Does Tesseract Djent?

[@polarnightaudio]

I wanna hear LaBrie singing big chungus with autotune

[@CEO_of_Shitboxes]

Very cursed comment, but I support this

[@Forest_V19]

One of the best acts out there right now. Drums are always very creative as well.

[@Swollen_Goat]

Sonder is one of the best prog albums I have ever heard. Really excited to hear whatever they are doing next. Hopefully it's soon!

[@franlovelsimic8421]

LaBrie slander, Tess fangirling, yeah this guys is legit hahaha.

[@kalj3]

I think Gavin Harrison said on some interview that he actually records his own voice on the click telling himself which section is coming etc. So he doesnt have to stress about remembering anything and he can focus on actually playing. If I remember correctly..

[@8195229]

I'd call Tesseract demo days “djent” for sure. Since Altered State they've definitely expanded their sound to more progressive than djent.

[@Shorjok]

They've simply redefined what it means to dj0nt

[@leoducharme8562]

From now on, whenever someone asks me about Iron Maiden, my response will be “OLD!”

[@blumetech99]

Always found it way more reliable to learn things by ear rather than reading sheet music. When I was like 12 i was getting bored of sight reading and decided to learn all of Planetary Duality by ear and ever since I can learn anything with my ears... besides this, Jay is a mad man for learning this stuff by ear.

[@GLUTENX]

Hearing that click is giving me horrible flashbacks lol. I don’t miss that aspect of live playing

[@borndeadjosh]

Good fuck I love you 😂😂😂 Never stop talking shit it literally makes me happy

[@bigman9905]

My brother in Christ, I am watching the video

[@mistabobdobalina7319]

This song slaps harder than my stepfather.

[@bigpleys2688]

Tesseract was my first band of prog/djent and got me into drums as well, special band for me forever

[@puertoricodrum]

"what about iron maiden" ........ "old!!" found that hilarious

[@NocolasLive]

Tesseract speaks prog with a djent accent

[@Wollestar]

I can get behind the last statement 🤣. Happens more often than not, that I stop listening to a song/band the second the vocalist opens their mouth. Or songs I heard without vocals in a drum play through for example and with vocals I can't listen for 5 seconds. I wish, more bands would release their music with and without vocals.

[@kryssmith2292]

Vocalist comment is gold, so on point.

[@Michaeltucker999]

i was at this gig and i am probably in the minority saying this but i thought the sound was better for them than dream theater!

[@jobelewis6416]

I saw Dream Theatre at Download right after Animals As Leaders and I thought the DT sound was trash in comparison

[@tomgleeson-hammerton2060]

I haven't seen DT since Portnoy left, but I remember them being one of the best sounding live bands, even in shitty venues. I know Portnoy was very fussy about live sound and presentation, so I wonder if that has slipped a little bit? Having said that, I've seen Tesseract live twice, and they are so clean. I think they mainly use DI don't they? Everything is just so clear and crisp with them.

[@derrickseidwalk6423]

I feel like Tesseract falls somewhere in between djent and progressive. Progressive I feel usually comes along with more flashy playing, solos and the such. Tesseract, while they are all incredible masters of their craft, aren't known for being overly flashy or ripping solos that I personally incorporate with progressive metal. They however groove above the best of them. However between the key changes, meter changes, style changes, they incorporate a lot of qualities you would find in progressive metal. I think that's what makes them such an easy band to love. They cross different tastes of music to attract many different types of listeners. Overall, take the most talented and creative rhythm players in the UK, give them an incredible vocalist....Tesseract.

[@bravepart]

That crowd pissed me off 😂

[@peytonpepper12]

The dream theater roasts made me shit my pants 😂

[@Darkest_of_Winter]

Man that snare is soooooo good

[@averycoolturtle]

They are 100% one of the top pioneers of djent

[@averycoolturtle]

@Gunk Session there can be multiple dawg, damn you sound so triggered

[@benharris-hayesaudio]

My fave comments from Craig in this video: *"Think my Dad told me to punch them in the nose." *"That's some big brain, Rainman s**t." *"Waiting for LeBrie's autotune rig to show up." 😂

[@matthewlayne4656]

Just heard new SFTP track, BLOWN OUT THE WATER!!!!!! Great job guys

[@KOOLEE88]

get out the way, get out the way, Got a tesseract, get out the way! ( I straight bullshitted that Kurupt line)

[@MrBoston1630]

They are djent imo. I think djent is so frowned upon that, if it sounds good “it isnt djent”. Ive seen tons of people put periphery and monuments in the metalcore category for the same reason

[@DarkPhantomSky]

Yeah, really dumb.

