Vocalist Dan Tompkins comments on the video: "As musicians we've never had 'overnight' success; we've all worked tirelessly for well over a decade and committed to many personal sacrifices to exist as a band. Survival is a hard hitting song about the struggles we've encountered along the way but specifically and especially about the strain and burden of being apart from our loved ones to whom we are forever beholden for their steadfast and loving support. The idea behind our video represents that struggle for Survival and the burning desire to be reunited with our families after long periods of absence"
With the stunning Derbyshire landscape as a backdrop ‘Survival’ was filmed & directed by Pele Newell (www.pelenewell.com ) he said “Working with TesseracT has been great, it's nice to work with people that are so passionate about what they do.” On the video concept he comments”The video is set in the near future where Imani (The actors) has been framed. Central are hunting him down as they have already captured his family. He's on a constant battle to find them without being captured himself.”

The bass sound is HUGE.

It always is

00:35 - 01:30 their absolutely best intro.

[@freackyvice]

That chorus is probably the most beautiful thing i've ever heard.

[@eqskolkata4460]

No disrespect mate, but ye need to listen to more music.

[@freackyvice]

@@eqskolkata4460 No disrespect mate but I believe musical taste is extremly indivudual. In other words you don’t have my ears. Six years has passed sense I wrote that comment and this chorus is still in my top 10 favourites of all time.

Really wish the opening riff returned at the end.

[@ScreamsinSweaters]

***** The bass cut so hard on the first riff I wanted that again. Ill admit they got me to hit replay just to here the beginning agian.

[@julianofsatown]

+Tim Medic totally agree ha

[@mariusmeyer3243]

+Tim Medic It might actually, at least on the record. The other singles/videos were radio edits, too, why not this one? Also, at first I was like "Dan, is that you?" Still love it though

[@Myusernameistakenwtf]

i agree, the beginning is beautiful

[@ScreamsinSweaters]

Now that im listening to this closer, I hear that the bass and guitar are switching off notes. basically muting the bass every time the guitar plays this is why the bass cuts in and out so hard. Im guessing this is super hard to play and they didnt want to have to do it live every chorus but anyways thats just my theory

[@rhmm96]

I needed 5 years to discover this song. I have finally arrived!

[@seanmartin2519]

Lyrics; Will I disappear with the vision of tomorrow Will I disappear? Will I disappear with the vision of tomorrow Will I disappear until I can’t feel the light Will I disappear? With the memory of the sorrow Will I disappear? Until I can’t feel the light Ten years of hope have passed, you felt alone And pictured life a little differently And people say that life has just begun You waited patiently, a lotus in the sun You radiate from me in luminescent light And people say that life has just begun When you're not a part of me I feel dead inside Disturbed - will I disappear with the vision of tomorrow Until I can’t feel the light Disturbed - and I get the feeling I’ve been here before I'm the abandoner Ten years of sorrow pass and no pleasure in the sun You couldn’t cope in all honesty The secrets of the past will come undone Seasons of change elapse on an omen's trust Faithfully until the day you die And people say the journey’s just begun When you're not a part of me, I feel dead inside Disturbed - will I disappear with the vision of tomorrow Or will I fall? Disturbed - and I get the feeling I’ve been here before Disturbed - will I disappear with the vision of tomorrow Or will I fall? Disturbed - and I get the feeling I’ve been here before I'm the abandoner

[@gabrielacotosck]

+Sean Martin Great work! Maybe 2nd part of the song starts with "Ten years of sorrow pass(ed) and no pleasure..."?

[@akira9946]

+Sean Martin I think it's Destroyed instead of Disturbed maybe, I'm not sure, great work tho :D

[@nalnoot]

+Aki Ra it sounds more like "distraught". i could be wrong :P

[@TEKNorway]

+Falko Suiker i agree on Distraught

[@julianofsatown]

+Sean Martin im hearing him say disturbed and destroyed at diff times

[@Ryan-wb2wp]

[@BlvckjvckRecordings]

+Ryan Merica Ryan Merica, gtfo of all the prog metal vids on KZbin! :P

[@BlvckjvckRecordings]

nah

[@Poorscousertommy1892]

This is exactly why I'm happy to seen Dan Tompkins back, he's a very versatile vocalist and his range encourages Tesseract to experiment. Amazing, absolutely amazing. Oh, and 'dat Amos Williams.

