2:17 Dan activates the falsetto switch located on his forehead

[@nathandrums0]

I've taken notice to this myself and it cracks me up every time now haha

[@musaa.7973]

maybe he feels the vibration to hit the correct note

[@MJ-vd8bj]

People who think Metal is just noise should listen to this

[@SketchSquadTV]

😂

[@RTSRAZORBACK]

I love how they sound so tight and identical to the record. All of them have some mega talent but Dan's vocals are so perfect when compared to the albums.

[@RTSRAZORBACK]

Sadly, I wouldn't know :( I live in the UK as well but never seem to catch them touring the UK!

[@jannananaa]

My friend who passed and I used to belt this so loud....this song has gotten me through SO much...thank you TesseracT. Just...thank you.

[@tegged1]

So sorry for your loss. Daniel is the man.

[@jannananaa]

@@tegged1 thank you 💕💕💕💕

[@tegged1]

@bananajanna you're welcome. Hang in there.

[@wrouxmer]

Sorry for your loss I'm sure it's hard.. Fuck yeah your friend had good taste

[@wrouxmer]

May he rest in peace and always be remembered

[@Redbullinator2000]

When he started doing the ooooh yeahs and kept changing them I was like “he’s not gonna do the high one all the way is he?” Simply because I already thought it was not possible but came here to see if he could really do that. I’m sorry for doubting you, Daniel that shit blew me away.... 🤯

[@twinny_mi]

I'm glad I'm not the only one looking through TesseracT's live performances right now ;)

[@freezingmoon5663]

OMG JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS AND I AM FREAKING OUT!!! This band is an absolute treasure, they are all good at what they do, and boy can Daniel dude sing...do you even 2:05 bro?I have a total crush on every single one of them. I feel blessed to be able to listen to such amazing music. They changed and renewed everything I knew about music.

[@freezingmoon5663]

Haha , you're very kind, but I own every single album he ever featured. I've been tracking down every single thing he ever sang. I even preordered his new Zeta album even though it's not exactly my kind of music. Yup, I'm pretty obsessed. I will never be able to get bored of his voice, he's beyond brilliant, and a huge inspiration.

[@freezingmoon5663]

Not to mention freaking SKYHARBOR!! Man, that band is a gem. I am also contemplating this ideea, unfortunately I am quite busy. PS: I am pretty sure we chatted somewhere before, your profile picture and name are very familiar. But I can't tell where.

[@freezingmoon5663]

Haha, yea man, something like that. Same goes for you. What can I say, life would be complete shit without this amazing music.

[@jeffreybordoloi]

Dan has one of the most amazing voice around.Always a tesseract fan.Polaris album proves it all.Cant wait for the new album.

[@SergeyPupkoMusic]

It's not enough that the music is absolute piece of heaven for the ears but the message cuts deep. What a masterpiece!

[@FoiMal123]

He's the best vocalist in my book.

[@drumsno]

This makes me appreciate Dan's vocals on this song a lot more

[@LeonidasKaragiannis]

Please, I haven't heard any other band in the last 2 years since I found you guys

[@user-jq9vx5gk8z]

It's not a song it's a miracle! I am happy that I heard her alive at the concert of the very first!

[@gb4metal]

From 2:04 there is a climax of mind blowing; then at 2:18 the goosebumps paralysed me. Thank you Dan, thank you TesseracT for this masterpiece.

[@SaellihSC]

i can't even handle the part in 2:19. Drop dead AMAZING!

[@musaa.7973]

seeing it live high as fuck..... out of body experience

[@TruantReacts]

This blasts me off to another place, fucking hell lads wow.

[@RyanRizzo79]

the tone on the guitars... love this band

[@sarakaster]

2:20 he activates his third eye there...that's what we hear here.

[@madam-mint]

that, and maybe that's where the falsetto button is lol

[@PotatoWagon]

@@madam-mint Can confirm, there's a falsetto button. Tried it on myself

[@footballorsoccer_]

Please do more studio sessions! I would love to hear Utopia and Cages.

[@nano7586]

It’s just great to see that Hugh Grant is such an amazing bassist.

[@FisherKot11235]

Greatest band of all time.

