TESSERACT HAVE A NEW SONG, BUT STILL NO ALBUM
Thursday, October 8th, 2009 at 4:00pm by Vince NeilsteinWe’ve barely covered UK prog-techsters Tesseract on MetalSucks — save for a hilarious “music video” shot by some Subway Sandwich employees rocking out to the band whilst cleaning up at night — which kinda blows my mind, because this band is freakin’ awesome and I’ve been e-following them for years now. They’re pretty much the best Sumeriancore band in existence that hasn’t yet been signed to Sumerian Records, though they definitely pre-date this now wide-spread* sub-genre name.
Tesseract haven’t even released a proper studio album yet but I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that follows this band on the Internet closely; people email us about them all the time. Apparently they’re doing some dates in their UK homeland next month, and though they’ve got a new song out there’s still no word on an album. Their new song “Lament” hit the UK radio earlier this week and summarily ended up on YouTube. Have a listen below, and if you’re lucky enough to live in the UK go see them live (dates on their MySpace page) and let us know how they are.

*and by wide-spread I mean “only on MetalSucks.”
This band are great, all the right parts of Floyd, Cynic and Meshuggah meshed together – now let’s have an album please
Thank you for the tip. :D
I HAVE NO SELF-OPINION, WHAT DO YOU GUIZ THINK
I just was digging around and apparently their singer Abi left the band, and this new song sounds eerily like Sikth.. Could it be that Justin Hill has joined Tesseract? Let the rumour mill begin…
It does sound like SikTh. O_o
seriously, “sumerian-core” hasn’t made it’s own life yet? crab-core is already making it big! try to wikipedia it, I think you’ll be pleasently surprised.
It really does sound like Justin Hill. Why are they being so mysterious about who the new singer is? Maybe he hasn’t fully committed and they’re waiting for him to be in 100%?
Huh… this sounds pretty cool. Never heard of ‘em before. Thanks MetalSucks, I’m a grown-up now!
sounds a lot better than the last singer
man, i LOVED their last singer, but this guy does sound alot better… If it is Justin, I would be so freakin’ happy….
Dammit, it’s cruel to let us check this out and then NOT let us buy the goddamn album. I have MONEY, Tesseract. I want to GIVE IT to you. Then YOU give me some MUSIC. It’s a great transaction, done it hundreds of times with other bands. Capiche?
holy shit, a new Tesseract song!! I’ve been waiting FOREVER for this, guys!!! like Robert said, WE HAVE MONEY! WE WILL PAY YOU!!!!! I can’t tell you guys how many times I’ve listened to April and Concealing Fate pt 1…. These guys are that good.
Madeleine L’Engle is meatl.
Is that Justin, ex-SiKth!?!? SOMEONE FIND OUT
They were awesome at Hammerfest. I live in the UK and they were awesome. I recommend anyone seeing them!
