Wow I randomly clicked on a youtube recommendation and am SO IMPRESSED. Buying concert tickets because this was incredible. Had goosebumps the entire time.
Not only this is an incredibly good song, but it also is THE MOST EXPRESSIVE Dan's song! Period! Completely blown away by these hard-to-even-explain-what's-going-on vocals!
@@portal432 skyharbor was amazing, agree. But it feels he got a bit more creative now? Or maybe his technique evolved a bit more, so he can try out new things. Dunno, that's just how it feels
I’m so obsessed with this song. Dan’s vocals are god tier, especially the part where he’s switching back and forth between screaming and falsetto. I can’t get enough of it
Whoever is mixing these new songs is god-tier; the levels of depth in the audio when you're listening on headphone's is incredible. Dan will obviously be the focal point for this track because it's absolutely insane what he's pulling off, but credit to everyone in the band for writing an absolute ear-worm of a track on every level. Beautiful job, djents.
I have never commented on a youtube video before and I have broken my silence just to say this is the most amazing thing I have heard in a long time. Absolute Masterpiece
Listened to the track now and as soon as I heard “I’ve been dreaming” I felt whole, I really hope this whole album is tied into beneath my skin/mirror image
I love how Tesseract has been referencing their own discography, some people see it as a cheap lyric shortcut but I don't---I think there's creative ways to do it, and for me it's always SO SATISFYING
@@twinny_miagreed! Not sure if it’s the same with lyrics but musical callbacks are called motifs and it’s a beautiful way to tie music together. Really does give that warm familiarity and ‘signature’ feel if done correctly that makes you smile.
I keep returning to this song. Every time you'd think that Dan has reached his peak vocal-wise, but man this song just blows me away. Incredible singer, and an incredible band. Can't wait to experience this live with their world tour.
This album is peak TesseracT, a summary of all their previous steps but with a fresh perspective. Amazing work from all the band, and what an incredible mix!
3:26 - What the f*** is happening? ❤So many emotions flow through me, especially the last part of the song brings up a lot. My best friend and I both got a Tesseract tattoo with the last release "Sonder" in 2018. We shared our entire youth, more than 13 years, so we decided to do this. But so much has happened in the meantime. Covid, moving to another city, starting a family... today we have different attitudes to life. The contact became less and as of today we have had virtually no contact for more than one year. We lived apart. Sometimes it hurts. And it especially hurts when Tesseract makes such a strong song that reminds me of the times before the changes. I still love him and wish him all the best for his future life ❤
Ive been listening to metal for almost two decades now, prog rock and metal for about ten. The constuctive thought all these guys have is not just undeniable, its awe-inspiring. Spinning this for weeks now and still get goosebumps. Bravo my dudes!🎉
Awesome, new TesseracT. 2:46 - 4:10 - Now that's just… something else, indescribable vocal work. I am left in tears with no exaggeration, all of my most intimate emotions emanated through another human's voice. The power of music, especially metal music. Two different men but the emotional impact reminded me of Kyo of Dir En Grey. TesseracT is one of the best bands I have had the pleasure of listening to since 2011/2012. I was also very big on Skyharbor back then.
HOW does this only have 704k views at the time of commenting? Seriously, one of the greatest vocal performances I've ever heard in my life and I keep coming back for more. Absolutely unbelievable.
I have a million words I could say about how amazing this band is. But after seeing this, nothing can express how much love I have for this band. They are constantly pushing their boundaries in musicality. They are always writing every song as if it's their last. ❤
This song and video have been stuck in my head for a few days now. It's so simple but effective, the projection of the data on his face is a really cool and iconic image. The vocals are just incredible.
there's something so compelling to me about space exploration, the vaccuum of space, the search of meaning, and spirituality. Such a beautiful metaphor for the human condition.
Lillian Robin from MILTON KEYNES here. I actually saw you guys at Crauford Arms in Wolverton, well over 10 years ago! So happy to see how far you guys have come! You really deserve it. My music does't even compare to yours, and I could only dream of being this good. Mad respect to you all as muscians, and Dan. I have a few friends that know you and they say you're a genuine guy. Here's to many more years of TesseracT!
you have an insane vocal range, i've literally never heard anyone transition from screams, to super highs, to normals, all back and forth with what seems to be very little effort, insane vocals holy moly
I bet dan was the worlds most renowned bard in a past life. The style of singing is medieval and makes me want to forge a sword and bathe in overused tub water
By vocals, maybe the best song I've ever heard. There's so much nuances in one song, it's phenomenal. This is not just a song, this is true vocal art. I'm amazed.. Thank you! ❤❤❤
I have no idea why… as I am usually a pretty stoic and unemotional guy, but this song almost always has me crying by the end. Can’t tell if it’s the theme, melodic groove, vocal performance, or all of the above.
holy.... f..... when the timer hits 3:10+ and the red warning lights starts to blink, what a mindblowing amazing track, it had the hairs on my body almost go electric. Everything about this album begs for more listens, and this track is pure feeling for me. Thank you for this masterpiece