[@kushantaiidan]

Watching this band grow, evolve and mature is just an absolute joy. And there is just some kind of chemistry with these guys, and also handling the change of vocalists over time yet maintaining that... something,... These are some special bros!

[@marybode8042]

I could just listen to 2:17-2:34 over and over again... oh wait, I do

I was looking for this comment! This part brings tears to my eyes every time!

[Phoenix] You exist and you're a friend of mine Will we even live in harmony? You're alive, it's not the end of the line Will we learn? Cynical; the generations were abandoned here No life is ever fair When the mechanical fires are raging The revolution's here I can breathe again I choose to never let go, lose control See through the sights of a rifle Live through the eyes of a child Walk through the mind of minor to extol I must change because I've been chasing shadows Change, immersed in the night Desperate and taken Change, run with the pride of a lion You exist and you're a friend of mine Will we even live in harmony You're alive, it's not the end of the line Will we learn? I'm a failure I'm the wreckage in the storm I'm enlightened Unafraid I am reborn Cynical, the generations were abandoned here No life is ever fair When the mechanical fires are raging The revolution's here

[@stephenthomson6230]

I am so happy to have found out about TesseracT. Your music moves me that few others. I am consuming all your recorded music and recording of live shows. Hope to see you live sometime.

[@ImLiquorice]

The best band of the whole world

[@RTSRAZORBACK]

Whoever mixed this - I hope they did the new and/or next album too!

[@etaylxr]

RTSRAZORBACK Was mixed by the guitarist haha. I assume he mixes most/all of their albums as well

[@Stbricechannel]

Guitarts Acle Kahney is the main producer and he mixes all their albums

[@governmentphone5103]

Everytime I hear this I have a full on spiritual experience!

[@TinaReggie]

Perfect performance and I love the video editing. You guys are such incredibly incredible musicians 😉. And Dan, at 2:18. Chills.

[@kronosecw]

I remember the days back on the Petrucci forum where Bulb and Tesseract would throw out these insane demo songs. Interesting to see them both grow

[@RodzChris]

Bulb as in Misha's "bulb"

[@FastRedPonyCar]

RodzChris yeah. He was a regular pleb like the rest of us once. He was a regular on the Harmony Central forum also.

[@ggstarwizzrd]

wow what a head voice!

[@kristoferjafetsson805]

[@dirksichveland9571]

Wish I had heard these guys sooner, but maybe I was not ready. Timely and priceless now. Thanks.

[@CyclopticAether]

Yup seen them in Glasgow and his vocals were flawless especially on this track 👌🔥🤘

[@vijaychhatbar]

He sounds the same when live. I was lucky enough to witness them perform live when they visited India. This one has to be my favorite song of Tesseract ♥️

Just read on Instagram that this is the last one of the live in studio series from Polaris. Super bummed about not being able to witness a true Seven Names performance. And when I say true - hardcore Tess fans would know exactly what I'm referring to.

[@BaronVonBlair]

[@evenS74R]

I love this song!!!!!

[@natehaskey9300]

Good god that was amazing

[@JoshuaDavidMurillo]

I feel like Dan sings everything at like 75% effort. The songwriting is great for what it is. But I used to listen to Tesseract when I would work out, and now I don't. They used to have a very heavy, primal sound. They're like a meditative band now, which is cool if that's what they are shooting for.

[@the1111machi]

JoshintheGym In the end it's about the emotion, not about the kind of "heavyness". Emotion is not a opinion.

[@JoshuaDavidMurillo]

Many opinions are formed based on emotions. Maybe I'm missing your point.

[@DioHard]

He is talking about the emotion the song delivers.

[@nathandrums0]

They've gone from a chuggy band to a melodic band. Their new teaser stuff though is pretty heavy, I personally like the more mature melodic stuff more. Altered state is a fantastic album but I wish it was recorded exactly the same just with dans voice instead.

[@lyubomirgeorgiev1465]

CHECK THE ONE WHICH CAME JUST NOW OH MY GOD I AM DYING

[@twinny_mi]

I love the portals performance of this song more, but this one of course was more of a softer version that I like because in Portals he had a more louder sound in the verses, nevermind its so hard to choose lmaoo
