Dan is easily the most consistent vocalist in the progressive scene, which is really a testament to his talent given how inherently demanding the scene is
I'd add Spencer Sotelo to that list. He started off as a really unsure live vocalist but he has gotten better and better with each passing year, it's incredible to see
Daniel Gildenlow is something else, even with his age and health issues he sounds like a recording every time he performs. Check out Iter Impius from the BE dvd for some of his live vocals.
That's because it was most likely did some post processing / volume automation in post. Not to take anything away from his performance thought. Amazing vocalist without a doubt
@@Shane-zo4mg Hi Shane, the performance is totally natural with some minimal processing including de-essing, EQ, compression, some reverb and delay that is automated along with the volume but nothing in the area of pitch correction. The whole idea is to deliver a strong and realistic single track performance. There are also a few harmonies dotted around but nothing that gets in the way of the lead. Cheers - Dan
@@TesseractOfficial Hey Dan, just wondering what happened to your "real" voice during the show you had in Mumbai in Jan 2019? All the high notes and falsettos were "missed".. Quite frankly, was very disappointed that night..
How the hell does someone get this good? The cleans are absolutely crystal clear and beautiful, and the screams are absolutely intense. Just another reminder that he's one of the best in the genre.
By not asking these questions and instead finding a way to express himself as an artist. It requires intense dedication to a craft, nothing more. All people are capable of great things that they will themselves to become.
Played this song out loud from my phone, and my 7 year old asked me how many singers the band had. I said one, and the confusion on his face was a picture. So I showed him the video, and I could see the cogs in his head going round like, "Wut?" He asked me how he (Dan) does it, and I said ,"He's just a beast." Thanks for blowing the mind of my 7 year old and making him more interested in your music.
Same here. For me it was their first album. That experience opened me up to a whole new view on music and art in general. Forever my favourite musical experience.
Damn Dan do you even realize what a gift you have? It's tremendous. I know you work hard to perfect your vocals, but a lot of that is pure natural ability. You were born to do this and I'm so glad you followed your calling. You know what a huge fan I am of you and TesseracT. You guys are perfection. I'll fly to the damn moon to see you live.
Jamison Reid I am so glad to hear. I went to see them 3 times open for Gojira and that's how I became a Gojira fan! They literally blew the roof off every venue. Loudest band I've ever seen. Holyyyy shit!
I can't believe I will see Tesseract in São Paulo next month. I'm waiting for that day since 2011. thank you guys for everything ☺ THEY'LL COME TO BRASIL !! 😍 *O covid estragou tudo... difícil viu
I feel you Camila, I'm still waiting for a dedicated full concert in Poland. I'm ready to pay almost any amounts :) seriously...my 6,5 year old daughter knows their songs by heart now (and she loves it).
I can feel you getting closer I can sense you start to smile I see colossal eyes Calm down, don't run again I'll soothe you, I'm mechanical Brave soldier, kill again (kill again) Before we all expire Think for yourself and be the renegade Don't give in to him and his ugly ways I can feel you getting closer I can sense you start to smile I see colossal eyes There's a shadow on the sun And no wonder why Drain all the sick away You've proven you are an animal Watching me, you are a mannequin Your form is menacing This is another one of his ways To control me I can feel you getting closer I can sense you start to smile I see colossal eyes There's a shadow on the sun And no Wonder why
Ashe was great and I’ll always love “Altered State” … but I’m ever so glad you came back, Daniel! You make everything you do appear effortless … singing those ethereal melodies or intense screaming. Your abilities are unmatched.
My Son has just signed up for vocal coaching, he is a primarily a guitarist and bass guitar, he can sing he isn't bad, he started though doing shouty vocals. He has potential but he said himself he wants to learn from Dan.
Hey Dan! I remember when you were doing these videos for Polaris you had Tourniquet in mind. Would you consider making a performance video for it this time around, please? It would be fantastic! Keep up the great work!
I love how each band is it's own context. Each band that you work in is uniquely Dan but it own unique headspace and context! That's a talent all in itself!
I LOVE this so much...4:49 give me shivers every 'damn' time. The Arrow is such a great resolution to Smile. @Tesseract - you guys are absolutely in my top bands ever. Thank you!!!

I'm a drummer , i Remember listening to you here in Milano at Legend club in 2016, i had waited long to listen to the contersionist and tesseract drum perfomances, i was there with an Italian progressive metal core band wich Also happen to have a really sick drummer , the band destrage. I was hiped up , but i remained astonished for your vocal perfomance , even in a Little place with no such a good acoustic like the Legend...cheers from Italy, you are really a force of nature.
@@irockmajorly lol yes exactly, it's fry no more no less It just uses pure chest voice instead of falsetto is what you might be talking about but yeah, just fry
My Son who is a guitarist who has his degree and masters in music technology and performance. And he can sing a bit but he signed up to do vocal coaching with Dan. And I'm not kidding but he hasn't been doing it very long and has sang Smile and King and I couldn't believe how better he was so we know he on the right path. He is doing health stuff he recommends to look after your voice the guy is just amazing !!!
Каждый раз слушаю с утра и наслаждаюсь жтим исполнением, оно дает мне силы, идти дальше.... И не унывать учитывая что происходит вокруг.... Благодарю вас ребята....
Hey Dan! Been following since the very beginning of TesseracT and i must say you, should always be the front man in the band! Ashe was like an alien in Altered State and slayed that shit but, to me, that was just a concept-sort-of-album and not the "real deal". This cover was superb. The technique makes me wanna cry. You should always have a spot in TesseracT.

