Is there something I should know
Of the colours that you show?
I remember those words
In the back of my mind
There is an old phantom
It isn’t a secret this mind’s shrouded in history 
It isn’t a secret this mind spirals in disarray 
It isn’t a secret this mind shudders in mystery 
It isn’t a secret I find terror in memory
Come close. Don’t be afraid. 
It’s stranger than you think
Desperately opiate, weary
Feverish host to us, teary eyed
History hexes us
History hexes us
Don’t look. Don’t think 
Don’t feel. Don’t move. Don’t breathe
Don’t make a sound. It lives. It breathes
In my conscious mind
(Rosebud don’t change)
It isn’t a secret this mind’s shrouded in history 
It isn’t a secret this mind spirals in disarray 
It isn’t a secret this mind shudders in mystery 
It isn’t a secret I find terror in memory
I live and breathe again
These gory locks, don’t you dare forget them 
Don’t you dare.
Don’t you dare.
History hexes us
I breathe again
History hexes us
I live again

Hexes Ft. Martin Grech

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

You exist and you’re a friend of mine
Will we ever live in harmony?
You’re alive; it’s not the end of the line 
Will we ever learn? 
Cynical; the generations were abandoned here
No life is ever fair
When the mechanical fires are raging
The revolution’s here
I can breathe again. I choose to never let go or lose control 
See through the sights of a rifle
Live through the eyes of a child
Walk through the mind of a minor to extol
I must change because I’ve been chasing shadows 
Change. Immersed in the night, desperate and taken 
Change. Run with the pride of a lion
You exist and you’re a friend of mine
Will we ever live in harmony?
You’re alive; it’s not the end of the line 
I’m a failure; I’m the wreckage in the storm
I’m enlightened; unafraid I am reborn
Cynical; the generations were abandoned here
No life is ever fair
When the mechanical fires are raging
The revolution’s here

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)
