First Time Hearing TesseracT! Vocal ANALYSIS of Dan Tompkins and "Legion" leaves me stunned.

Published 2024-03-19
I constantly want to see where the evolution of music, especially metal and rock these days, is heading and I think I found it in this analysis of "Legion". So much so, that I chose this video as my Birthday release. Dan Tompkins absolutely slays it in this track, and it's such a great first impression of what TesseracT is doing, I want to hear SO MUCH MORE!

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to TesseracT for the first time, performing "Legion”.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to check it out! ❤
  • @stevemuzak8526
    Invite Dan Tompkins to your channel. He’s one of the best modern metal vocalists out there PS: He's a vocal coach.
  • @MosTesseract
    Ah nice! Thanks for checking this out. This track was one of the surprises from the new album session. The whole band created something special. Dan and Kat's writing on this is magical, and matched with Dan's performance they created a career highlight.
  • I am SO HAPPY to see you listening to TesseracT!!! This is the tip of the iceberg of the most wonderful music!
  • @cirick1696
    This song is nuts vocally, and he crushes it live.
  • TesseracT is such a treat. I dont say this often about vocalists, but Daniel Tompkins is a whole other level of vocal mastery. The whole band is just incredible musicians and song writers.
  • One of the best songs Tesseract has ever written, off of the best album they've put out since Altered State, with a career-defining vocal performance as a cherry on top. Masterpiece.
  • @andydaringer
    YES!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for this day for years! And this song for your first time hearing them is going to blow you away! This is their first song that they wrote the lyrics and melody before any of the music, so it really highlights Dan's incredible range and ability more than any other song they do. I can't wait to see your reaction!
  • @attrition71
    Oh my God you're gonna go down a rabbit hole with Dan. He is no joke. Dude is just so damn talented
  • This is quite simply one of the best bands on the planet right now. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE delve into more.
  • @Giraphery
    I think you'd really enjoy their song Hexes. There's a great video of them performing it in the studio, with the guest vocalist and everything. Also a wonderfully haunting & beautiful song.
  • @sugoruyo
    TesseracT are all masters of their craft and their soundscapes are always so powerful... You could barely go wrong with anything by them.
  • @anonymoose7718
    TesseracT is one of the few bands where I always listen to them by the album rather than by the song. Safe to say I was obsessed upon hearing them for the first time in a random recommended playlist.
  • Dan (and all of the guys in TesseracT really) are all REALLY nice guys too. Great musicians and great people. Oh, and he pulls this off live.. It's insane!
  • @melomaniac334
    I am so pleased you checked out "Legion" by TesseracT with the AMAZING Dan Tompkins! He is a top-tier vocalist - one of my absolute favs! I've watched this man practice vocals for many hours and I am always in awe of him. I was in tears when TesseracT premiered this track. I love how he expanded upon his gorgeous vocal range here and blessed our ears with this masterpiece! There is a depth of emotion in his singing as well, it can really move you. Highly recommend giving the whole album, "War of Being," a complete listen because it is an incredible journey worthy of your time.
  • I still tear up every time I listen to it, there's nothing like this anywhere. The raw emotion, the build-up, the release, the lyrics, the story behind the video. I've never seen a band try something so profound and tell it in the best way imaginable. Music can be cinema, as it turns out.
  • @ChristianRose1
    Just, unbelievable. He was fantastic even on the earlier albums, now he's really mastered his craft and brought TesseracT to new heights. Masterful.
  • @nikitalila
    Ah, I'm excited about this one. I LOVE Daniel Tompkins' voice. As I was suggesting since a while. His take on Let The Truth Speak by Earthside is breathtaking. I hope you could react to this one as well. Daniel does incredible transitions from clean to harsh in that track and Gennady Tkachenko-Papizh adds fascinating vocalizations.
  • @digibirder
    This shows why Elizabeth is the best! She helps you appreciate your favourites on a whole new level as well as learning about new artists. More learning leads to more innovation.
