The Tesseract Megathread: Sonder Released

[Ocara-Jacob]

Daaahhhh me gusta. I'm even more pumped now.

EDIT:

reminded me of a more djenty, slightly downtempo Dead Letter Circus. Should be sweet.

guitar tone still blows though

U srs? I actually love their guitar tone, as well as their bass tone. What don't you like about it?

It's being released on my birthday here in the US

I know what I'm buying myself...

 

[Timelesseer]

Beyond stoked for this album. Nocturne blew me away when they released it and the teaser sounds awesome. I hope they still have the heavier parts though, even without the screams.

 

[Watty]

Just heard the teaser....oh my that first bit is tasty with the way the drums enter. They need to make sure to hold onto their rhythm section as Jay and Amos seem to play off each other so well.

 

[TIMEwaveXERO]

fuck! so atmospheric! i love it. and yeah... it totally has a karnivool vibe to it and hey... since karnivool is the best band to face this planet, i'm more than fine with it

Who should also be releasing a new album later this year hopefully! Pretty sure they recording now.

Love the teaser.!!

Yeah, they're just finishing up in the studio now. Sound Awake is one of my Top 10 albums of all time. Cannot WAIT for their new album.

 

[kastenfrog]

fuck yeah!

Haven't listened to the first teaser since the day it came out and will resist listening to others, I want this album to fresh when it arrives on my doormat

I absolutely ruined Periphery II for myself by listening to way to much teasers before release, and I won't let that happen again.

 

[leonardo7]

Vocals remind me of Taproot. But higher pitched. Cant wait.

 

[jehu12141987]

Can't get here soon enuff.

 

[MarkPopkie]

absolutely fucking incredible... brilliant arrangement... superbly creative vocals... i would gnaw off my arm to have this album in my possession right now.

 

[mcleanab]

Someone in the youtube comments said it reminded them of TOOL. Very cool comparison...

I can't wait for this! The first clip was amazing too!

The new teaser sounded better than the first one but it is so digital, flat and sterile. Not that you have to use real tubes on a recording.. it certainly helps. I thought both their guitar tone & bass sounded infinitely worse on the debut than on the old Concealing Fate demos and iirc those old demos were pod tones as well but still more lively and thick than the new stuff. On the flip side, the sound translates almost perfectly to their live show, where it sounds much better.

I've never understood this; but to each his own. You should not resist, the drum transition into the song in the first teaser is THE BEST I've ever heard. So smooth and fits the rest of the song perfectly.

What do you mean teasers? A lot of the material was released years ago on Bulb's SC. And how can you ruin something by getting a taste of it? If it's good, it's good, regardless of when you happen to indulge.









Analogy:

"Foreplay? Naw, I don't want to ruin sex." Said no person ever.

 

[Dayviewer]

Well it's just the whole thing of ''keeping it fresh'', like if I would keep listening to those teasers now and those parts come up in the album I just feel like skipping those because I have heard them so many times before and it kinda loses the surprise factor, something like that
I can definatly see where you're coming from though, maybe it's just me haha.

 

[bhakan]

I do the opposite. When I hear a riff I liked from a teaser, I always think its extra cool, because you already knew the section, but you didn't know how it fit into the song.

Exactly.

 

[brutalwizard]

I Love The second teaser TOO sick.

 

[spawnofthesith]

Fuck I gotta check this teaser out soon. I was listening to Tesseract all day. Which included giving the EP another chance. And I fucking loved it this time around, which surprised me since I really disliked it before



Also, this happened a few months ago now, but for the longest time I just could not get down with Tompkins cleans, but I had a sudden revelation and now I can't get enough of his voice. Also allowed me to embrace how awesome Skyharbor is. New The Room Colored Charlatan track with him on guest vocals is sick too

 

[Ocara-Jacob]

Less than two months until the release! I'm pumped, and the snippets that have been given to us are absolutely fantastic.
