2024 and still here now.

[@armoredsaint95]

until the end of t time

[@jamesmccool914]

bro it's so good

[@Anonimo-tv2co]

My fuckin god, Tesseract is perfect with two vocals. It just makes absolute sense.

[@Arkramn]

it does indeed my friend

[@jamiefitzpatrick3377]

Just like fellsilent were. Ohh what Monuments could have been....

[@DeathFrankCore]

Immagine if they had 4 vocalists

[@GhANeC]

True. They always have. That's why they've always recorded with multiple vocal layers, but perform mostly with one plus some background samples. However, bear in mind... that this is Martin Grech! THAT's why it's sounding perfect to you. Not because it's two any live vocalists. But because it's the guy who co-wrote and co-recorded the song's lyrics... AND because it's fuckin Martin Grech!

[@GhANeC]

Yeah, just like if god had used supernatural amounts of awkwardness to destroy sodom and gomorra.

[@makhainy6620]

This song is like being served a medium rare filet mingon and an ice cold beer after being stranded in the woods for a year

[@MetalAddict247]

haha bro that's the best analogy ever

[@TillyP]

*simile

[@ThrashMinded]

MakhaiNY wah putain mais on dit un filet mignon, pas mingon !!!!!!!!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Pellegrini Post little more analogy than simile. despite the use of "like."

[@FractalTrades]

meat is murder

[@jessehenderson6071]

I played this song for someone who claimed to be "into all genres" and she said it was "too long and repetitive." I guess even tesseract can't cure cancer

[@lexievv]

They're lost :P

[@sugoruyo]

Play them Bleed by Meshuggah.

[@romelric]

This is just 5 mins tho, play Racecar next time

[@drumboarder1]

Try them on three minute warning

[@maximebeaudoin4013]

Internal flight by Estas Tone, he should find the lenght suitable. It's more than one fucking hour.

[@MMR_LM]

When I grow up I want to be Amos Williams

[@wren4077]

I'm 26, I still want to grow up and be Amos

[@Lolaandcassidyadventures]

Lord Amos on the bass.

[@billybobthekidiswack]

tesseract should should have a feature with the singer from the contortionist

[@DanielHoward777]

Billybobthekid or the singer from Intervals (lel)

[@anonaconn]

Fuck me, Michael Lessard is one of the only people I’ve ever seen live who compares to Dan. The band as a whole. Tesseract a genuinely exceptional live but I saw them once in Koko and Contortionist supported them - this is before I knew who Contortionist were - and they stole the show, maybe because it was so unexpected but still, The Contortionist like Tesseract are consummate professionals and true performers.

[@Pudrino]

I love you for saying this

[@Duckvan79]

This would be incredible!!

[@DystopianApocalypse]

omg michael lessard on a track yessssss!

[@SamuelB-]

Just came back to continue the the tradition of commenting on how fucking awesome this song and studio mix is. Looking forward to the new album!

[@lukamarkac6706]

Acle is THE boss. Everything he touches turns to gold. Fucking love that guy.

[@irockmajorly]

Luka Markač Acle is a genius

[@TYFLOL]

Luka Markač can't agree on that, but I'm glad you enjoy his production more than I do :)

[@TYFLOL]

Luka Markač can't agree on that, but I'm glad you enjoy his production more than I do :)

[@EmilioSfeir]

just out of curiosity, what you don't like about his production style? Personally I think him and Henrikk Udd are the best in Metal/Prog/Whatever right now

[@hackeritalics]

I never fail to be utterly amazed at how good the drummer is...

[@teehundeart]

hackeritalics yeah, he kinda flys under the radar. It took me a while until i realized how complex and on point his drumming actually is.

[@gSWG3R]

hackeritalics Jay is literally one of the best around currently. For those who understand polyrhythms, he played 5 over 4 during the middle of this song.

[@user-rn2re9re4b]

Omg yes, and the bassist ❤

[@brewhog]

Exactly why I always have a slack jaw every time I hear their music

[@shevcoo]

Lots of hemiola in the rhythm section

[@lyubomirgeorgiev1465]

I don't even know what to comment... been listening to this song thousand and thousand of times and not a single one of them has lacked massive goosebumps. What you guys think is music is actually a journey to the listener. Also... Martin with Dan is orgasmic ... never seen a better duo, although probably speaking from all fans we can see a Dan/Ashe duet. That would probably melt me in the cracks on the floor. Once again, unreal performance.