Daniel Gildenlow is something else, even with his age and health issues he sounds like a recording every time he performs. Check out Iter Impius from the BE dvd for some of his live vocals.
Let's not forget about Einar Solberg as well
Sam Morris Agreed! He’s always in tune and has such a big range and such versatility. I wish he were more popular.
Screams are even better than the album takes.
Holy hell you absolute unit of a vocalist.
"You wasted so much damn time on it, you wasted half your damn life" gets me every time. Brilliant performance.
Somehow it always manages to come up at exactly the moment I'm doing something dumb.
Those words have been ringing in my ears for a fucking week
It's like he's not even trying lol Dan is super talented
That's because it was most likely did some post processing / volume automation in post. Not to take anything away from his performance thought. Amazing vocalist without a doubt
@@Shane-zo4mg True, but I've seen them live three times and he doesn't sound all that different live. He's just really good.

Uh its called PRACTICE and pure talen! :)
Not just this genre - remember, Zeta and White Moth Black Butterfly are also Dan's projects and not in this genre 😊

Thanks for blowing the mind of my 7 year old and making him more interested in your music.
I mean he doesn't sing all of the voices at once though, but still a mind blowing vocalist that's for sure😊
The only thing bad about The Arrow is that it is so damn short
Dan sure didn't waste his damn time on that one lol
@@justsomeguywholosthismusta8495 looool
Agreed, but there's always the possibility that making the song longer could end up taking away from it...better to leave us wanting more!
@@bootysmaka22 I recommend "Haken - Crystallised". Perfect example for a flawless 20 minute song.
@@user-xd9ks4ik9s I have listened to various Haken songs and always like them, so I'll have to check it out!
We all love his voice but let's mention his amazing mic technique here... Notice how he handles all the airy p, b, or f sounds for example.
This is perfect for one of those "vocal coach reacts" channels
That's what I've been thinking the whole time.
which is funny since Daniel T is a vocal coach himself!! :) He would school the schooled any day
Portal 3 soundtrack... Love this feel.
That control is unparalleled
This is the first TesseracT song I heard. The first time I heard Dan sing.
What I wouldn't give to relive that experience one more time.
Same here. For me it was their first album. That experience opened me up to a whole new view on music and art in general. Forever my favourite musical experience.
The Arrow is such an awesome outro track.
Damn Dan do you even realize what a gift you have? It's tremendous. I know you work hard to perfect your vocals, but a lot of that is pure natural ability. You were born to do this and I'm so glad you followed your calling. You know what a huge fan I am of you and TesseracT. You guys are perfection. I'll fly to the damn moon to see you live.
I had no idea who they were until I saw them open for gojira, became a huge fan immediately after
Jamison Reid I am so glad to hear. I went to see them 3 times open for Gojira and that's how I became a Gojira fan! They literally blew the roof off every venue. Loudest band I've ever seen. Holyyyy shit!
The man gets better every year, as impossible as that seems. Unbelievable, Dan. Just crazy good.
I don't know if I've already commented, but I don't care. This is so wholesome. "The Arrow" is like an earworm, I can't get it out out my head.
The ending of arrow always makes me tear up 🥺
I can't believe I will see Tesseract in São Paulo next month. I'm waiting for that day since 2011.
thank you guys for everything ☺
THEY'LL COME TO BRASIL !! 😍
*O covid estragou tudo... difícil viu
Alanis Camila I cant wait to see you! ;)
I feel you Camila, I'm still waiting for a dedicated full concert in Poland. I'm ready to pay almost any amounts :) seriously...my 6,5 year old daughter knows their songs by heart now (and she loves it).
I have already bought a ticket for see them in Colombia 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Can't wait!
Just realised that sounded creepy as ... we’re excited to play for you all!!
I'm totally obsessed with this band right now XD
TesseracT forever! in 2024!
The best. Cannot wait for your new album!
You know Dan means business when the denim jacket comes out. Great job man 😀😀😀
I can feel you getting closer
I can sense you start to smile
I see colossal eyes
Calm down, don't run again
I'll soothe you, I'm mechanical
Brave soldier, kill again (kill again)
Before we all expire
Think for yourself and be the renegade
Don't give in to him and his ugly ways
I can feel you getting closer
I can sense you start to smile
I see colossal eyes
There's a shadow on the sun
And no wonder why
Drain all the sick away
You've proven you are an animal
Watching me, you are a mannequin
Your form is menacing
This is another one of his ways
To control me
I can feel you getting closer
I can sense you start to smile
I see colossal eyes
There's a shadow on the sun
And no Wonder why

