Dan leaves Tesseract?

[AgentX]

Apologies if this has already been discuses. From what I have read on Tesseracts Facebook page it appears Dan (vocals) has left! if it turns out to be true that will suck, the guitar work is great and everything but I can't help thinking that Dans vocals pretty much made that band. Apparently Eliot Coleman will be taking his place and from listening to his demos he is majorly inspired by Muse. . .

Just thinking out loud, the new series of X-Factor has just started in the UK, could this be a coincidence?

Saw this on Facebook yesterday. Some of the comments on the bands wall are fucking hilarious! Shit like "omgz, Dan's left, my soul is broken, my life is basically over" so many people overreacting!

Dan was good, though sometimes I felt his voice was a bit thin sounding. It had a cool haunting kinda sound that worked well for the band, but I wonder if it would have just become a bit boring after a few albums as his voice didn't seem to have much power to it.

And while it seems Elliot was a bit off in some notes in the video clip that's been posted everyones gotta remember he's trying to sing stuff that was originally written for someone with a different range, and it looks like he hasn't had a long time to learn the stuff. I think once he's a bit more practiced he might end up bringing a more aggressive side of the band out as his screams sound more powerful than Dan's. As does his voice in general to be honest (at least as far as I can tell from the poor quality footage that's appeared)

So yeah, interesting times. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of it.

He sounds a bit like Matt Bellamy in parts, a bit like The Mars Volta/ ATDI in others. Dunno, I think he could have massive potential, but it could go either way. Quite a unique vocal range.

Although I love Tesseract, at times I wish they were a bit more interesting music-wise and guitar-riff wise. It sucks to hear about him leaving, but it would be really cool if Periphery kicked Spencer out and picked up Dan instead. Or maybe Dan in Haunted Shores? That would be sick.

And here's the mentioned video clip:

I think Eliot might be a good fit with Tesseract and I'm not really "upset" by the news. I forgot that Eliot did a song with Haunted Shores called "My the man" that sounded pretty badass. I really dig his vocal style for sure. Whether or not it's a good fit with Tesseract will remain to be seen.

First Greg and Neema leaving/being kicked out of Monuments now this

Elliot has potential though, can't wait to hear what he can come up with in the studio! It's pretty sad and pathetic what's going on with Tesseract's wall

 

[Deadstar]

well it seems the same old story to me, see Periphery

 

[P-E]

Holy shit, this kind of saddens me. One of my best bands for sure, and without Dan it's gonna be different.

 

[RedDog]

We'll live.

This band is a fucking train wreck. I've never seen a good band that didn't have their shit together at this magnitude.

 

[JeffTD]

I'm bummed he's leaving but stoked for the band he's joining. Not a fan of Elliot's voice... guess this is another Periphery situation for me, only with way more wasted potential.

This band is a fucking train wreck. I've never seen a good band that didn't have their shit together at this magnitude.

What do you even mean by this statement?

 

[Cyanide_Anima]

Yeah, they have hit some pretty big bumps, but they aren't a train wreck. Elliot's voice is okay I guess. Not sure how he'll fit in with the band's sound. Dan's soaring vocals were perfect for them. While Elliot seems to be a bit more 'arty' or Muse-y or whatever-y. I'm not giving up on them though. At least they didn't go out and find a bunch of singers who sound exactly like Dan.

 

[Deus.exe]

I always thought that Abi (the previous singer) was way better than Dan and had way more "Soul".
