TesseracT “Legion” | Aussie Metal Heads Reaction

[@smrtsvta]

These guys are djent pioneers and Dan Tompkins ( the vocalist) is one of the best ever

[@esaedvik]

Word. Daniel really is amazeballs and such a nice dude.

[@wingsoficarus1139]

prog. They are more prog

[@thallakai]

​@@wingsoficarus1139they're obviously prog, but they still pioneered djent.

[@wingsoficarus1139]

@@thallakai I dont consider Djent to be a real genre and neither do the people in bands like Periphery, Meshuggah, or even TesseracT.

[@thallakai]

I don't care.

A Tesseract is a 4th dimensional cube in theoretical physics

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

Top comment for me ❤

[@rsbdotexe]

Y'all just need to listen to the entire new album. It's top tier stuff.

[@hailstone_]

Facts

[@jadeH23.16]

Thanks for playing my request🤟 Trust me "war of being" album by tesseract, is so beautiful and fades in and out of each other if you listen to the album all the way through :) !!!! such a great album!!! One of the best for 2023 Also tesseract is touring to Australia next year in may 🕺

[@hailstone_]

Thanks for requesting this man

[@cyanihilist]

If this is the same Jade out of Dan/Jay's discord, you're a legend. I've been wanting these guys to do a TesseracT reaction for a goddamn long while.

[@jadeH23.16]

@@cyanihilist IT IS AHAHA awsome!!! Im glad i had a influence to get them to check out tesseract! Such a great band- only found them this year and def one of my favourite bands ever!!!

[@WitzyZed]

spot on with the karnivool connection, in their "director's commentary" vid up on KZbin, Acle mentions them in discussion of this track

[@auradmg]

The first time I saw TesseracT they were supporting Karnivool :D

[@reneniclasen353]

Was waiting for this one. It's a class tune that keeps growing on you. These guys are masters at creating soundscapes. Daniel did a vocal breakdown of the song with Chris Liepe, if you're into that.

[@GeZz.]

Dan is amazing , the vocal talent he has, my god!! i love this band i discover them in 2018

[@kefkaspawn79]

"How many vocal tones does this guy have?" Dan: "Yes"

[@joshuavaughan8510]

What a band. You can get lost in their Concealing Fate Ep and it's magic.

[@hailstone_]

Agreed that’s my fav but I still love all their stuff 🔥

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

This is my favourite track! His vocals are amazing! You’ve really gotta do “WAR OF BEING” 🖤

[@cossakos]

TesseracT are touring Aussie next May, get amongst it!

[@neardark901]

Thanks for the new band on my Spotify) the vocals brought back memories of the band Chevelle

[@two_days_slow]

One of my all time favorite bands. Nathan, you nailed it. Such a great band to just get lost in the music to. See them live if you get the chance. Im seeing them for the 4th time next month. See t

[@octaviogallo8513]

I can't believe they reacted to Tesseract, for those of us who have been listening to the band for a while it means a lot to us, they created a genre! It would be nice to see more reactions to bands of this style like Haken, VOLA, Soen, etc.

[@Antellathletic1903]

Soen are top tier ngl

[@BMXkidzevan1]

Finallly!!!!! Some tess on the channel

[@freas8520]

Saw them live in Gävle, Sweden back in 2019 together with Jinjer, Freak Kitchen and Animals as Leaders. Fantastic show!

[@deboraherskine8503]

Tesseract are one of my all time favourite bands. You put any of their albums on and you just get swallowed inside it from start to finish. I don't personally have any other bands do that to me.

[@ennessAU]

WAR OF BEING! An absolutely epic track, one of the best music videos in the past few years.

[@jhamilton1007]

Very cinematic and fitting for the epicness of the song.

[@BMXkidzevan1]

WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE A WAR OF BEING REACTION!!

[@cyanihilist]

The name comes from the actual geometrical tesseract, though with their love of space they could certainly pass a Marvel check. So stoked you guys have finally checked these guys out on the channel.

[@seanlawrence9107]

Great reaction

[@lc81002]

They weren't really on my radar until the singles for this album started dropping, and they are all amazing.

[@Kelly.sapphire]

This song showcased the singers talent. Other songs show better how great rest of the band is. Get to see them again live this month.

[@MatthewNope]

It's like some of my favourite Between the Buried and Me passages condensed into one song.

[@MatthewNope]

For anyone into long songs, BTBAM's "Swim to the Moon" is around 18mins of phenomenal prog metal.

[@imast5112]

Best vocalist in the genre

[@robdurfee6861]

It’s not a reference, they’ve been around longer than the MCU. TesseracT formed in 2003, the Tesseract in the MCU was first introduced/mentioned in 2011

[@devilwearsprada2100]

The comics are way older describing a tesseract so it came way before the band

[@chuckh9168]

And it’s been a theoretical physics reference since before comic books, so…

[@esaedvik]

@@devilwearsprada2100 Pretty adorable that someone would think the movies just plopped into being without comics though :D

[@devilwearsprada2100]

@esaedvik this is very true. And I will never claim to be an expert but I know 90% of the time comics came first

[@Musabre]

Their name is just based on the concept of a tesseract, it's a cool/geeky/interesting concept. and makes for a great metal band name.

[@esaedvik]

The making of this video is bonkers cool :D Saying "This is a bit proggy" about a progmetal band is very on-point.

