you should just do the whole album.

I am a huge fan of Tesseract and I did not expect this. Legion is for sure one of my favorite Tesseract songs now. Absolutely brilliant and it only gets better and better as you listen more frequently to it.

dan is the man, from haji's kitchen, skyharbor, tesseract, white moth black butterfly and more, he can really do anything and he's only gotten better

This is probably the best vocal performance Dan has done on a TesseracT track to date, perhaps his best one ever. Always glad to see your take on this stuff Geebz!

Surprised to see that nobody has mentioned that the last 20ish seconds of this song has the same melody as the end of their song "Mirror Image", even paying homage to the "I've been dreaming..."

I bloody love this band and I bloody love you, Geebz.

God damn. No matter how many years I spend listening to these guys, their music just doesn't stop yanking my heartstrings every which way. I can't think of another modern artist whose entire discography I have to file under 'elicits visceral reaction' in my head. Edit: Drat. The point of this was to thank you for helping spread their music some more, but I got sidetracked, evidently, so: Thank you kindly!

Haven't even started the reaction yet, and I gotta say thank you for doing this one. Easily my favorite off the new album, beating out their title track, and hardly anyone is doing it. I'm hoping that the word spreads. If not, I just gotta be privy to another secret gem (I'm used to it). People don't know what they're missing (which is probably why they're missing it). I've played this track on repeat, and I still get chills. That is so rare for me, you have no idea. Seems the donators always know the good stuff, and are usually the ones who're on the same page as me. So, props to this particular donator! Edit: Totally agree on Dan's vocals. "Comfortable" is a great way to put it. You may have also been looking for "intentional" (pretty synonymous in this instance), which is the impression I get from really experienced and practiced vocalists like Dan. Like each break in their voice is a choice, rather than a happenstance that works out in the mix. Hope to see more TesseracT from you.

Best track on the Album for me, and, what a phenomenal album. Best Tesseract by far since Altered State

It might be their best song...or it might be one of several others on this album. Every song has a moment that I look forward to hearing when I listen, and it has a big, spirit lifting sound overall. I feel like it came along at a great time for a lot of people.

8:10 guy who said "metal jeff buckley" was on the money. I was thinking prog metal Matt Bellamy from Muse, but i can see that. This track is the best showcase of Dan's vocal chops, hands down. "Lead me home", what a phenom.

My god this song is epic! Thank you for the review!

Tesseract are absolute masters of their craft, special mention to Amos Williams for being a monster bass player and knowing perfectly how to cut through the mix! Fills in the space perfectly

The way this song leads into tender is so beautiful

I don't have any TesseracT albums in my collection. This song has me thinking I need to change that situation.

This album is a masterpiece on the shoulders of their incredible catalogue. As a fan for 12 years, I am speechless of this album. They have somehow improved upon every aspect of their sound into a singular album.

album deserves a deep dive for sure! thanks for the upoad geebz!

Frying his voice like that while still emitting melody is so impressive to me

The pause at 6:16 killed me 😂

The mix/engineering is done by Acle Kahney, the main songwriter and one of the guitarists.

You are the man Geebz.

Few tracks gives me goosebumps, but this one does it for me every time, the emotions are intense.

I've grown super fond of the song Sirens. And the ending to Natural Disaster is *chefs kiss*

Thank you my man!

Thank you Geebz

I wish i had more time in the day because I REALLY MISS catching these streams live. Fantastic breakdown on this one 😀 too.

It's like my dream came true and Matt Bellamy joined a prog metal group haha

It blows my mind how much you hear in a first listen. Always impressed!

Thanks for the analysis! I haven't been able to get this song out of my head, and I was hoping you'd check it out 🤘

Indukti - Ninth wave 👋🏻

This album is absolutely phenomenal. My favorite track has to be sirens.

Love the objectivity in the analysis.