I just heard this song today, doing so while washing dishes. I literally cried as soon as the vocals on the bridge section hit. No song has done that to me in years.
Played this video for my five year old daughter as a lullaby the other night. "Did he crashed the spaceship, daddy?" "Probably, but he's ok I think!" I'm usually not a fan of screams & such, but when Dan sounds so desperate it's quite alright.
I don't know why he can scream and sound like michael jackson and make it work. Jokes aside, I think Dan has the best vocals in the prog scene, and as someone who got into tesseract on their music that has softer vocals, this feels like the right blend of harmony and grit
@@AttilatheThrilla Spencer is unreal! Stylistically, I gravitate more towards Dan's voice. Both are stalwarts in their own right and absolute killer vocalists!
This song is like a handmade luxury watch with all the little gears turning at different speeds but they all work together to make the second hand turn.
@@Dontgiveafuck320 naw I’ve heard the vocal tracks singled and seen live clips The dude has pipes! Live off course won’t be perfect or even necessarily in the same vein as recording, that’s the nature of record ing vs live, and Dan is transparent about that in an interview, but the dude is a phenomenal vocalist!
the first song from the new album so far that sounds like old tesseract. and it's a great showcase of dan's incredible versatility. probably one of the hardest songs to sing I've heard in a long while
Frontman Daniel Tompkins says: “Conceptually, ‘Legion‘ sets the scene by introducing ‘Fear‘ and its various cunning forms. Fear binds and restricts us from unlocking truth and obscures the paths that lay ahead in a deliberate attempt to skew our vision. From the perspective of our two main characters (Ex and El), ‘Legion‘ sees ‘Fear‘ tearing the fabric of their lives apart, as they experience their world crumble whilst dealing with the chaos and confusion surrounding them. The music video focusses on Ex‘s experience of the same chaos, taking hold of The Dream as it crashes on ‘The Strangeland’ - the introduction to the story of the War Of Being.”
I don't know how/what it is; but this record is going to be the most Tesseract sounding Tesseract record ever. Their style is just so perfectly put together now, everyone sounds amazing!
The climax toward the end of the song is unbelievable on all fronts (vocally and instrumentally). I legit sobbed listening to it. And the nod to Mirror Image is such a nice touch here as well. Incredible work to all involved, seriously.
The falsetto in the first minute made me chuckle. That's also how I be piloting vehicles. But wow, this track made me feel like I was there in an unstable craft, careening into tumultuous, unknown, terrifying wonder. The ship my identity, the turbulence my shaky pull away from the dogma of my youth. Attempting to explore the different and the unusual without judgement.
Man! I simply can NOT stop coming back to this song AND video. The music is pure art...the lyrics, the emotion behind them when you sing them...beautiful and heavy...and you feel it so. The video, simple....yet dazzlingly so. Can't keep your eyes off the screen. It's like, you're in a trance that you never want to be taken out of and are pissed when the ship of a ride comes to a landing and you have to get off the ride....but you stand right back in line to enjoy the ride again ❤
What a great time to be alive! This new stuff is otherworldy. 1st listen was a cosmic experiance. I love everything about this track! Vocals, tones, mix, arrangement all very much on point, and then some. Wow guys...
Thank you all so much for the love and support. We are all so grateful - Dan
Some beautiful vocal gymnastics in this one!
Cant wait to see you in chicago
Dan, what an amazing voice 🤍
Fucking mind blowing. Thank you.
Im just wishing u guys come again to argentina with this new content! This is amazing!
TesseracT are so committed to the mix they actually sent Dan into the vacuum of space for the acoustics. Bravo, gents. 👏
Whoelse but Acle to mix this beautiful album
Bravo, djents. 👏
As above, djents is the correct pronunciation
False. Technically, acoustics are not possible in a vacuum.
@@bradleycallahan2855 Making it that much better for isolating sound. 😎
Wow I randomly clicked on a youtube recommendation and am SO IMPRESSED. Buying concert tickets because this was incredible. Had goosebumps the entire time.
i love that for you. welcome
congratulations man, listen to literally any of their albums and you will fall in love with them
Man I wish I could go back to first discovering Tesseract haha what a wild ride!
San Diego! Can't wait!
I’ve seen them live a few times. You won’t regret it.
Not only this is an incredibly good song, but it also is THE MOST EXPRESSIVE Dan's song! Period! Completely blown away by these hard-to-even-explain-what's-going-on vocals!
I dunno, his skyharbor stuff is pretty damn good. This is really good also, he layered vocals like crazy
The first song he did with Earthside shows his capabilities as well. He’s a phenom
I know what to expect next from you )
@@portal432 skyharbor was amazing, agree. But it feels he got a bit more creative now? Or maybe his technique evolved a bit more, so he can try out new things. Dunno, that's just how it feels
@@kseliannur3454 you can't imagine how much i how for the instrumental for this song! ;)
I’m so obsessed with this song. Dan’s vocals are god tier, especially the part where he’s switching back and forth between screaming and falsetto. I can’t get enough of it
I'm actually completely speechless at Dan's performance in this. Absolutely just next level.
The part where he screams "Lost the battle on both sides"... He sounds so pissed off but it's incredible. One of my favorite Dan screams.
Whoever is mixing these new songs is god-tier; the levels of depth in the audio when you're listening on headphone's is incredible.

I can't remember the last time I was this excited about an album
Thank you all for the support and positivity around these new tracks. I hope to see some of your wonderful faces at the upcoming shows ❤ - Jay
See you in St Louis, I'm pumped
LOve you dude !
See you in München!
See you in Portland!
see you in Poland!
Finally some interesting metal. Bout damn time
Each album has its own sound, but the sound of this album is going to be the vocal transcendence of Dan Tompkins 🤘🏻
I love how at 2:25 he is close to Earth's orbit getting ready to enter the atmosphere (helmet reflection)
Listened to the track now and as soon as I heard “I’ve been dreaming” I felt whole, I really hope this whole album is tied into beneath my skin/mirror image

3:27-4:05 is reaching Devin Townsend vocal gymnastics levels! Dan is on fire on this song 🔥
Better than Devin Townsend. Never liked his voice
@@LeeGion_981There always has to be one.
@@LicoriceLain Differing opinions on a completely subjective thing? Of course there always has to be one
One big difference: Dev is nearing 60 years old and is still capable of those gymnastics live. We'll see bout Dan when he approaches that age...

Inspired by the opening scene of the movie Alien (1979) when they do a similar projection of data on a helmet
@@klmauldincrazy how such a small detail in a scene can inspire so much.
there's something so compelling to me about space exploration, the vaccuum of space, the search of meaning, and spirituality. Such a beautiful metaphor for the human condition.
Jeff Buckley would be on the first row applauding this Daniel's performance.

The ending is absolutely crazy. Tesseract has always set such a high bar for clean vocals but oh my god...
you have an insane vocal range, i've literally never heard anyone transition from screams, to super highs, to normals, all back and forth with what seems to be very little effort, insane vocals holy moly
I bet dan was the worlds most renowned bard in a past life. The style of singing is medieval and makes me want to forge a sword and bathe in overused tub water
I'm ready and I'm already in love with The Martian, Interstellar, 2001 and Alice in Chains' Hollow vibes in the teaser.
I swear, I thought Daniel was about to hop out of a bunker at any moment and start busting up some Zerg like a marine in Starcraft.
By vocals, maybe the best song I've ever heard. There's so much nuances in one song, it's phenomenal. This is not just a song, this is true vocal art. I'm amazed.. Thank you! ❤❤❤
Honestly wasn’t feeling the first two singles like most of their discography, this one sold me. Can’t wait for Friday.
this might be the ship/pilot that eventually crash lands on the planet in the war of being game
I have no idea why… as I am usually a pretty stoic and unemotional guy, but this song almost always has me crying by the end. Can’t tell if it’s the theme, melodic groove, vocal performance, or all of the above.
Acle being an absolute GOAT with the song production and amazing riffs on this one 💪
Daniel is a BEAST! This is pure emotion. One of the songs of the year for sure. Amazing!

