[Single Review] TesseracT “Nocturne”

TesseracT is a band that came seemingly out of nowhere and rocked the metal community. The band’s mixture of vicious metal riffs with glorious, beautiful soundscapes captured and awed, garnering a fanatical fanbase that are near rabid supporters.

In August of 2011, singer Daniel Tompkins left the band, replaced by Sky Eats Airplanes vocalist Elliot Coleman. Less than a year later, Elliot left the band and fans were again left wondering what would be the next step. After all, the only official release with Coleman was the Perspective EP, which was a rerecorded version of “Eden” entitled “Eden 2.0” as well as acoustic covers of three songs from the One album (review) and a cover of Jeff Buckley’s “Dream Brother”. So many were left wondering when new material would surface.

Then, suddenly, a post on the band’s Facebook stated that not only had a new singer been locked down but that a new single, “Nocturne”, would soon be released. Anticipation reached cosmic levels. Could this song satisfy the hopes of so many after so much had happened? Well, I was given a copy of the upcoming single and I have my thoughts on it below. Read on for my review! READ MORE

TesseracT have announced that their new album has an official title: Neophobia. Interestingly enough, this announcement, which the band made on their Facebook, comes before any official announcement of a new album being recorded. Hmm….

Also, after the jump you can check out behind-the-scenes photos from the Eden music video shoot, which is directed by Ganesh Rao, who filmed the beautiful Empyrean video.

Many people were shocked when, a few weeks ago, TesseracT announced that vocalist Dan Tompkins had left the band and that Elliot Coleman (OMNOM, Sky Eats Airplane) had joined on as his replacement. While I wish Dan the greatest success in his future journeys, my eyes are set square on TesseracT and their next move. Turns out I didn’t have to wait terribly long as the band has unveiled a trailer for their upcoming Lowering The Tone Tour, which features support from Chimpspanner and Uneven Structure. This trailer features a new demo with Elliot on vocals. Check it out below and leave your thoughts!

A few days ago, we posted the exclusive breaking story that TesseracT singer Dan Tompkins was leaving the band and a replacement singer, Elliot Coleman (Sky Eats Airplane, OMNOM, Haunted Shores), had been found. Until now, the band has been keeping it quiet, waiting for the right moment to say something. Well, that time has come. Check after the jump for quotes from several of the members, including Dan.

TesseracT will also be filming a video for Eden, which comes off of One, released earlier this year (review here). The video will be directed by Ganesh Rao, who made this awesome video, which gives a lot of nods to the visual aesthetic of Tool.

TesseracT are quickly becoming one of the biggest names in up and coming artists and rightfully so! They are incredibly intricate yet easily accesible, something that’s very difficult for a band in their particular genre. Now, after the release of One, TesseracT are already looking forward, keeping the momentum going. Working with Metal Injection, the guys recorded three acoustic tracks and the videos are now online! Check out April below and Origin and Dream Brother after the jump.

British progressive-djent band TesseracT have released details about their upcoming debut LP ‘One’, which will be released on Century Media Records on March 22nd. The album has the ‘Concealing Fate’ EP (review here) sandwiched by five new songs. The album will also include a bonus DVD that features the band playing the entire ‘Concealing Fate’ EP live in studio without any overdubs, re-records or anything like that.

Bassist Amos Williams had this to say about the upcoming DVD: ”Ever since we first started performing and recording, we’ve always wanted to explore the idea of surround sound. The density and layers of TesseracT’s music lends itself perfectly to multichannel sound. So, we came up with the idea of filming and recording ‘Concealing Fate’ in 5.1 surround sound for a special DVD that would come as standard with the album release. It’s really great for us to show you guys the evolution of the songs as they’ve grown slightly since we’ve started touring them. There is absolutely nothing better than the energy and euphoria of live music and hopefully with this DVD we’ve helped represent that. We enjoyed the experience and the result so much that we may just do the next album like this too!

TesseracT has also teamed up with Got-Djent.com to open up the official TesseracT forum. The band members will hop on there every so often to answer questions, post updates and chit chat here and there.
