TesseracT - Daniel Tompkins - King (from Sonder) - Live in the studio vocal performance 2020

[@paulblackwood46]

Utter, absolute talent. One of the best UK bands on the scene.

[@athinaparianou7025]

He sings with such ease... Even in the hardest runs of the song not a single vein in his neck shows

[@flatland4185]

yes, and many criticize it but I think they will never reach that level

[@LucresntBlade]

Yeah imagine if he Tried and Put it Serious Emotions !

[@athinaparianou7025]

@@LucresntBlade yeah i agree with that. everyone can and should improve their skills. he clearly has more to give than he already does

[@cameronherrick6639]

@@athinaparianou7025 i think if he did that it would hinder the performance. Being as relaxed as possible while singing in the higher register (or any register) is one of the characteristics of a really good singer that uses proper technique. You can tell he is not straining in the slightest which is really cool

[@Queenmania2007]

@@LucresntBlade One of the things that makes vocalists like Dan remarkable is that he can sing with apparently little effort - focus on "apparently". It's bordering on insulting to imply he is not trying or putting in emotion; this man has spent years perfecting his technique and pours emotion into everything he does. If you can't see that here then you never will.

[@kellyhowell8479]

This man… what an amazing vocalist. The grittiest parts are so beautifully done, the control, the ease, I could go on forever. Gorgeous.

Bloodstock 2019 right? Great performance

[@lisabyford]

New to properly listening to this band. Beautiful ❤

[@MaciekCzwartos]

Just put it here to sing along :) You died within me The boatmen came to sail me down the river Bind me up with visions of a blind man I operate this way Turn nothing into gold Death on such an ugly day You dine like a king on top of the world You show us all That forgiveness is the weakest call And now revenge Against that grudge inside your tiny head Remove the crown of absolution Let the retribution fly The king has all the king has all But words can kill and maim and take their toll And you massacre my dreams at night And eat away at every thought Until we take control The king has all totalitarian and carnivore Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground Until it's safe to breathe and coexist again Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground Until it's safe to live and coexist again They're taking away the freedom to be just you They're taking away the freedom to be just you They're taking away the freedom to be just you They're taking away the freedom to be just you But the sun always shines for you They're taking away the freedom to be just you You'd kill to find me But the crown above my head is deadly They're taking away the freedom to be just you They're taking away the freedom to be just you

[@AelfwineGaming]

Not recovered yet from the astounding performance of some days ago. And tonight... here we go again!

[@hermancasdy]

Please help me im obsessed with this song!!!

[@otterguyty]

Dan your composure and control are a pleasure to watch. You are a master of your craft.

[@DanielTompkins]

Thanks, dude!

[@sahirytube]

His style is different from others, amazing how he effortlessly scream, so calmly, without cupping the mic.

[@retrohipster994]

A lot of the time performers will cut the mic when singing on stage because you really don't want to go to Crazy loud vocally in a scream after night. So they'll cup the microphone so they don't have to stress their vocal cords as much to be loud. because Dan is doing this in studio and has a greater ability to play with vocal Dynamics his microphone is set much more sensitive then you would see on a normal stage performance. (Also he is using a stage condenser and not a dynamic mic like the sm85) If you were to cup the mic it would cause serious clipping and Distortion in this scenario. this difference is also why Dan sounds quite a bit different singing on stages. They can't have the microphone sensitivity too high or they will cause serious feedback so they rely on more powerful vocals through sections that would normally be more quiet. In order to do those parts Dan has to basically use a different vocal technique when he is seeing them on a loud stage so that he doesn't strain his voice.

[@irockmajorly]

@@retrohipster994 also, to build on that, Daniel uses pitched fry screams for his screaming technique, which is significantly louder than most other screaming techniques, so he wouldn't need to cup the mic

[@emanuelstude4912]

@@irockmajorly isn't fry screams more quiet than false chord screaming

[@antonflystrup932]

@@emanuelstude4912 yes

[@evaperezazabal8016]

My god, every single time that I hear one of your songs is just to confirm that you are still my favorite band! Those vocals!! ♥

[@Prog4Prog]

Can’t wait for this kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2bFhpqaa9Wjm5I

[@deetsitmeisterjd]

His live cleans are flawless and the few screams in this song are insane, it doesn't even sound like it's coming out of Dan's mouth. God damn.

[@emanuelstude4912]

Yeah the screams are breathtaking. The screams made this song the first time I heard it but I have come to like everything in it. It is to me their best song.

[@simeithander]

Three types of voices in a song, this vocal is amazing

[@mariagheata2133]

It's absolutely insane and mind blowing how Daniel pushes and gets better and better constantly over time. Less and less processing but better performances. Massive respect.

[@merry8647]

This is honestly one of the best songs ever written, and a very large part of the credit goes to your vocals.

[@tonywarner891]

just Incredible!!!!! Daniel Tompkins is so outstanding as a vocalist. Huge Thank you to TESSERACT for keeping us in your music during these difficult times.

[@TheSilentHorizon]

found you guys after your lockdown concert. Has to be the best live recording ive ever heard.

[@HerrSheeps]

Same here. I have no idea how they've escaped me for so long!

[@thibautgorissen4218]

Welcome to heaven

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

Dude... you're in for a treat. Been top 3 bands since 2010 for me

[@lorkhan610]

When I saw them live in the beginning I thought they used playback because it sounded 1:1 as on CD. This flawlessness is inhuman...

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

@@lorkhan610 they played my dream setlist in Toronto in 2016. Exile, Nocturne, April, etc...

[@hologramma]

TesseracT is perfection, enough said.

[@leester321]

heard this song for the first time today. When he says "bow down to me and kiss the ground"!! Blows my mind every time!

[@anghelica21]

Damn it, Dan, you are a complete singer and a true artist, your voice has something, it transports me to another world. 🥰

[@smokeater435]

It’s incredible to see how Dan has progressed as a vocalist and refined his art over the years. Since coming back to TesseracT again he has vastly improved! Very cool to see and hear.

[@Projectgrowl]

Just saw Tesseract open for In Flames last weekend in Sweden. Oh DANG what a pleasant surprise that was! So tight it was almost ridiculous!

This is just brilliant! 😍 I wish I could go back in time, two years ago today, right around this hour, I was taking a short walk from my house in Toronto to the beautiful Opera House concert hall to see you perform (with the amazing Plini opening the show) on the Sonder tour! And you played this song that night. Memories of May 22, 2018... Sigh.
