"Sadly, our good buddy Elliot has decided to leave team TesseracT.

"We'd like to thank Elliot for everything he has done for us. We have loved having him be a part of this beast. He introduced us to a completely different side of our sound, as well the delights of Pho! Things we will always be grateful for.

"So, as well as continuing to write and record album 2, we are also on the hunt for that special (shpecial) person to be the new full-time TesseracT vocalist."

A video statement from Elliot can be seen below.

TESSERACT Premieres "Dream Brother" (Jeff Buckley Cover) - Listen Now!

UK's TESSERACT has just made "Dream Brother" available as stream via Metal Hammer UK's website, so head over to check out this very special cover of the song:

http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/tesseract-exclusive-tesseract-dream-brother-premiere/

Amos Williams (bass): "We decided to cover 'Dream Brother' (originally by Jeff Buckley) for an acoustic session in New York. Myself and Acle spent ages looking at different tracks. I think we entertained 'Tear Drop' by Massive Attack, 'Thin Air' by Anathema, and many more. But 'Dream Brother' just fits TESSERACT very well. Plus it is one of our collective favourite tracks. It's always a risk working with a track that you love, but we feel we did it justice. It's a great showcase for the musicianship in TESSERACT, and the deep emotive power that Elliot has added to the band since he joined."

"Dream Brother" will be out on the 'Perspective' EP that is set for a North American release of May 22 and a European release of May 21. The five song digital only EP features "Eden 2.0", acoustic versions of three tracks ["Perfection (acoustic)", "April (acoustic)", "Origin (acoustic)"] from the band's debut album, 'One', plus the aforementioned cover of Jeff Buckley's classic, "Dream Brother".  As a bonus, iTunes will offer instrumentals of all the songs on the EP.

Recently, TESSERACT has just launched a drum playthrough for the track "Eden 2.0".  This is the second playthrough that the band has launched for their upcoming EP, Perspective, that will be out on May 22 (North America, May 21 Europe).  The video playthrough of drummer Jay Postones playing along with "Eden 2.0" can be seen here:
