And again, after announcing that Scale The Summit, Dream Theater and Scar Symmetry are working on new material we know have the fourth band Tesseract. Generating the kind of following only seasoned acts could, the new record will be Tesseract’s third release. Returning for vocal duties will be One star Dan Tompkins following the departure of Ashe O’Hara on the critically acclaimed Altered State.

It will be interesting to see if Tompkins‘s approach might have changed, I personally found his vocals to be slightly raspy compared to O’Hara’s tasteful wails. Will it be a return to a more metal style? Will there be a different vocalist before the albums release? Only time will tell. It’s also worthy to note that Tesseract recorded their headline show in September with Animals As Leaders and are currently trimming the fat so perhaps we might see that released as a double disc with the album? Who knows! 2015 is looking very prog indeed though…
