Ash has a higher register than Dan. If it was in dan's natural range, he would have no issue pulling this off, I'm fully confident.

Yea, but even Ashe struggled with this live tbh. The higher part of the fourth octave is always tiring and/or tricky. The material itself is just super hard

Nocturne = tesseract's best song outside of conserving fate?



Discuss, I'll be back to pick up the pieces

Eden is their best song.

And I daresay Dan is better at singing Ashe's parts than Ashe is. Ashe's natural vocal range is higher, but Dan is a very consistent live performer with more control of his voice. I think even Emery has higher natural range than Dan, but I've seen him with Skyharbor twice and he has struggggllleeed to sing Dan's parts.

It's good, yea

I wish this had better production. Something that feels more like a live performance for the instruments. This would benefit so much from it.

But clinically cold production is part of TesseracT sound

I prefer One's production over all their other production jobs. Polaris is fun too. But I feel like this suffers quite a lot. The drums just feel lifeless while I really enjoy the live versions on Skala/Odyssey

This is a cool record. Never heard any other TesseracT albums though, are they worth a listen?

One is definitely worth checking out but everything after AS is a bit boring in my opinion. They kind of slip into a formula, and while it's all decent atmospheric metal with dj0nt rhythms, but kinda meh

tesseract vocals get sickening after awhile, its hard to give their discog a full go without getting tired of it

Polaris does absolutely nothing for me, but Sonder is pretty solid.

I don't think Tesseract are that good tbh. Some amazing tracks like Juno, you should definitely listen to that one, but I don't think they ever released one consistently good album

I mean their live sound is fucking carbon copy of their album. Its honestly amazing. I always take my earplugs out when I see them. such a pleasure to listen to them live.

also this band is a particularly divisive one on this site, as fans like me can't get enough, but others are like big MEH concealing fate and that's it.



so apply the general sput rule and just fuck off with what we say and check it out if you dig.

They do sound very good live even though their stage presence bores me to tears.

that is kind of true, I think they've leaned into the mysterious space-metallers thing. If you watch Scala you wouldn't think it.

I saw them live once, it was cool. Nothing spectacular, but I enjoyed hearing Of Matter live, and bits of Concealing Fate. They got booed for not playing an encore, that was pretty funny.



I have a massive soft spot for this album, it is cold and clinical and very synthetic but the production is heavy and I really like Ashe's melodies and harmonies. The atmosphere rules. Probably the only album of this kind that I've found myself really enjoying