Geeebz new Earthside is out… and Daniel Tompkins (TesseracT) provided vocals once again on “Let the truth Speak”

Thank god you’re checking out TesseracT again

Great track, excellent album. Dan's vocal performance on this is amazing.

I get to see them this November in Los Angeles 👍

Those “high digi bells” are their guitars. They have signature approach to tone as they do with every other nuance. Theyre about to tour with Alluvial which has one of the best guitarist in the world Wes Hauch. Check em out too. A good song is called Compound.

Tesseract - Legend

their best song yet, hands down. and one of the best songs I've ever heard

What song. It was probably on my 3 listen that I was like holy shit ok boys. A lot of vocal effects layered throughout the album which is taking some getting used to for me but it’s cooking for sure! The discovery phase is my favorite.

This entire album is FIRE!!!

Hey Geebz just some background, Tesseract are considered one of the pioneering djent bands, they popped up on the scene around the same time Periphery did.

This album is killer

I feel like since this song colors the feeling of anxiety in the lyrics. I thinks it's kinda thought full that the drums are pronounced in those quite parts because even though the world can be calm you can still experience an anxiety attack feeling and hearing your heart pounding even though your safe

I would recommend checking out Chris Liepe’s video on the analysis of Legion. He and Dan really get into the details about the concept of the song from a vocalist’s perspective. All of the different vocal things that Dan does in this song have a specific purpose (such as cleans, screams etc represent different characters in the concept). Made me really appreciate the song even more. Definitely one of my top Tesseract songs.

I would really love to see you another few songs from archspire. Anything off Bleed the Future would be sick by think in particular Drain of Incarnation would be sick.

quite a solid album. another one that came out recently was Pomegranate Tiger, after almost 8 years since their latest record. Hope you check them out at some point, too.

Do the album!!!!

Love Tesseract: Dan's vocals are so amazing on this album. Always have been great, been somehow even better

Goddamn, Tesseract don't disappoint. Peak music energy right here.

The drums are up and in the face at start because of the tension that starts the song….the nervousness/heart beat/stress of the character in the album….. the video does a great job of showing the ups and downs emotionally of the character coming in for “landing”….at least that’s my take

DO WAR OF BEING

Hey man, i know it's kinda unrelated to the music you are accustomed to analyze, but can you consider listening to Cantata de Puentes Amarillos by Pescado Rabioso in the future? I have no doubt it will blow a couple minds, even if it is an 1973 recording. Great video btw! Always a pleasure watching at work

good sound volumes

Someone in the chat said “Metal Jeff Buckley” at some point and to be honest that’s a fantastic comparison, very accurate.

Feels a bit like later years Dillinger Escape Plan with a but if Rishloo.

im begging you to do Natural Disaster by them as well.

Yes. This is their best track yet.

'Ract bumps

No idea why the KZfaq community is blowing up over this one song in particular. Yeah it's good but it ain't touching Seven Names, Eden, Proxy, Retrospect, Hexes, Concealing Fate: 1, 2, 4, 6. There's at least 6 other tracks on War of Being that stand out just as much as this too.

I'm a simple man, if someone appreciates Tesseract they get a like.

The drummer knows to back off for what is the performance of a life time from the singer

Prog metalcore. Best album of the year

This is definitely the most commercial track. Not the best hest though

Ooft... its pronounced leigon... like a Roman one.... but you know your stuff so

Big fan of the band, but I'm sad to say none of the new songs have grabbed me - like - at all. Sonder was VERY meh and this album has nothing on their previous ones. It all feels so overthought and overelaborated, maybe similar to Tool's latest album. Or maybe I'm just outgrowing them, which is just as sad...

Man you paused at the best part.. Talked on top of the best vocal part.. Also possibly didn’t even watch the video??

Good song, but clip is kinda little bit cringy, someguy is astronaut is singing in his cabin, guys on walkie talkie are confused with Dan I think😂

Intro is Haken-ish af. Love it. That vidya feel to it.
