Never heard them before! | Tesseract - War of Being | Reaction / Review 

Big facts

Man, Jay is one of the best to ever do it. TesseracT deserves more followers for sure.

Jay Postones is this generation’s Danny Carey. So groovy and technical, yet still so musical.

Hate to burst your bubble, but he doesn't write any of his parts, Acle is the genius behind the whole thing@@JoHarm96

@@thenecroyeti1 Dope. Didn’t know that.

100%!

@@davidpwolfenew TESSERACT song!? Will you react to it!

Portals is one of my favorite Tesseract releases. I love how it captures the rawness of the band somehow a little more groovy. Although Altered States is a masterpiece, I do enjoy Dan's take on the songs from that album, he has such an amazing voice! Cheers🤘

In fairly sure Dan has used growls in tesseract several times prior to this, they're just typically more subtle and background, where as in this song they take center stage.

I'm definitely gonna need to hear more from them!

I mentioned that exact thing to Acle the other day. This song takes elements from everything and weaves it together, although he told me it wasn't intentional.. The music just flowed.

@@dougcronkhite2113 so interesting! Although I have always considered TesseracT as being masterful songwriters, this is one of their best.

dont forget Jay, absolute legend of a drummer

Glad you enjoyed it!

best bit of song by far

That until about the 7:00 mark I have on repeat, so damn good!

Such a good song

Thanks for the recomendation!

Thanks!

That's so interesting! I love when bands do tricky stuff like that.

@@davidpwolfe Well you and me both! Tesseract is a great modern prog band that has influenced a lot of other metal bands of today. Their grooves are so interesting and surgical with the rhythms I'd recommend looking into their album Altered State, regarded by most fans as their best work to date. It's clean, precise and hard hitting. Altered State features a different (but equally amazing) vocalist. Tesseract are a lucky band when it comes to incredible and unique vocalists. The 'Of Matter Suite' studio performance video is a popular one amongst yt reactors, it's a 10/10 performance. This would be the undisputed top pick if you decide to look into Altered State. The short song Calabi-Yau deserves a mention too, it has a sick Saxophone solo over djent guitars.. it's freakin awesome. If you want to hear more of this singer, check out something off the Polaris album, it's a beautiful record as well. The song Tourniquet is one of the prettiest songs I've heard, my favorite vocal performance by Dan Tompkins (current tesseract vocalist from the video you reacted to). It made my polish mom cry lol so I just have to recommend that. Have a good day dude, i enjoyed watching your video

It’s actually not quite in 4/4 all the way through. There is a 7/8 measure near the beginning and a short 13/8 section in the middle. But the vast majority is 4/4.

Which is the 13/8 section? You're likely right since the band does use some half bars of 2 quarterns notes sometimes to finish a pattern and they don't shy away from over the barline stuff. I haven't noticed the 13 section when I practised this song start to finish on the guitar? Still most, way over 90% of these bands materials are made of(heavily syncopated) 4/4 sections, and knowing that would help those less familiar with modern prog to prime their ears for the 4/4 cymbals or whatever, instead of focusing on the timefuckery guitars which I notice most non-proggers focus on and throw themselves off Edit: is it the 'give me everything nowwww' section in 13?

@@wavewithus4081 yes, it’s that section.

I definitely want to hear more!

@@davidpwolfe I recommend Juno, Concealing fate, Retrospect (different singer on that track, Beneath my skin

@@davidpwolfe yessssss can’t wait brother!! Hope many more to come!? Live version of king??????