[@aliashrafhajiyev3902]

Dan/Ashe duo will be as a battle, maybe they will wright song which will perfect for them both ( HOPE SO ! )

[@elevenAD]

Dan and Ashes voices would work great together imo

[@nathandrums0]

I think ashe would be more of a background vocalist if they sang together due to how he can't belt on key like dan does.

[@bratzelwurks]

(5 months late) you got a good point there, but i see it the same way here. Dan has the power, Martin usually uses falsette whenever he has to get the high notes. When he does without, his voice gets shaky. And seeing it like this, i think Ashe would be a better fit than Martin. This is still beyond anything i've heard so far though. But the fantasy of Ashe and Dan together.. god lord. I'd love that.

[@DrummerRF]

that Ashe Dan combo has to be done

[@rakayabarre9528]

This song takes me somewhere else

[@MrSparkleYT]

Funny I should find this comment..... Still 2018 and its just yeah this song is....wow

[@xxleben85]

if that picture is you, then i love you

[@amansingh-lj3tg]

You are definitely arriving somewhere but not here

[@PatarMacAffee]

Bennett Marcelo Did it work buddy? Did she fall in love with you? If not I’ll shoot my shot next 😂

[@northernheirs8057]

Grech is so unreal...everything he touches is amazing.

[@rubricscube_]

I've had his new album on repeat for weeks...just brilliant

[@Hellion6325]

I got chills so hard at 4:42, I legit almost started crying jesus christ

[@denniskipp4350]

saaaaame

[@matthiasprice]

This song is fantastic in a hundred different ways, but Jesus Christ can do it in a million, and a million more

[@hologramma]

2023 and we´re still on this beautiful tune.

[@danielsay9842]

Martin Grech is woefully underrated - Open Heart Zoo was such an amazing album.

[@dizai]

It was an incredible album. I think maybe you're equating him not being widely famous/popular to being underrated but his work is very highly acclaimed by those that know it. I think he preferred to keep out of the spotlight and away from the machine of the music industry.

[@stevedorey9005]

Martin's vocal run at 3:27 gave me chills. I gotta check out his music!

[@reinieden2379]

Some of the best music I've ever heard in my life. Definitely my number one favorite musician.

[@OmarChouikha]

DON'T YOU DAAAAAAAAARE...goosebumps!!

[@nisus_drums]

Omar chouikha FUCKIN ME TOO

[@Lunitarium]

Forever one of my favorites. This blows the album version away by a lot. Tompkins should have at least one duet on every album. He works great with other vocalists.

[@louisgiannamore]

i want the babies of whoever mixed this

[@jadenkorr591]

That would be the guitar player of the band Acle

[@davidrestrepogutierrez8333]

That "don't you dare" ... daaaammm!!

[@Pughhead]

Martin's vibrato at 3:32...incredible.

[@adsensedd]

Sounded incredible then they hit that harmony just after 4:57 and I was just blown away.

[@user-wk7iu7zt9e]

Sorry to blow your bubble, but that backing vocal was pre-recorded, the same one from the album version of the song, not Martin. :/

[@Stargazertattooflowers]

Daniel and Martin sound like absolute perfection!!

[@cvekler]

Fucking brilliant.

[@helenafish5979]

Yes! and you will too)

[@irockmajorly]

Nikola Cvetković Your covers are brilliant, dude.

[@Eatcakeandnicetreats]

holy hell martin is incredible

[@jeremiahfernandez9161]

Jeez that Martin Grech guy is a fucking hypnotist with that voice

[@sggod89]

The intro vocals are soooo good. Best I've ever heard

[@m.w.5070]

martin grech brings this song to a whole different level

[@Xephyra]

Just wow. Probably one of the greatest songs ever made.

[@RockyStonester1]

tesseract binging atm. this is incredible. martin grech is a wonderful compliment to the song as well.

[@masensmith4226]

3:28 that skey modulation is just unbelievable. borders on being too flat then rounds out so nicely on the other end...masterful work

[@himamshuumesh384]

Gojira and TesseracT videos have THE most positive comment sections on the internet.Facts.

[@galvatron3000]

Perfect. Just like it should be, with two vocals.

[@mariusnoh]

And the style and aesthetics! Like NIN, it's difficult to define this music. +++

[@galvatron3000]

@@mariusnoh Yes. It's an atmosphere.

