When you have experienced a piece like this played live in its entirety, you fully appreciate the majesty of it.
I saw Tesseract play in support of fellow prog-metallers Periphery a few years ago. I had barely heard any of their material (aside from the second part of Concealing Fate) and had not realized that this song, although split into 6 parts for listening convenience and compositional structure, was in fact one continuous song, comprised of different movements.
And they played it, with no breaks, live; I became an instant fan of the band.
Even at almost 30 minutes long, I urge you to listen to it all the way through to appreciate the recurring themes and completeness it has.
Tesseract released Concealing Fate as an EP in the run up to their stunning debut album One, and the song forms the centerpiece of the album.
I won't even begin to describe the music, just concentrate on the sonic atmosphere created when you listen to it.
This is a progressive metal masterpiece.
Concealing Fate
