Video by 12 Inch Media

Featuring four tracks taken from the band's 2015 studio album, Polaris, and re-imagined by the band’s long time live producer and sound engineer Aidan O’Brien.

Dan Tompkins - “It's been fantastic to re-visit & re-work the vocals to some of the Polaris tracks from a different angle and with the benefit of time and space. The normal process of writing TesseracT songs starts with the creation of the music followed by the lyrical content; this time Acle and Aidan have stripped away the music and re-created the songs based around the vocals. As a result this has allowed much more breathing space between both and also highlighted much more detail in the performance."

TESSERACT NEWS

TesseracT - Survival (from Errai)

Talking in my sleep, cursing through my teeth, sweating in the heat 
Stuck inside this dream of darkening frustration
Liars in my dream, I’m frightened and I’m weak, there’s nothing left for me
And the visions I endure are simply entertainment
Dark figures chasing me, I hear the wolf that cries, see them multiply
You’re ablaze behind the eyes; they burn into a memory
A sudden sense of hope, the virtue of my ghost, you’re another ugly host
And I can’t believe that you would just deny everything
I choose to live free
It took a second warning then I said goodbye
With tainted eyes I need to believe 
It took a little longer to sympathise
And you were hoping I would give in to you
I won't dance because you want me to
No romance; deep down I only want to be the same
Now there’s nowhere left to hide 
Game of chance; I roll the dice for you
Hopeless glance; deep down I only want to be the same
Now there’s nowhere left to hide 
The greatest thing you’ll ever learn 
Is just to love and be loved in return
I’m living such a life; therein lies your problem 
Imperfect, circular, entropy the fatal conclusion 
With a little sympathy it’ll burn inside, let the fires decide
Imperfect and circular
I won’t comfort you; no it won’t be the same
There’s nowhere left to hide 
And I won’t comfort you; no it won’t be the same
There’s nowhere left to hide 
And I won’t comfort you; no it won’t be the same
There’s nowhere left to hide 
And I won’t comfort you; no it won’t be the same
There’s nowhere left to hide

Polaris

Dystopia

Will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow?
Will I disappear?
Will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow?
Will I disappear until I can’t feel the light?
Will I disappear with a memory of your sorrow?
Will I disappear until I can’t feel the light?
Ten years of hope have past
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 for 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 a vision of tomorrow
Until I can’t feel the light?
Disturbed; when I get the feeling I've been here before 
I’m the abandoner
Ten years of sorrow passed
No pleasure in the sun 
You couldn’t cope in all honesty
The secrets of the past will come undone
Seasons of change elapse
Honour no mistrust 
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 a vision of tomorrow
Or will I fall?
Disturbed, when I get the feeling I've been here before
Disturbed, will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow
Or will I fall?
Disturbed, when I get the feeling I've been here before
I’m the abandoner

Survival

No little secrets left to compare
No feelings left for me to dare
No worries left for me to despair, only emptiness
Enticed by the familiar candlelight I see swaying up ahead 
You ask, “Was it all for nothing, do you trust in me…are you special?” 
You're the menace of the night, inquisitive to my request 
And I ask, “Do you have discretion, assiduity, freedom?” 
I knew that it was wrong to believe I was letting go
I can’t deal with the vice below
And I knew that it was wrong; I denied you all along 
You dissipate while I became an isolated fool 
I am the prisoner     
You disappear while I’m left here stuck in isolation
This is abandoned love
You dissipate. I’m full of hate without a hope and vision 
To disappear into a cage of solitude: this is abandoned love 
You dissipate without a hope and vision
You are the prisoner 
You disappear into isolation 
Build your cages.
Cage of solitude. 
Build you cages.
Cage of solitude.

Cages (ERRAI)

I’ll wait for you; run wild and aspire 
Thrive, burn young fire
When you say “fight back” our love won’t tire 
Unweathered and untethered light
I promise you and I will see it through
You lay dreaming
No time to sleep as I begin to weep
Life is fleeting
I tighten fast inside your tourniquet
Stop the bleeding
Your tenderness, your softened skin
All I needed
Your love is my tourniquet
Learn to rise, contain the pressure
This was supposed to be no miracle
Bow down because I’m under pressure once again 
I promise you, I promise you
Take my strength
I honour you with everything
Take my strength
I promise you and I will see it through
You lay dreaming?
The endless light you shine on me
All I needed

Tourniquet

Tourniquet (ERRAI)

Here I can breathe again 
I left it all behind to watch the days go by
Now I can breathe again 
I choose to never let go
So take your time, concentrate
Know the clock is ticking - don’t be late
Stand your ground, do your worst
Fragile frame, minor world
Take your time, prove your worth 
Don’t look behind, you’ll make it worse 
Why won’t you forgive me?
I was so alone, soaking to the bone
How could you forgive me?
Was I pitiful, unforgivable?
Unholiest, irreverent, immoral son. 
Ungodly one

BIOGRAPHY:

Daniel Tompkins is an award winning and innovative British singer / songwriter from Nottinghamshire in The East Midlands. More widely recognised as the singer for TesseracT with his unique live performances and unmistakable dramatic soundscapes on the highly acclaimed albums ‘One’ and 'Polaris'. Since 2009 Daniel has established himself as a highly respected vocalist with a dedicated worldwide fan base. Arguably one of the busiest collaborative vocalists, Daniel’s voice has been celebrated as one of the best in modern progressive rock and metal.
 
Daniel has released a diverse catalogue of records to date and in doing so demonstrated a natural ability to marry his distinct voice to various genres and yet remain in mesmerising control of his audience. However, much more than a recording artist, he is an accomplished performer who has earned a host of awards and honours having toured the world, sharing the stage with artists such as Iron Maiden, Gojira, Lamb of God, Devin Townsend, Meshuggah, Senses Fail, Animals As Leaders, No Use For A Name, Periphery and Protest The Hero
 
Looking to the future Daniel now balances his time between TesseracT and White Moth Black Butterfly and his various collaborations continuing to create a strong impression within the music industry. 
 
PEER AND PRESS QUOTES:

“Dan has a hell of a voice!!!” – DEVIN TOWNSEND 
 
“Check out the awesome vocals of Dan Tompkins, the man can sing YEAH!!’ – JON GOMM
 
“The dramatic soundscapes Dan Tompkins creates really are on another level, standing above the current crop of vocalists out there. Tesseract are destined for great things with a frontman leading the charge like this…one of the best vocals in modern metal” – SCUZZ TV (UK)
 
“An exceptional album from (White Moth Black Butterfly) Dan Tompkins. An absolutely essential work. Experimental, accessible and quite brilliant. This ranks high amongst this year’s progressive releases.” – Classic Rock Presents Prog Magazine
 
“There are so many musicians out there who jump from genre to genre and experiment with different kinds of sound but not all of them are able to pull it off. Out there, a bunch of them have the ability to make things so awkward, you’d just want to question what they were thinking. But then again, there are the special ones, the ones who shine in the dark and shine even brighter against the sun. The One’s who fully understand and are able to control their capabilities and of course the ones who actually know how to take things to the next level. They have this gift in whatever they do, it just works. One man who’s got this gift is UK-based vocalist, Daniel Tompkins – PULP MAGAZINE (MANILA)