My favorite part of the last album are these two songs back to back
God-tier vocals. Absolutely unreal.
Those 2 unclean lines in Smile is my favorite part of the whole album. The placement and buildup make them so satisfying
Dan has the voice of an angel 😇
I absolutely loved you in that movie Jarhead. The sausages on the humvee bit was classic.
Hey Dan! I remember when you were doing these videos for Polaris you had Tourniquet in mind. Would you consider making a performance video for it this time around, please? It would be fantastic! Keep up the great work!
Hi Obie, once the Sonder sing throughs are finished, I will 100% be moving onto Polaris
@@TesseractOfficial YES!
I love how each band is it's own context. Each band that you work in is uniquely Dan but it own unique headspace and context! That's a talent all in itself!
fuck your awesome Dan!
The feeling Dan puts in his performance is so much beautiful
Holy shit is that really live ? There's no impurity, mistake whatsoever, you're awesome
I LOVE this so much...4:49 give me shivers every 'damn' time. The Arrow is such a great resolution to Smile. @Tesseract - you guys are absolutely in my top bands ever. Thank you!!!

You wasted so much damned time on it
You wasted half your damned life
Now watch it fall to damned pieces, pieces
It’s not about the love, I know
I count her on the one hand
Too many torn apart and thrown aside
In pieces, pieces
You wasted so much damned time on it
You wasted half your damned life
Now watch it fall to damned pieces, pieces
You wasted so much damned time on it
You wasted half your damn
Life
Amazing! Are we getting more of these live in the studio vocal performances? Keep up that great work!
They performed the Arrow/Smile on the War of Being tour, that shit was absolutely fucking amazing!! Dan is the best!

Love this band and love dan for twitching his way through the pandemic. Jay has been doing great work on twitch too
Am still waiting the performance of April song
Stunning mate!!!! Top 10 vox of all time!
I've just been turned on to this by UA-cam. This is fucking amazing!
I'm curious to know Daniels screaming technique. It sounds healthy and unobstructs the clean vocals
hes using fry screaming on top of pitched notes. so pitched frys
Pure fry
@@Xaybas not exactly but fry is part of it
@@irockmajorly lol yes exactly, it's fry no more no less
It just uses pure chest voice instead of falsetto is what you might be talking about but yeah, just fry
Thinking of you guys in Tesseract, stay safe! Prayers to Britain in this awful pandemic! Love from America!
My Son who is a guitarist who has his degree and masters in music technology and performance.
And he can sing a bit but he signed up to do vocal coaching with Dan.

Excelente ! Amo a TesseracT , me hice fanatico !!! Espero verlos en Buenos Aires el 20 de Septiembre !!!!!
Just got my ticket for the South America tour, can't wait!!
I can endlessly watch how Daniel sing live 😍
The amount of precision in his mixed voice is incredible u can see that laser focus in his eyes.

Unreal vocal control!
This control and focus
.. Dam!!
Killer Dan. CRAZY Vocal octave range. out of this world!!!!! Keep it up. Tesseract is the best!
You have impressed me with thy vocals. A true artist in control of his vocal instrument.
I've been listening to them for a long time now and Dan's voice is amazing live!!
I cant believe i'll see this legend live next month in São Paulo, im really very very happy
TesseracT never fails to amaze me.
This is gold. Very talented.
Wicked af!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
such an amazing band and a grea new singer. I was an OG fan but this new singer just has je ne sais quoi - perfect match
The Arrow hits me so damn hard
this is such a treat to watch and listen! As pure as it can be!
Brilliant!!!!!
So clean that it doesn't even make sense to me but damn it's so good

True charisma
Can't wait to see you in São Paulo, Dan! It's literally one of my dreams coming true. Thank you!
The delay beetween audio and screen is hurting me so much.. anw dan is really on point! As usuall
MEN!!! YOU HAVE AMAZING VOICE, AMAZING VOCAL OPPORTUNITIES AND SKILLS!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR JOB!!! BEST REGARDS
Sounds just like it did on the recordings. Killer performance Dan 10/10
Such a gorgeous human
Arrow.. Almost hits close to home....

This is so beautiful and impressive at the same time ! We need more of this 🤘🏻
I love you Dan, amazing voice
Dans voice is soooooooo on omg fucking perfect
Sweetness!
wow
I love Tesseract, but I can't hold myself to sing it this way xD
"Now watch it fall to damn pizzas, pizzas"
Yessss!
Beautiful
It just sounds right.
Sensational
Thank you guys!
Amazing to watch a true professional like Dan
Dan just goes super Saiyan and is like it ‘ain’t even my final form bro’.
Simply amazing! Please come to Costa Rica
Dan's screams are far monstrous and heavier than the one in Sonder. And, I thought he was really Yelling when he did the "Aaaaaaah!(3x)" part.
Fav songs on the album plus beneath my skin!
00:00 - Smile
04:46 - The Arrow
