VOCAL PERFORMANCE OF THE F*CKING YEAR! Tesseract "Legion" Reaction

[@darkphoenix2]

I will not blame Dan at all if he struggles to pull that off live. This is such a feat of vocal power and precision.

[@wojecire]

Be seeing them in a few weeks so we'll see I guess lol

[@workout3D]

He already performed War of being live, not an easy song too. Did it pretty good, but yeah, he simplified some vocal lines a little bit

[@PhoenixDecim]

He sang the first part of the song in his twitch live stream yesterday and he sounded amazing. It was without any automations/fx or BVs, just raw vocals. But you're right it'll be hard to pull it off live.

[@underlachvilla8900]

He even can do the Ashe song with his own style, like his live performance on 'Portals' concert..

[@zerozeeros]

He will nail it. He is one of the best singers on the planet

[@BMXkidzevan1]

Dan is soooooooooo good, this song just stamped his name in prog history, will be one of the best performances out there

[@risenbybronco]

ive cried many times listening to this song... it literally goes beyond the music for me. good shit.

[@METALBIRB]

Chills every single time for me man

[@jvdduyn]

Man this one hit different.. so emotional, and the build up and production is so good. They're fucking out of this world.

[@lonederanger3581]

Same, dude. Every. Time.

[@shpini1]

Came here to see if I'm not alone in this! 3:30 just doesn't fail to hit.

[@TheCarnivorousLimbo]

I dont get whats emotional about it, Its just a metal song. Me no comprehendo

[@cyanihilist]

I really do hope some of the vocal coach channels catch this, because this is just an absolutely insane performance.

[@underface]

Dan's performance reminds me a lot when he was in SKYHARBOR, such a beast of a vocalist, this was really great to listen to, shoutout to him

[@PKDionysus]

Bro, this album is incredibly powerful. Sirens made me stop mid rep during my workout and just marvel.

[@MrCrazyjoe259]

It's really gorgeous. It makes me a little sad that some metal purists are putting it on the bottom of their ranking just because its different and slower. These kinds of people do not truly appreciate music, or how artists can evolve or mature over time. They do not want artists to mature: It's a very petulant attitude to have. When an artist can write something in another style and have it still be beautifully arranged, you know that artist is truly talented. To me this song was a highlight that made me tear up and also a welcomed break in the middle of the heavier stuff.

[@PKDionysus]

@@MrCrazyjoe259 I love it when bands age, and in a way are forced to change/mature owing to changing bodies. Time is undefeated, and all we can do is adjust and experiment. What you said about artists showing their talent in making changes that still sound good hit the nail on the head. Sirens has such a strong vocal performance, it still gives me goosebumps.

[@VictorMontel]

I raise my arm and admit that I used to prefer Tesseract with Ashe, but now I realise that I was totally wrong. And i know that tier listing like this isn't like the best thing, but Dan is just on a level of his own, man.

[@FisherKot]

I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to it so far. Dozens. Many dozens. Can’t stop listening to it

[@soupcool1858]

Same here...absolutely charming song. I feel that the more I listen it the more I fall in love with it

[@fornikator]

This is definitely in the top 3 vocal performance for me this year. Don't forget Spencer on periphery album earlier this year. The ending in wax wings is so epic. Both have grown so much in their talent.

[@flataffect]

When I heard this, I thought to myself this was the best 10/10 section in music that I had heard since wax wings. Both of these are just incredible songs, though I prefer wax wings over all, Dan’s last few minutes here are ridiculous!

[@leostern8323]

I had never heard of Periphery until I read this comment, now I’m listening to them daily 😂

[@jbasti227]

Dan’s progression as a vocalist is unbelievable. We already knew his cleans and screams were incredible but man those pitched screams during the song’s climax just took him to a whole other level

[@jimmygott]

AOTY for me this album was so much better than I had expected when they dropped Legion as a single the day before the release I knew. Hits so many raw emotions Dan took his vocal performances up another level in this album.

[@lrblake394]

SO stoked Dan's screams are part of Tesseract again. Banger.

[@andreimarasigan]

This song is the BEST one off the album for me, especially because of Dan's vocals. The transition to falsettos is unmatched in the scene! 🔥

[@FLmetalhead]

The album sounds GREAT. The drums sound so amazing, and that snare! Bass tone makes the guitar tone.

[@c0fran]

The vocals reminds me a lot of Jeff Buckley, those high notes. Perfection 👌

[@Hoojo]

Yes!!! I totally had similar thoughts.

[@Sulsalogan]

Same, got some Buckley vibes and especially some Matt Bellamy vibes with the high falsetto in there!

[@necrozim]

I saw an interview with Dan covering this, and he lists Jeff Buckley as one of his inspirations, granted he humbles himself saying he is still nowhere close to Jeff's talent.

[@adamkennard8489]

The album is ridiculously good, and Dan's vocals throughout are god-tier - those highs give me serious goosebumps. Definitely an AOTY contender.

[@HipHopAn0n]

Does anything else this year even come close? I'm legitimately asking lol so I can listen to those other albums

[@thelightyears_]

​@@HipHopAn0nBit late but you may enjoy Earthside - Let The Truth Speak. Super diverse prog album and it actually features Dan on the title track.

[@HipHopAn0n]

@user-zi4yn5ne8c thank you for the recommendation

[@MJ-vd8bj]

THROWN INTO THE GREEEEY

[@soupcool1858]

💥In the ruins I remain!!!

[@Trooperx86]

This song needs to blow up. This is wild.

[@absp2006]

He filmed this in a living room while he had a fever from a trip. That hole on the top left is the only natural light in the shot.