[@wadewaggoner]

Thats a sick bass.

[@viraglengyel4682]

TesseracT is my spirit animal..

[@shreykundra7]

Wishful thinking, but I would literally lose my shit if they made a Polaris live in studio as well. It's such a beautiful album, the small little nuances only come out live - this video being a perfect example. Some serious goosebump inducing stuff!

[@keksac]

Jay Postones the drummer just wrote this on facebook when linking this song: "After a very tiring festival period last year, we recorded a few live songs at Metropolis Studios in London. Here's the first, finally!" So i guess there's more coming!

[@EristicFan]

Kxo oh yes you can tell. There's nothing like live... takes over and over. you get tired. so do the vocalists.

[@TYFLOL]

Shrey Kundra also, I think the production on the album is really muffled, whereas it sounds a lot better and more natural here

[@SupraLugia]

holy shit this is amazing

[@AndresRenePR]

Hahaha if you haven't had put this, I was gonna put the exact same words.

[@lkzprd]

*wipes glasses* IS THAT A SUPRA !!!??

[@KrisEnigma]

Holy shit this has been posted for 2 months and only now it's semi-public? Damn.

[@blueskythinking4745]

KrisMactavish well this was actually recorded like a year ago or something. There's probably a good reason that they waited aside from editing and what not

[@cheyennefaulks1926]

Martin Grech is absolutely amazing

[@facelesscovers763]

Tesseract Earthside NeObliviscaris Gojira Opeth Skyharbour Etc Etc. What a time to be alive.

[@Stargazertattooflowers]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written!!¡!!

[@AndrewKola]

Still gives me the chills after finding out about the band like 4 years ago... so good

[@MikeGrinder666]

Is there something I should know Of the colours that you show? I remember those words In the back of my mind There is an old phantom It isn't a secret this mind's shrouded in history It isn't a secret this mind spirals in disarray It isn't a secret this mind shudders in mystery It isn't a secret I find terror in memory Come close. Don't be afraid, It's stranger than you think Desperately opiate, weary Feverish host to us, teary eyed History hexes us History hexes us Don't look. Don't think Don't feel. Don't move. Don't breathe Don't make a sound. It lives. It breathes In my conscious mind (Rosebud don't change) It isn't a secret this mind's shrouded in history It isn't a secret this mind spirals in disarray It isn't a secret this mind shudders in mystery It isn't a secret I find terror in memory I live and breathe again These gory locks, don't you dare forget them Don't you dare. Don't you dare. History hexes us I breathe again History hexes us I live again

[@PedalNinja]

This song is a masterpiece, it gives me goosebumps every time i hear it

[@neti23]

With this band I always discover sounds I haven't heard before.

[@cesarxcastanheira]

My god, this is unbelievable! So amazing! The way their voices complement each other, wow!

[@Nando_2]

There's this one moan in the album that's so perfect in the "rosebud don't change" part... It's honestly what makes me get so into this song on a physical head banging level

[@Stargazertattooflowers]

Martin...im absolutely speechless!!!?

[@L.K.Z.K]

It's been a month i have been listening to all of tesseract's discography on repeat and I literally can't stop.

[@amianc]

Guess I'm on your path, started two weeks ago...

[@L.K.Z.K]

@@amianc Tesseract On buddy \m/

[@Nickolaars]

Dan and Martin blend really well.

[@amytiger]

It is beyond lovely to hear more Martin Grech

[@geometricart7851]

You guys need to do another version of this...please to cleanse my soul and invite Martin back he's magical.

[@Solarbrightofficial]

Extraordinary vocals line, tight sound, incredible performance, same sound than Polaris album.

[@murchimusmaximus]

Been a massive fan of both artists for over 11 years now! Always epicness 🤘🏼

[@hms2407]

Everytime I listen to this I get goosebumps.

[@Jethrospect]

Has anyone got goosebumps from the beginning to the end of the song? Man, this is so strong!!

[@EliVanFleet]

Literally one of the most haunting and incredible songs ever made. Reminds me of beauty and the beast for some reason.

[@SBTones]

I love this song so much! And I am also so grateful of having these lyrics handwritten by Dan

[@martarzepnikowska6167]

Whenever I listen to hexes in this version, I can not get out of shock ... I can not believe that the work of so many people has created such a breathtaking track! Voices and instruments become one, feel harmony and at the same time hm ... pleasant anxiety from which do not want to go out.