[@francovf79]

the crowd looks like a jpeg

[@ManiacFitness]

I always thought that way I'd learning was normal. I was taught by a music school jazz teacher. I play metal and hard rock. He tried teaching me how to read notes on the kit and I just learned by watching him and knowing how to count. It's like one big math problem once you know what you're doing.

[@garytackett8426]

Your new jammy jam is awesome! All the best from Cincinnati Ohio USA!

[@michaeldrums3190]

Early tesseract was djent. Now they are primarily classified as prog-rock/metal. With that being said there is still some djent style rhythms sprinkled throughout there new music and done very tastefully.

[@zacharysawicki4111]

They’re the djent pioneers

[@Marijuanajoseph]

Crowd acting like they prisoners

[@nicholasadams81]

My brother in christ, I subbed to you for your commentary

[@singaporeghostclub]

Gotta love Jay Postones!

[@chrischannon8556]

Very curious who the other 4 would be in your brit band selection

[@greglmao6185]

Ambient Djent, I’d say

[@SacherPunch]

We could call it ambjent

[@nicholascrockettfilms]

Tesseract is an essential djent band imo.

[@ichewbarkk]

Cubase click is the best click

[@BinaryMusicisClark]

Based off the crowd alone, I would call them more prog.

[@pullupbow]

The same way Twitching tongues are considered hardcore... Kinda maybe probably who knows?

[@geekless]

Craig, you’re great. Do you and have fun 🤘🏼

[@ronanator789]

Concealing fate era (Deception in particularly) TesseracT is Djent as can be, but absolutely modern TesseracT is more close to Tool then Messhugah.

[@retrayal4642]

opening up for DT lol, that must suck

[@robgas7507]

I’m hear for the comments, Drums and porn- stache

[@rewmeister]

tesseract is so damn good

[@lawrencepatrick5760]

killer drums

[@davidzeager262]

Can we get a Sam Carter guest spot on a Tesseract single?

[@JorgeLee_]

If I watch a Craig Raynolds about drumming it’s because I wanna hear what he got to say isn’t?

[@jabracadabra]

Been watching you for a while. Keep it up. Haters gonna hate.

[@dylancrawley7665]

Think this was from a pandemic show so crowd are seated and told not to dance or sing, which probably explains the crowd... Plus if it's Dream Theatre 😂

[@maxjjk]

If no one hates your vocalist you're not a real djent band

[@215djt]

No more Sabrinas!

[@ErikHansenDrums]

My brother in Christ, you're ruining me breakfast stopping the video so often.

[@troruaz]

I'm a random internet guy from the future in 2023: hope Sleep Token makes your current top bands (metal or otherwise) from the UK :)

[@chrishobbs8953]

Your fucking awesome dude fuck the haters let it burn

[@daverobertson5633]

Completely with you on the vocalists thing, prog metal is so much better instrumental.

[@rareformx]

OG djent, yeah. Modern djent, naaaaaa. But overall, still yeah.

[@Belazoth.]

Hey Craig, I like you. That's all. Have a good'n

[@charliecray5554]

I can't tell if you like DW or not? In the Matt video you said you loved them?

[@jamesesuit]

I like you.

[@LzyD2112]

If only Labrie used an autotune ffs, the man destroys DT and always has

[@peytonpepper12]

Great natural singer, BUT there’s confirmed video of him using it on their NA tour with Arch Echo

[@J-Allen19]

FWIW, you can 'find' their new cd without vocals. They released an instrumental version and it's so nice w/o the vocals.

[@Lenny-Mozes]

Tesseract started out djenty but they have changed that long time ago. They had much better songs when they were djenty

[@robertdenniston5858]

Bst? Bri’ish shtandard toime?

[@deadsoulxiii]

big stonking tcock

[@XxTW0F4C3DxX]

Please react to Joey Baca from The Contortionist. I recommend Language I and II live

[@Zach-cn4lb]

Thoughts on Tool?

[@Apocaclips]

Yeah, he's a massive one.

[@conrod4910]

Djrog or prjent? Love a sub genre, great fuckin band tho

[@robertleahu]

They fall into the category of clean chorus harsh verse cliche. Soooo... modern metal?

[@TheBeardsShow]

You talk to much.... it's a reaction video if you didn't say anything then what the actual fuck would be the point. Love your commentary man. Much love

[@boringuserhandle]

Some great tunes, but the vocals just absolutely ruin it for me.

[@charleschi843]

No.

[@Veeto]
