    Dan is easily the most consistent vocalist in the progressive scene, which is really a testament to his talent given how inherently demanding the scene is

      Daniel Gildenlow is something else, even with his age and health issues he sounds like a recording every time he performs. Check out Iter Impius from the BE dvd for some of his live vocals.

      @@Shane-zo4mg Hi Shane, the performance is totally natural with some minimal processing including de-essing, EQ, compression, some reverb and delay that is automated along with the volume but nothing in the area of pitch correction. The whole idea is to deliver a strong and realistic single track performance. There are also a few harmonies dotted around but nothing that gets in the way of the lead. Cheers - Dan

    Played this song out loud from my phone, and my 7 year old asked me how many singers the band had. I said one, and the confusion on his face was a picture. So I showed him the video, and I could see the cogs in his head going round like, "Wut?" He asked me how he (Dan) does it, and I said ,"He's just a beast."
    Thanks for blowing the mind of my 7 year old and making him more interested in your music.

    Before we all expire
    Think for yourself
    And be the renegade
    Don't give in to him
    And his ugly ways
    I can feel you getting closer
    I can sense you start to smile
    I see colossal eyes
    There's a shadow on the sun
    And no wonder why
    Drain all the sick away
    You've proven you are an animal
    Stalking me, you are a mannequin
    Your form is menacing
    This is another one of his ways
    To control me

    You wasted so much damned time on it
    You wasted half your damned life
    Now watch it fall to damned pieces, pieces
    It’s not about the love, I know
    I count her on the one hand
    Too many torn apart and thrown aside
    In pieces, pieces
    You wasted so much damned time on it
    You wasted half your damned life
    Now watch it fall to damned pieces, pieces
    You wasted so much damned time on it
    You wasted half your damn

    Hey Dan! Been following since the very beginning of TesseracT and i must say you, should always be the front man in the band! Ashe was like an alien in Altered State and slayed that shit but, to me, that was just a concept-sort-of-album and not the "real deal".
    This cover was superb. The technique makes me wanna cry. You should always have a spot in TesseracT.
