DANIEL TOMPKINS SCOUTED BY THE VOICE

Here's somewhat of an assuming story. The singing machine Daniel Tompkins (Skyharbor, In Colour, ex-Tesseract) was recently scouted by American TV talent show The Voice. He turned them down.

"Was recently scouted by The Voice to audition for the next series...I've had a bizarre few days! Unfortunately I don't feel it's for me right now but great to have been asked nonetheless!" - Daniel Tompkins

I must say American TV "talent shows" are a joke. But I do have some respect for The Voice over say... the gag-worthy American Idol or X-Factor. From my recollection, they have a generally talented panel (No Nick Minaj) and seek out at least some real talent. Whoda thunk?

THE ROOM COLORED CHARLATAN "NEXUS POINT" SINGLE (FEAT. DANIEL TOMPKINS)

The Room Colored Charlatan dropped their new single "Nexus Point" late last week. Getting new music from this band is awesome enough in itself. But what makes it even better is that the legend Daniel Tompkins (ex-Tesseract, Skyharbor, In Colour) makes a cameo on the track. This makes for a talented crossover of epic proportions. Amazing material.

Go ahead and give it a listen below along with a studio documentary and a full stream of the The Room Colored Charlatan debut, "Between Mirrors: The Quantum Immortality". If you enjoy the music, you can go ahead and buy all of the above from the official TRCC Bandcamp!

DANIEL TOMPKINS / DAN WELLER ANNOUNCE NEW BAND

It's not a metal band, but we like to support friends of metal regardless. Daniel is by far one of my personal favorite vocalists with his incredible work in Tesseract and Skyharbor. Dan Weller was the amazing guitarist from SikTh whose work has inspired many. Truely amazing work from both individuals. So for those of you who are interested in the careers of these men, I'd like to announce that they have officially joined forces in the band In Colour full time! The band has a very ethereal, quality sound. Check out some new music below. We wish In Colour the best of luck! Incredible talent, incredible music. And I gotta say, Daniel drives really damn well with his eyes closed.