Everything about this album begs for more listens, and this track is pure feeling for me. Thank you for this masterpiece
Most diverse vocal range in the history of any song ever.
I love how I can still hear Fellsilent DNA in this. Acle is one of my favorite guitarists of all time.
the vocal harmonies done halfway through Burden remind me of Fellsilent's Immerse

Freaking out inside the suite. Awesome!!!!! I was screaming with him.
Saw this at the album preview event and I've been counting down the hours until I could see it again, unreal track and video
Is it another return to the djent days???
I had the pleasure of experiencing this live in Tampa, Dan and the entire band gave it their all!
I've been a massive Tesseract fan since One and it blows my mind how they keep getting better and better with every album.
Loved their second vocalist but glad to OG man has made his return and reached even new levels along with the rest of the band.
This song transcends genre.
This vocal is next level, amazing
The vocals on this album are next level
GOOSEBUMPS
Dan's voice keeps getting better and better (and better, and better ...)
New album is gonna absolutely crush...
Officially nominating 3:27 as the vocal highlight of the decade in metal. I haven't got goosebumps like that in a LOOOONG TIME. What artistry, Dan!
I don't know why he can scream and sound like michael jackson and make it work. Jokes aside, I think Dan has the best vocals in the prog scene, and as someone who got into tesseract on their music that has softer vocals, this feels like the right blend of harmony and grit

Beautiful song and vocals, props to you Tesseracts.
Love the intensity when he get mad >:0
been waiting for this band
The "branded HEEEEEEEathen" line makes me fucking weep every time i hear it
Dan's vocals have just gone up to the next dimension on this album, man. Holy shit, what a masterpiece. I can't stop listening to it.
Daniel casually killing everything with these mad vocals. Damn, that was epic.
One of the best performances by Daniel! Soooo expressive! Awesomeeee!
This song is like a handmade luxury watch with all the little gears turning at different speeds but they all work together to make the second hand turn.

Tesseract, periphery, vildhjarta e polyphia changed my life, i'm so hyped for this e the album lfg!!
Definitely my favourite song on the Album!
I love so much this song
if, somehow, portals and war of being didn’t cement it for you, this song solidifies Dan as the best singer tesseract have ever had

Going off War of Being and The Grey, I'm not surprised. Both tracks are just SO FUCKING GOOD
@@shanemaxwell1784 PLUS THIS TRACK BC WTF (came to the comments to also say this is their magnum opus)
They just keep getting better. It's actually personally inspiring.

Dear friends. Album of the year.

A vocal masterpiece
honestly Dan progressed so fucking much since last album thats insane (he was already great), crazy good performance Dan
All the album, masterpiece !!!
Siiiiick 🖤🔥 Dan has a really wide vocal range. Beautiful angelic high notes.
If people on this planet would care about anything, at all, 10% of what this band invests in making such wonderful music, we would live in a paradise.
The climax toward the end of the song is unbelievable on all fronts (vocally and instrumentally). I legit sobbed listening to it. And the nod to Mirror Image is such a nice touch here as well. Incredible work to all involved, seriously.
The Charismatic Voice thank you for introducing me to music TesseracT
THIS GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS. I can't wait any longer, I need this album! Incredible music. Born in the right generation.
The falsetto in the first minute made me chuckle. That's also how I be piloting vehicles. But wow, this track made me feel like I was there in an unstable craft, careening into tumultuous, unknown, terrifying wonder. The ship my identity, the turbulence my shaky pull away from the dogma of my youth. Attempting to explore the different and the unusual without judgement.
Holy shit Dan!! 😮😭 amazing song guys!
Perfection!
Dan just let loose on this one, damn. Those pitched screams are seriously impressive
Dan has more than one-upped himself here. This is incredible.
Man! I simply can NOT stop coming back to this song AND video. The music is pure art...the lyrics, the emotion behind them when you sing them...beautiful and heavy...and you feel it so. The video, simple....yet dazzlingly so. Can't keep your eyes off the screen.
