[Dalcan]

Saw this when I came into work this morning. Love them.

 

[Dayviewer]

Amazing video! love the lighting on the band

 

[WildBroskiAppears]

It's never affected my enjoyment of the music, but I'm glad Ashe looks less like a teenager now

 

[Workhorse]

Yea i always thought he looked a bit uhmm, delicate. But I think he's one of the very talented singers in metal.

 

[silent suicide]

Allright I previous commented here that I would prefer a instrumental cd, but after another listen to the cd, the vocals grew on me and now I am hooked to the new album.

Saw them last night, holy hell that was awesome. Dat Mayones...

I was also glad that they played a few tracks off of One. I guess the bassist is on screaming duty now

I think Amos has been doing the screaming in live performances for a while. He did when I saw them three years ago.

Saw Tesseract open for Intronaut, Cult of Luna and Katatonia tonight.

Awesome performance, made me a fan. The singer actually did a bit of the screams although the bass player held that down for most of it. Unfortunately the sound system at this venue wasn't great and they all ran direct which meant the bass was nowhere to be heard and the guitars were pretty thin and weak. Still enough to get me to buy a shirt and a cd tho. Turned me onto their music while turning me off of the axe-fx lol

This may be a little out of context but im currently learning to play nocturne and i've got everything down but the 16th note part arount 1:40, i'm unable to identify the change of notes. I know (by the guitar pro tab) that two extra 16th notes are played in the start of every bar, but i cant hit them on time. anyone got some other explanations or some tips on how to hear them or something?

What gauge are your strings? I'm eager to try out their songs but I wonder will my strings snap. I'm using a 010-064 set.

If you mean tension wise using their tuning, well they tune to AEADEAD on Altered State. So if you're using 10-46 + 64 your lower 4 strings are fine.

You'll probably want to up the gauge of the highest 3 strings though, since you're tuning the (In Standard Tuning) G down 2 whole steps, and the B & E down 1 whole step.

So using your current set of strings

.64 @ A1 15.3lbs
.46 @ E2 17.5lbs
.36 @ A2 19.5lbs
.26 @ D3 18.3lbs
.17 @ E3 11.7lbs --> .20 16.2lbs
.13 @ A3 12.2lbs --> .15 16.2lbs
.10 @ D4 12.9lbs --> .11 15.6lbs

That's what your current tension would be like if you tuned down your current set. Your strings won't snap, but they'll be insanely slack in comparison to the tighter wound strings, if you use the gauges (.20, .15, .11) accordingly instead for the higher strings, they'll feel much more even across the board. The drop in tension from the 4th and 5th strings is far too much, and it would probably bother me enough to go out and get heavier strings for this tuning

i'm playing it in drop A.

 

[Krullnar]

I could have gone for a lot less Cult of Luna and a lot more Tesseract. Good lord, Cult of Luna... they are traveling city to city on a quest to warp human perception of time.

Just noticed this, not sure if it has been posted further back:

Saw Tesseract last night with Karnivool at the Wedge and they were amazing as ever

Hells yeah, I was there too with my GF and the keyboard player from my band! Was right at the front in the middle the whole time. When Mos came down to the barrier at the start of Tesseract's set, his balls were basically in my face

 

[jonajon91]

I dont follow this band all too closely, but wern't they making a 51 minute animation to go along with the album? what going on with that?