[@Stargazertattooflowers]

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION... MAKES ME FEEL THINGS I DIDNT THING I COULD!!!!

[@EXHellfire]

jesus christ Grech has a phenomenal voice

[@Musicmansam28]

Wow, just completely blown away with this immaculate performance. Everything is just in perfect harmony......could watch these guys all day in the studio, I love these sessions!!!

[@LAPALMAWORLD]

now, this verison is gold

[@Gatviener]

I love this song

[@nova495]

Love those harmonies.

[@Stargazertattooflowers]

Absolutely flawless!!!!!!

[@DogtownFS]

How come this has been uploaded as unlisted for so long guys? This is truly stunning. The mix is so crisp too, love it!

[@JulianEmdon]

This piece of music is up there with Stairway and Bohemian Rhapsody.

[@v1LL2n]

It saddens me to think how bad music is these days, when masterpieces like this go unheard.

[@teehundeart]

Luke Crompton stupid comment. you heard it, as well as many others. Music isn't bad these days, there is a lot of great stuff out there

[@v1LL2n]

No shit Sherlock. Im talking about the masses and what gets played over the radio. The fact that Bohemian Rhapsody was played on mainstream radio, and this will never make the airlines is a disappointment. But thanks for the insult bud, have a day.

[@teehundeart]

Luke Crompton i'm also (if not exclusively) talking about music that's getting played on the radio

[@ArturoGarcia007]

my local radio station blows. all they play is led zeppelin and eagles and just overall overrated garbage. every once in a while they do play RUSH but that's super rare. have better chances at winning lottery lol

[@stefannikolov6560]

Musicianship like this deserves synonyms like epic, larger than life... Wow, just wow!

[@luizalmeida5398]

I guess I just shat my pants, holy fucking shitty crap... that's so perfect, so intense, it brought the most deep feelings right out, goosebumps, tears, hell, I can't stop listening... Please Tesseract, do Seven like this one, or April, or Eden or every song else....

[@memphis1373]

oh my god!!! UNEREAL!!!

[@Djeraldancheta]

This song is truly an adventure.. Music can hit so hard, it's incredible. TesseracT

[@Andy_Rose90]

The harmonies

[@mickylaG]

The Talent is unreal

[@xxhyjynxx5939]

After enduring a terrifyingly beautiful near death experience, I feel an emotional connection to these lyrics.. This version, however, made tears stream down my face in recollection of those events. Amazing how much influence this band has over my emotions.. what a wonderful song.

[@leons.kennedy8885]

absolutely glorious........

[@shadow_finds_light]

This is utter is perfection on every single level. Brings tears to my eyes every time. Great musical collaboration. ♡

[@marcosvini7112]

Beautiful Work Long live TesseracT

[@overextended2010]

This is an absolute smashing song. I haven't played a song over and over since I was a child. Riveting, capturing, alluring, just incredible.

[@akhimakhi93]

Wow, all this time I assumed the first verse was done by Dan on record. Martin's a beast.

[@cr0wguitar]

WTF is everything sung up to around 2:10 to you? The first intro?

[@akhimakhi93]

JAMof87 No shit dickwad. What would you call it?

[@naean7518]

Thank god it wasn't just me! Haha they both have great voices and Dan's vocal range and pitch is so broad that I thought the first verse was just him and any duet singing was just layers in the recording, all done by Dan!

[@etheriusmoon1809]

When I first heard this I thought it was only Dan, again, this was the first song I've heard of tesseract so I thought it was only me until I found out this was duet heh

[@shelldonn9963]

It's criminal how little views this has from what it deserves.

[@A7XNoiD]

I could listen to this all day

[@stillnesssolutions]

Is that a thunder sound effect I can hear? Amazing performance and their voices complement and dance off each other so nicely. Honestly one of the best 'two-singer-one-being-a-guest-vocalist' collaborations I've ever heard.

[@HPLa5erjet]

They never cease to amaze me.

[@gmsackman]

Beyond stunning.

[@marcelotcorrea]

[@BillyPalmerMusic]

Wow I can appreciate this even more than the OG, simply amazing!

[@shadow_finds_light]

Can't stop listening to this. Everything is perfect. Every subtle nuance. Every note. All of it.

MISSED THIS BAND SO MUCH!!!