[@blueskythinking4745]

They would have been just as great if Ashe was in the band..

[@Poorscousertommy1892]

+Brendon stacey I agree Ashe is an incredible vocalist but for me Dan's vocals are more versatile, which allows them to try new things and this is different to anything else they've done.

[@blueskythinking4745]

I don't know, altered state was pretty new and sounded nothing like one

[@Poorscousertommy1892]

+Brendon stacey But conceptually, the vocals were very similar between songs on that album. Messenger and now Survival are extremely different. Before I get complained at, I really like Altered State.

[@blueskythinking4745]

I just feel like exile, singularity and resist are their best songs to date it was a massive step up from one, messenger for me was just okay and this is good but I haven't heard anything as of yet that's blown me away like those three particular songs did for me

[@ATMOSPHRS]

That snare_

[@TheJozzi]

+ATMOSPHERES Im glad you guys are following along side Tesseract, bought your album and you guys Ruleeeeeee!!!!!

[@bouncepresents]

+ATMOSPHERES That kick with that fretless. Love ur green bullet usage. If you haven't already, check Joe's Garage, especially the last 10mins, it's got pretty good musicians.

[@jameskirkbydrums]

that snare: much sample many EQ processing wow

[@ATMOSPHRS]

+crymzynplague It might be. Anyway, it fits the music perfectly. Job well done_

[@rezafelayati6574]

dat groove at 4:28 till the end....that's why I love Tesseract :)

[@ameliarose3142]

The song and quality of the video seems like it just came out this year (2022). Out of all albums, Polaris is timeless for me. I always seem to come back to that one more than the others. ❤️

[@Birdseed99]

Instant classic. That US tour is going to be incredible.

[@joaoldmedeiros]

super sick! wish there was more of dat first groove tho :D

I can't be the only one that thinks that actor's wardrobe is on point.

[@rgh1132]

if it was me I's change the shirt under the jacket to a maroon or wine for some color and yeah totally on target. maybe even a designed blue with a few different shades. but if you don't like color then go with a neutral gray, the black's repetitive. not bad but could be improved for my style

[@benjaminlane9228]

The comment stream on here is a true testament to the paradox that is human opinion. Our own opinion on things such as music, religion, etc tends to be about as flexible as stone. However, we see no problem spending a great deal of time and effort trying to convince others' that their opinion is wrong. Persuasion (and human psychology in general) is an art form very, very few of us seem to comprehend. Two words - "Dale Carnegie".

[@WillShawofficial]

Gah I went to basically say the same thing but you articulated it about as well as it can be. Cheers. "I disagree with you and the truth is that we are both as wrong as we are right"

Altered State stood out to me in a way that no other album has ever stood out to me. I still see kaleidoscopic visions when I close my eyes to this album, pictures that are beyond the strength of words to explain. TesseracT will always be that one band that I will keep as a reference at the back of my mind while listening to any other band. Thank you TesseracT. Keep inspiring.

[@GillCrockett]

OMG that's Amazing

[@4LIVEMUSICVIBES]

Open your mind and your ears people. This new TesseracT has such an unique instrumental, incredible vocals, which sound catchy just like Nocturne but also introspective like Of Matter) good lyrics, variations in tempo and I honestly can't wait to hear the full New Album!

[@ModernTruth]

When it comes to music, I listen to pretty much anything. But of all the music that I've ever heard, nothing has made the same impact on me as Tesseract does. Concealing fate was amazing. One was unique. Perspective was beautiful. Altered State was mesmerizing, and I think that Polaris will be mind-blowing. Let's just all appreciate the amazing talents in this band, those who were and those who are. I loved every single vocalist, but for me, Dan will always be the best. Such an amazing singer, happy he's back.
