Dan Tompkins Leaves TesseracT

2011-08-22 by Someone on Reddit claims they called Jeremy Ferwerda to ask about the state of the site | 53 Comments
TesseracT vocalist Dan Tompkins is rumoured to have left the up-and-coming progressive metal band after footage of the band performing with vocalist Elliot Coleman emerged online on the weekend.

Though the band or management have yet to release an official statement, the band lineup on the band's official facebook change has been revised, now listing Elliot Coleman as vocalist.

Footage of Elliot performing with TesseracT can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuzZ3Q-KU9o&feature=player_embedded, and the band's facebook page is viewable at https://www.facebook.com/#!/tesseractband?sk=info

Really bummed. Dan was amazing. Dunno if Elliot will fill his boots very well, but we'll see.

I've never listened to this band but my friend was showing me some of Elliot Coleman's stuff over the weekend and besides being an excellent guitarist and bassist, he has some pretty amazing vocals too.

Could've waited to post this news after tomorrow, when an official statement's been made. Except for the Facebook members change, it's nothing but shitty rumours and butthurt crybaby-supposed-to-be-fans.

Band is boring as shit. I love Dan's vocals and hope he can find a more interesting band to join in the near future.

It took me a long time to get into 'One', but it was very rewarding. People can say these guys suck all they want, this is some of the most complex and beautiful music around. If this guy did leave.. it's a damn shame.

I hope this guy's growls are at least slightly better. Don't see why all these djent bands insist on using loads of clean singing, though.

I loved his voice, it was really powerful. Hopefully he finds some other project that suits him a tad bit better, though.

I just heard "Lament" and I thought he was pretty decent...

zaruyache is right..Why all the clean singing in djent? I'm sure they can do without it...

yeah thats right all vocals for this genre should be shouts. it really gets me in touch with the deep anger of the genre.

Why does it not surprise me that fans of the genre can't seem to grasp the concept that you should think before you post?

Do you get off from being hostile or something? I'm just curious is all. I've seen a lot of your posts every single one of them seems to involve lashing out at someone or informing everyone that you think the band/genre in question is trash. So much negativity can't be healthy D:

How wrong you are. Maybe if you didn't justify a comment like my previous one with a response, maybe I'd give up. Thanks for helping my cause.

If anyone has ever truly made an accurate observation of my attitude on Sputnik, it's usually towards bands that make shitty music or users who don't think before they post, like Durrzo.

Shut the fuck up. You don't have to press your opinion to the world to try and make people think the same way. Nobody likes an ignorant, bitching little child...
Talk about "think before they post". If you really want to downsize a band that much, prove you can be any better. I would love to see you make a fool of yourself up on stage.

oh sweet, somewhere that is appropriate for me to rec this. listen to zelliack, it has the new vocalist for tesseract, and i think he is a freakin monster. @afterthebreakdown really don't understand that. guy has some major pipes and sings like a classically trained singer or something

and just from what i've heard from the dan dude, elliott sings better

Dan is actually a much more talented singer; the power in his voice is ten times that of Elliot's...
However, Elliot has better shouts. But that doesn't come close to the amount of talent that Dan has.
