :tup :metal

Just curious, do they use backing tracks for the backing vocals? Seems to be the norm nowadays to have a laptop on stage that plays the backing track and then also a click track as well.

Good stuff though and can't wait to see them live!

 :metal :hefdaddy Everything is great of course, but man, I love those vocals so much.

So glad I saw this thread popping up several times last year and decided to investigate the band. One of my top 2 albums of last year, plus I got to see them live which was awesome.  :tup

I have been listening to Altered State nonstop the past few weeks.  I honestly think this band's lineup is pure magic.  They are fuse together to form a metal machine.  They are so damn tight.  And the yare doing some crazy progressive shit at various spots in the album.  It's great to see guys not just making music, but CHALLENGING themselves to make some crazy shit that is still beautiful and melodic.  This band needs to be huge.

They have put out 2 stunning albums and if they do it again with the next one I will have to honestly say they are among
my current favorite band. I can spin Altered State over and over again and never get tired of it.

Yeah, TesseracT is probably one of my favorite bands right now. Both albums are amazing, especially One.

I dunno what it was, but Cloudkicker, Intronaut and TesseracT in Austin was the most boring show I've been to in some time.

Cloudkicker was the same chords over and over more or less for 30 mins.

From the band's FB: "Philadelphia, PA. Here's the score. Yesterday, Ashe succumbed to an illness he's been fighting off all tour. We only knew he couldn't perform at about an hour or so before stage time. So, we're letting you know in advance that we may have have to perform instrumentally, tonight. We hope you understand. We will of course keep you updated and hopefully Ashe can perform alongside the rest of us. Thanks, TesseracT."

Darn, I love Ashe's voice.  Hope he's better for the NYC show tomorrow.

Oh man   :sad:

I hope he feels better soon but it is really cool to see that the band is still going to play instrumentally.

Are they piping in vocals for these instrumental shows, or is it totally instrumental with no vocals at all?

Incredible show last night in NYC.  The crowd was so into it.  I don't go to many concerts where there's moshing, as I'm more of a DT/ Fates Warning/Queensryche type of guy.  It was light moshing, but it was cool.  Kinda sore today!

I'm addicted to tesseract, and i decided to check out what their original singer daniel tompkins is doing.  He just posted this video a few days ago.  He has a nice voice.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOh-XlM8ebg

This is so sad.  Another vocalist change?  This band will never gain any momentum with the constant changes. 

Quote
From Facebook:

We have amicably parted ways with Ashe as we have found ourselves in different places, creatively. Ashe is a fantastic talent and will continue to be successful in his career and we wish him the absolute best!

Moving forward for TesseracT – Daniel Tompkins will be rejoining us as a full time member of the band. Starting from our main stage performance at Sonisphere, UK on 05.07.14. We are also looking forward to starting writing and recording album three with Daniel, which will begin later this year.

Tesseract creates one of the best, most acclaimed, prog metal albums in recent years and can't keep the lineup together.  It's a shame.  However, I will admit that Ashe seemed more emo to me, while the other guys were more metal --  but musically, it worked.  His voice was so great on that album.  Damn, man.  Tompkins is great too, but I feel connected to Ashe because I love Altered State so much.  Sad day.

But what's different for Tompkins now?  He left Tesseract because he wanted to start a family or something, from what I read.  Now, it almost gives me the impression that he saw the band's success and is parachuting back in.
