Tesseract (sometimes styled as TesseracT) are a British progressive metal band from Milton Keynes, England, and are often credited as being one of the pioneering bands of the Djent genre and have over time grown to be one of more well known progressive metal acts to emerge in The New '10s. They are also known for having repeated singer changes through the years.Formed with a complete line-up in 2007 after several years of demoing by guitarist Acle Kahney, the band went one to release their fist album One in 2011. However, vocalist Daniel Tompkins left the band later that year in august and was replaced by Elliot Coleman, whom the band went one to record the Perspective EP with. Elliot Coleman departed from the group mid 2012 and in October the band revealed a new song, "Nocturne" with Ashe O'Hara as their new singer. Their sophomore follow-up Altered State was released in 2013 and met with universal acclaim from both fans and critics, with some major reviewers calling it one of the best progressive metal albums of all time.After touring around the world for the next year, it was announced that Ashe O'Hara had amicably parted ways with the band and that Daniel from One had rejoined, along with news that the band had started work on their much anticipated third album. Polaris was released later in 2015, with the EP Errai being released around the same time the following year in 2016.Discography: One (2011) Perspective (2012) - EP Altered State (2013) Polaris (2015) Errai (2016) - EP Sonder (2018) Regrowth (2022) - EP War of Being (2023)

Darker and Edgier: The charity EP Regrowth is this compared to the rest of their more recent discography. This is because both songs on it are re-workings of old ideas that Acle had that pre-date even One.

Ambient: The influence from the genre can be heard throughout the band's work. Very noticeable on Polaris which has had their softest and most ambient material to date. Errai falls even more so under this genre, being an ambient reimagining of several songs from Polaris.

Concept Album

comment
Concept Album: Altered State is about the scientific and philosophical process of change, and is broken into four separate movements, each about a difference aspect of change. Polaris is also a loosely based concept about nature of universal truth and how there is no human concept that could be considered absolute truth.

comment
Lead Bassist: Amos is a type C and D. His is an important song writer, is the band's spokesman who appears the most in interviews, and is also a qualified sound engineer and plays a large part in the mixing and production of their albums. His bass playing is also very standout in metal/djent, a very funky style of percussive playing inspired by the likes of Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, and Flea. Also arguably a type B, since he does growled vocals during their live shows.

comment
Mood Whiplash: The sudden change from "Perfection" (a emotional melancholic song) to "Epiphany" (an extremely short but angry, aggressive song) and then back to "Origin" (a sad, moody song like "Perfection") definitely counts as this.

Loudness War: Averted for the most part as all three of their albums are a DR7 (the vinyl and surround-sound versions are even higher) and have very little clipping compared to most modern metal releases (except for One which has a few clipping issues).

comment
Lighter and Softer: Each album since their debut (and that compared to their earlier demos) has been softer than the one before it. Not that it has necessarily been a bad thing. Also this to Djent as a whole. The two EP's, Perspective and Errai, consist of acoustic and ambient remakes of select songs from One and Polaris respectively, and are much softer than the originals.
