British progressive metal band TesseracT have officially announced that Elliot Coleman had chosen to part ways with the band. The announcement comes just weeks after the release of the band's latest EP, Perspective.
A statement on the band's official website reads:
"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."
Coleman posted a video message to TesseracT's fans via his YouTube channel, which you can view below.
Coleman joined the band just last year, replacing departed vocalist Daniel Tompkins.
“Bruce goes, ‘Man, you’ve got a lot of twang.’ I said, ‘Too much?’ And he said, ‘Ah, you know…’” Joining Bruce Springsteen's post-E Street Band group, Shane Fontayne had the unenviable task of filling the shoes of Stevie Van Zandt and Nils Lofgren
“The guitar was in horrible shape. The paint job was all flaked off, it didn’t have the original tailpiece... at one point, the headstock snapped off”: He's a hitmaker who owned Eric Clapton's “The Fool” SG, produced Meat Loaf, and played with Ringo Starr
