TesseracT - The Grey (Official ‘War Of Being’ Game Visualiser)

[@chickenwingsarenumnum]

Tesseract’s new approach to this album is still blowing my mind

[@zacharyjones4232]

This track gives me Polaris vibes big time. My mind isn’t blown yet with the 2 singles but I’m really excited for the album nonetheless. War of Being better than this I think (but it drags on)

[@solacedagony1234]

@@robertgowdey I think their early stuff (One) sounds different than Polaris -> on but it's certainly all the same genre.

New Vildhjarta, TesseracT, Periphery... It's 2010/2011 prog metal golden age all over again! I've discovered TesseracT with One in 2011, changed my life completely. This band will always be in the deepest part of my heart. Can't wait to hear the album in its entirety!! ❤

New Periphery?

[@acecrusher0288]

[@waleedawan5454]

New BoO also coming today

[@hkleider]

You need more than that to revive a musical era/scene unfortunately. Every movement has those 4-5 great pioneering artists who defined the genre and inspired everybody else in it (e.g. the guys you mentioned for djent), and those bands usually continue to release stuff and go strong even after their movement is over. For example look at Korn and Slipknot still getting millions of views long after nu metal died as a movement. What djent needs is either new bands, or older smaller bands like Valis Ablaze, Unprocessed, Entities, Auras etc. to release new stuff, and I don't see that happening. Still, happy that new Tesseract stuff is coming.

Lyrics: All you need is instant gratification You desire nothing more Kill the weak then crawl back into the darkness Settle down and start your war I've been living life in monochrome I'm the grey upon the sea So entangled up in the brevity And the constant tragedy I see myself in the grave defiled It's constantly draining The anxiety is all mine It's like I'm bleeding through for you This is clarification that we're spinning out of control You don't care if I ever make it out alone I've been living life in monochrome I'm the grey upon the sea So entangled up in the brevity And the constant tragedy I've been drowning in the undertow In the face of every fear, in the eye of the storm Longing for a touch of serenity 'Cause it's overwhelming me I'd say my piece but it takes a while I'm missing the right words My feelings are on fire It's like I'm bleeding through for you This is clarification that we're spinning out of control You don't care if I ever make it out alone I've been living life in monochrome I'm the grey upon the sea So entangled up in the brevity And the constant tragedy All you need is instant gratification You desire nothing more Kill the weak then crawl back into the darkness Settle down and start your war

[@voxextremos22]

The pitched screams in the pre chorus making me feel nostalgic for “One”. The rest of the song is very much Polaris and Sondrer. Dan is just such a brilliant singer

Wait a second, was the white robed figure at the end of this video also the same robed (and masked) figure from the "War of Being" video, swirling their blood magic atop mountainous ruins? You may also notice all of the katana and fallen "samurai", also a repeated theme. Are these connected somehow? What is this Strangeland, where this is all taking place (and no, not the one with Dee Snider, lmao)? Whose head is this in? Tesseract, over here gem slinging, song by song. These are precious and beautiful constructions of varying arts and creativity. Loving the conceptual stuff too. :: chefs kiss :: lol