[@dmmhtm]

I mean, Dan has been doing this since Skyharbor's album Guiding Lights. Just so freaking glad to hear more of this out of him. One of my all-time favourite vocalists 🙌

[@fmkwvejf]

Guiding Lights is one of my favourite albums ever, just beautiful from start to finish. That album doesn't have the insane blend of cleans and screams that's on showcase here though.

[@wholewheat1]

this one makes me cry every single time. There's a couple moments on this album that just touch me emotionally, such freaking passion out of Dan on this one

[@HipHopAn0n]

Sirens

[@felinepeople]

Without Dan TesseracT is just Cube

[@gaber7yo]

👑

[@Sillyygxrl]

Dan is probably one of my favorite vocalists ever ❤

[@Owenator26]

This is probably my new song of the year! Everything from the contagious groove from the intro to the middle of the song then the heavy chugs come in and everything from 3:27 on just absolutely speechless! \m/

[@mikebate6719]

Dude went full Matt Bellamy, insane!

[@dougcronkhite2113]

Dan brought the intensity on this one.. He's SO good on the whole disc..

[@adecakaship2486]

At some point as I was like, he'll for sure transform into that blue alien singer chick from The 5th Element

[@augustzelenak9565]

What a powerhouse! You have achieved perfection! Best vocal I’ve heard in years!

[@BMXkidzevan1]

LETS GO!!!!

[@tombyrne8657]

He reminds me a lot of the vocalist from short-lived 90s British Indie band Mansun.

[@jamescombridgeart]

This stuff gets my so hyped every time. What am intense and riveting vocal performance

[@williamgrand9724]

wow... I had to stop headbanging to take that in

[@NickG8420]

Love this album I have listened to it for months

[@richardnieto9874]

incredible vocalist Daniel is amazing!!!!!

[@bryce_garland]

Did you catch the Mirror Image reference at the end tho? 😁

[@ls.vinicius]

Jeff Buckley applauds this performance. Best performance ever.

[@ThePackageLives]

That was a guitar solo of Vocals right there

[@NathansWargames]

Dan has been live practicing this song and others on his twitch channel

[@TheErazar]

This vocal performance reminds me of Leprous. Check them out people!

[@Sandemose]

This is so much Dream brother Jeff Buckley vibe to it.

[@HipHopAn0n]

Dan is the Greatest Vocalist alive Tesseract is the Greatest Band Alive

[@1984Musicforever]

This song cuts me deep.

[@LoyaltotheNightsky]

I know core stuff is your main thing, and that's totally cool. But I think it would really help to spice up your channel with more death metal, black metal, etc from time to time. A lot more adventurous stuff going on with that these days. Would probably bring in more outside viewers as well? But I'm not a KZbin algorithm expert, so who knows. I recommend Horrendous, or Alkaloid. Top tier stuff. Or if you genuinely just aren't as interested in those styles, I get that.

[@METALBIRB]

Maybe when Necrophagist drops a new album haha

[@LoyaltotheNightsky]

@@METALBIRB Real 👍🏻 Haha

[@hailstone_]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@daviddidder3781]

Heavy metal George Michael 🤯🤯!!

[@MikeLyons2011]

Muse level vocals on top of Prog. Stellar.

[@fdcendm]

i know you wanted to cry !

[@SuperDeathMouse]

I hope Tesseract are getting some kickbacks from your Patreon/YT earnings, this is nowhere near transformative enough to be fair use. No analysis, no pauses for discussion and the music audio is way higher than your mic audio. The gall to direct people to your paid Patreon is astounding.

[@epicdude61388]

Nice bait.

[@scottburnside3218]

so in tesseracts periphery is periphery......

[@gojira2055]

This was amazing but im sorry but the Vocal performance may of been out of this world but everything surrounding it was really just kind of mid his voice was carrying that whole song on its back i dont think i have ver seen that nefore

[@8JFJK8]

Really talented band but i just cant get into them. I like songs that get straight to the point and their songs are just too drawn out and slowburning.

[@WSlopeAggie]

That's fair, sucks that prog ain't your thing though. Such a sick genre

[@8JFJK8]

@@WSlopeAggie The weird thing is i like a ton of prog rock and prog metal bands, Tool, Coheed, Karnivool, Opeth, Periphery.. just to name a few. Maybe i just need to check out more Tesseract albums. I listened to a couple and only walked away with a couple songs for the playlist.

[@machmslf]

This album sounds awful in all my cars.....

[@machmslf]

Let me clarify, production, its muddy

[@Djent_Djenerator]

@@machmslfreally?? It sounds crisp as hell for me in mine. 🤔 maybe eq it?

[@machmslf]

@@Djent_Djenerator my truck has a completely after market setup and nope, bunch of guys on sputnik have said the same thing, people need to take a lesson from thank you scientist

[@jaychow94]

@@machmslf Please tell me you're joking? The production is not muddy.

[@machmslf]

@@jaychow94 it fucking is goddamit take the headphones off and listen elsewhere

[@RandomApexLootbox]

I don't get it. I wish they'd release instrumentals of their songs or change the vocalist. The songs always start incredibly strong and then get ruined by those forgettable vocals. The dude knows the techniques, sure, but he sounds so boring while doing it.

[@christophersanguino8135]

I hope the song grows on you :( he does give off a little too nonchalant but I feel like that is his technique to be as relaxed as possible to produce his best possible voice yunno

[@Irmelinis]

They do have instrumental versions of several of their previous albums. Go check that out. Plenty of people love their vocals, probably just not your taste.

[@Lusc1nt]
