If the rest of the album holds this caliber of quality, we got a strong AOTY contender here.

This is well worth the waiting. I'm pre-ordering. First concert of 2024 will be booked soon as well.

Man.....I've tried and tried and tried to like this band. Have done the same with BTBAM, Devin Townsend, Periphery.....have tried to 'force' myself to like these bands. Just doesn't do it for me. I wish it did.

Finally got around to a second spin, and hot damn is this song amazing. Can't wait to fucking blast it on the commute home.

The song reminds me of a polished and better version of One, which is amazing.

Totally agreed, they've definitely gone back to that core sound, but layered it with all the experience gained in between. I'm so fucking hyped now.

Not sure if it's in thread, but the album name is War of Being and will drop 9/15

Ok, they aren't fucking around today....full world tour dates announced...

As I said already, just consider me in attendance at the Halloween SF gig.

Diggin the new tune. Lots of space to breathe. I like it. I preordered the record after listening to the tune. I hear hints of the entire discography in this tune, which is nice. I miss Ashe's voice, but Dan is the voice of Tesseract, so it'll be what it is. I like Dan, just not as much as Ashe. Although Ashe was terrible live when I saw Tesseract on the Altered State tour. One of the most disappointing gigs I have ever gone to.

Can't go see the band in San Fran. Busy that night, it being Halloween. Unfortunate that's the only Nor Cal date.

For me it's either seeing Tesseract or handing out candy to kids? Yeah fuck them kids

Put a bowl of candy and you will have done both

I haven't listened to this band since Altered State came out, but I like the new song. Though watching the video made me think that the name of the song should be.....Djentjutsu.

Really cool song. There was one riff at 2:20 that seemed a bit overly repetitive and overstayed its welcome, though maybe there's some metric modulation or something in it which will stand out more on later listens. But I'm surprised that all these years in Dan seems to still be experimenting with vocal nuances I don't think I've ever heard before on any of his various projects. I'm not sure there was anything especially One-sounding about it on the first listen other than the clean/harsh vocal dynamic and the tuning, though I'm not going to complain about either.

That sucks

He was great from what I remember of the gig I went to. Just looked it up and it was a little over 10 years ago now

The new song didn't click with me at all, but that's not too uncommon after just 1 listen. Think I'll leave it until the album comes out before listening again though.

I love that part, and I actually really appreciate that they really give you time to lose yourself in the groove. Jay's crazy double pedals there at the end of that section don't hurt either.

I'm don't usually take advantage of VIP packages, but it seems the band is doing a exclusive stripped down performance for theirs.... Pretty sure I'll be taking advantage of that one.

Pre-ordered the BluRay for the new record. Love that it comes with a 5.1 mix and a documentary. More bands should do these!

Yeah, it's on their website. Includes signed poster, early entry, laminate, exclusive mini set, all for 100 bucks.

I just hope there's an option for those of us who don't have a bluray player but still really want to see that documentary. I agree that it's great when bands do these. I've loved watching Periphery do it, as they've done a documentary for their past three albums.

BlackInk · « **Reply #617 on:** August 07, 2023, 09:49:07 AM »

I asked Dan about the bluray thing, and unfortunately he said the documentary is not going to be available in any other format. I'm hoping it's a sales thing though, that they'll let the album cycle pass, and then when all the special edition sales are done they put it on youtube or something.

Music video for "Legion". Pretty solid tune, probably won't be my favorite, but I'm glad the harsh vocals are judiciously being incorporated back in now.

Holy fuck this album is perfect.

I think Daniel just shattered the bar of what a vocalist is capable of, such a dynamic performance. Can't wait to get home from work and give this another listen on my good headphones.

I think my AOTY decision has been made.

Agreeing with everyone's comments. This album is absolutely magical. And aside from the music itself being fantastic, this might be the best produced album I have ever heard. It's the kind of production that just makes me as someone just getting into music production lose all hope. Sounds like a bad thing but it's really a wonder to hear