[@kefkaspawn79]

Still waiting on another Teseract reaction peeps 😂

[@justinsnow1269]

To the blue shirt guy. The Album this is from is the ultimate drive for an hour and listen CD. I liked this band previously, but never hit my top shelf till this album. Specifically this song... but there are quite a few special songs on this record. This album is an experience better when listened to straight through.

[@theavereviewer7081]

Tesseract is a four dimensional cube, or Hypercube. Way before comics or the MCU. It just applied to the structure of the cosmic cube in the MCU.

[@eulerianpath6355]

Nah y’all gotta do WAR OF BEING !!!!

[@davecumming1903]

One of the best live bands around, they're coming to Australia next year lads so go see them, you won't regret it.

[@joseogdcalistenia]

War of being of tesseract guys!

[@jamescombridgeart]

Worth a deep dive if you're into the prog, periphery, karnivool, tool flavours you're picking up \m/

[@mattvsmetaverse]

Highly recommend "War of Being" and "Tourniquet".

[@musica5409]

the astronaughty line won me over guys lol

[@nathandjohnny]

YOU’RE WELCOME

[@Prog4Prog]

Yeh I subbed just for that cheesy dad joke. Keep them coming 😂

[@WeerdMunkee]

No, they did not get their name from Marvel. It's a geometrical reference. A tesseract is a four dimensional representation of a cube. Essentially, a tesseract is to a cube as a cube is to a square. It represents their music perfectly. Their music is continuously going within and outside itself. It's a square inside a cube and a cube inside a square. 😊

[@brian_7934]

Teserract like the 4d cube👍

[@aliyahburnette8018]

Oh I went to see invent animate last night in Greensboro NC with aviana, thrown and void of vision I got to speak with James from void of vision and I got to talk to jack from void of vision and got a picture with him.

[@theellimistlives]

I got major Sevendust vibes during some parts of this song

[@djonylopes4503]

I love that band, react more of Tesseract ‘s songs, this stufe is uge 🤘🏽

[@matthewneedham9091]

Pretty sure they get their name from the shape. The TesseracT is to the cube what the cube is to the square. They’re absolutely a band that requires time to absorb. No superficial cheap thrills with these boys.

[@BMXkidzevan1]

SO ARE WE GETTING A WAR OF BEING REACTION!?!

[@donnygushue8152]

Be a good friend haha!

[@michaelboyes4948]

React to their song 'War of Being' highly recommend it 👌

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

It's about cloning and all the subsequent djent look-a-likes that have popped up

[@rasvaloota24]

I totally understand why it’s hard for you guys to react an 11 minute long mv. However, if you’d have to pick one mv of such lenght to react to, War of Being might be the most worthy pick because it is essentially as condense and full of ”good reaction moments” as an 11 minute long prog song can be. Nonetheless, appriciate what you lads do for us and happy to watch whatever content you choose fit to release. Cheers! ✌🏽

[@kefkaspawn79]

War of Being next please

[@Moon_DK]

I love me some genuine reactions, which there are less of lately because it's become sort of a trend.

[@yabaigarage]

This is like Coheed and Cambria having a baby with a Nu-metal band. Bizarre, but I kinda liked it.

[@TheDelanooch]

Yeah, I need to check out more from these guys. I get the Tool vibe but at the beginning, I was thinking more A Perfect Circle with his vocal melodies and that almost alt-rock guitar.

[@auradmg]

Their Altered State album is my favourite piece of music, it's a bit contentious because they had a different vocalist (Ashe O'Hara of Voices From The Fuselage) and people like to argue about who is 'better.' Ashe's vocals and lyric-writing is quite a lot different to Dan's (a bit more pop-influenced compared to their previous album One, no heavy vocals but some awesome multi-layered harmonies) and the album itself is a little less heavy to match that. Since Dan returned for their third album they've gone from strength to strength but War of Being is an incredible album. I love that they don't go in for solos or particularly gnarly riffs, just some of the smoothest grooves you've ever heard.

[@trav202]

Devin Townsend meets muse

[@DashyAndDadReacts]

Gday Mates! love this reaction liked and subbed . we've also done this one!

[@ashleighjane]

Dude has RANGE. Very "theatrical" sounding voice in some parts. I struggle with prog, and his low vocals aren't grabbing me still, but the song overall is slowly growing on me. With that being said, I just can't bring myself to listen to a 9 song, one hour prog album yet 😅 I'll get there!

[@auradmg]

Have you heard their album Altered State? It has a different vocalist who doesn't use heavy vocals and has a bit more of a 'pop' style. It also happens to be an absolute masterpiece. :D

[@MetalRock92]

#prog4ever

[@anti_MATT_er]

I thought you were talking about Legion being a Marvel reference at first.

[@daeloro]

You actually really need to do the 11 minute one ;)

[@gSWG3R]

Dan Tompkins is a huge gamer. They often reference them in their lyrics. It may be that marvel influenced the title of the song.... if they are fans of the MCU. However, the lyrics certainly don't have anything to do with MCU. Their new album is deeply personal, introspective, and themed around transcendent of one's own personal struggles to forge a sense of self and identity - hence the title of the album 'War of Being' ... P.S. you guys should react to the title track of the album. It's an 11-minute proggy journey containing intensely complex musicianship, stanky and filthy heavy bendy/djenty guitars and bass, and an absolute vocal master-class from Dan.

[@DM72513]

You boys did Tesseract but you won't do Rivers of Nihil?!?!?

[@Deadly_Offset]

Yall gotta listen to the other blink 182 track they released with one more time

[@KONTAGIONMUSIC]

fun fact! none of the visuals are real lol. none of them
