The Tesseract Megathread: New Singer Ashe O'Hara - Page 54

PeteyG · 08-21-2011, 01:52 AM

It's like Jeff Buckley is still living and joined a progressive metal band, and that makes me SO happy.

teqnick · 08-21-2011, 01:54 AM

I'll wait to pass judgement until a high quality clip is posted.

Dan was what really did draw me into TesseracT, though. His voice fit perfectly, and really helped enforce that atmosphere.

Wretched · 08-21-2011, 02:24 AM

Bugger! He has an awesome stage presence. Glad I got to see them live a couple of weeks ago.

Leper · 08-21-2011, 02:38 AM

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

DVRP · 08-21-2011, 02:58 AM

This makes me sad....but now he can join my band

I wish haha.

drmosh · 08-21-2011, 03:07 AM

I really ....ing hope not >

I must add that I ....ing love Elliott's voice, I just don't see it fitting with Tesseract all that well. But I'd love to be proven wrong!

ElliotOMNOM · 08-21-2011, 03:41 AM

damn you 7string! why you no like, me think you always want elliot behind mic, now elliot confused! ELLLIOTT CONFUZED!!@!@@232!@##@!

DLG · 08-21-2011, 04:33 AM

Eliot, please post pics of you in very tight jeans so that we can contrast and compare

Mwoit · 08-21-2011, 04:42 AM

Didn't expect this for sure.

I'll suppose I'll judge when you come up to Scotland in September.

Nazca · 08-21-2011, 04:52 AM

Completely unexpected for me. I thought there was great synergy between Dan and TesseracT's music. It's a shame, but I think Elliot has a great voice. Will be interesting to see how it fits.

Dan · 08-21-2011, 05:02 AM

Going to be honest he never did anything for me, saw him live and i just found it boring. I saw Tesseract play with Abi a few years back and THAT blew me away.

I think the legions if butthurt kids on the internet is entertaining me more tbh

Tali · 08-21-2011, 05:02 AM

Hey guys, long time lurker here and finally joined

I was at the gig last night and there was talk the entire eve of Dan not singing,that he was ill and possibly an instrumental only gig and that he wasnt there at all but someone would be filling in etc etc.

When the band opened with Hollow already people were like "WTF is Dan!?" then boom *insert tall fellow in yellow shirt who isn't Dan*. I for one was pretty damn confused but Elliot seemed to come into his own. It was the mans first show with the band so nerves are to be expected.

Lots of talk after the show and for the most part people either loved it or hated it. Quite strange seeing an American front up a UK metal band.

Elliot its not we don't love you it's just... Tesseract with Dan for most part seemed like a perfect recipe already.

How long has this been in making, months i presume?
All the best non the less

JaeSwift · 08-21-2011, 05:19 AM

Listening to the live clip, I can't really judge the screams but the clean parts have Elliot's own vocal hooks that I love more than almost any singer currently and I think he's the perfect fit for TesseracT without Dan.

Wingchunwarrior · 08-21-2011, 05:37 AM

Honestly Ellliot's voice sounds shit to me,its that typical generic djent band scream,pre-pubescent singing.

Really sad to see Dan go,I find it hard to listen to a lot of Djent because of the singing but Dan really a great cool voice that fitted perfectly with TesseracT.With a new vocalist I can see TesseracT being washed away with the sea of generic djent bands who mostly all sound the same.Dan Imo,really made Tesseract stand out.

Tali · 08-21-2011, 05:44 AM

I just want to know if this is permanent while Dan works on Piano?
Sure a press statement will drop on monday from the band or CM

Being a member of a band abroad is a nightmare considering Visa's etc.

Are you serious? Elliott has one of the most unique voices and styles out there and he was doing some awesome clean singing stuff a long time ago and really surprised people when he first released a song with screams on it.

Maybe its just the fact that I really detest that type of vocals,I really can't stand it.He probably is different but I couldn't care less,Can't listen to him and probably sadly mean not being able to listen to future TesseracT material

DLG · 08-21-2011, 06:03 AM

He has a unique voice for sure, but I can definitely see where people are coming from when they say that he is whiny and emo. He does have that typical American, screamo type of delivery. I'm not saying it's good or bad, I'm just not sure how it will fit in Tesseract.

Dan had a very regal vocal style, like I said earlier, a lot more reminiscent of typical prog metal than screamo/emo/djenty singing. I could see Dan singing over stuff like Fates Warning without sounding out of place, whereas Eliot singing over that kind of stuff would probably sound fairly awful.

haha yeah dude, you're right, my voice is completely the definition of djent vocals. Take this djent jem for example. it's so djenty it djent djent djents

Tali · 08-21-2011, 06:10 AM

Question is... will they re record the album again and call it One and A Half?

So much Djent....

DLG · 08-21-2011, 06:38 AM

So how is his voice typical djenty scream then? That's a ....ing load of horseshit.
Be it as it may that you don't like it, but what you said is just plain wrong

ZeroS1gnol · 08-21-2011, 06:41 AM

Well, it's certainly a PR screw up to start performing with a new singer before any statement regarding the departure of the former singer.

Tali · 08-21-2011, 07:04 AM

UPDATE 2: Dan Tompkins has supposedly left TesseracT because he has been offered to join a pop band. An official statement from the band should be out sometime in the coming week.

Dan in Jedward?
