Daniel Tompkins

Firstly, a big thank you to @trashhiephotographhie for helping to create this apt piece of art. Thank you for all your help and hard work, Alice. Secondly, thank you to @philweller_ for spending time with me discussing what the @prince.of.failure really represents. Thanks to @progmagazine for their continued support Myself and @chimpspanner are very happy with what we’ve written. It’s a highlight for sure! New single and album drop coming soon!

Super Exciting Debut Single🔥 One of my favourite vocalists in @rockwithdan of @tesseractband has teamed up with @chimpspanner to form a brand new project called @prince.of.failure with their debut single “Horizon” featuring @khopevox of @daedricofficial 🔥 Thoughts on the song? #metalmusic #metalhead #modernmetal #metal #heavymetal

Prince Of Failure (@prince.of.failure ) - the new self-titled, studio album from Daniel Tompkins (@rockwithdan )(TesseracT) and Paul Ortiz (@chimpspanner ) is set for release on Kscope on 19th June Their debut single ‘Horizon’ feat. @khopevox (Daedric) is out today with new video Musically, the album develops the atmosphere of Daniel Tompkins’ earlier solo work into darker, more reflective territory. Paul’s spacious arrangements, electronic textures and powerful guitar work sit alongside intimate, close-mic vocals, creating a strong sense of immediacy without sacrificing the dynamic scope associated with Tompkins’ progressive background and work with TesseracT. The decision to release the record under the name Prince of Failure reflects the collaborative identity of the project and separates it from Tompkins’ previous roles. It allows the work to exist on its own terms, without reference to past expectations. The Prince of Failure now stands as an official creative partnership between Tompkins and Ortiz, a shared vision with long-term intent. Prince of Failure will be released on limited cream vinyl LP, classic black vinyl LP, CD and digitally. Pre-order your copy from the link in the bio

The crown was never offered. It was waiting. I know what’s standing in the dark. And it knows my name.

It moves in the dark between thoughts. A shadow learning my shape… Calling me home.

I buried it deep. Beneath bone, beneath breath… But it still whispers.

#ThrowbackThursday – A man that needs no introduction. As soon as we discovered @rockwithdan , we were immediately taken by his extraordinary range, silky timbre, and the raw feeling he put into every performance. Not even a few days passed between him temporarily leaving @tesseractband and us instantly messaging him to collaborate. The good vibes were immediately there, but our path to actually getting him on A Dream In Static, for a long time, was uncertain. Unlike our other vocal songs on our first record, ADIS was a group composition, so we didn’t have any unified vision for the vocal parts—we figured we’d have Daniel write them, given the strength of his ideas in other projects. Unfortunately, his schedule filled up and he no longer had the time to compose for the song, so he wasn’t able to be our guy … or so it seemed. We put our heads together within Earthside to write some parts we figured Dan would sound good singing, in the hope we could win back our place in his calendar, and you all know what became of that 🙂 In the end we took so long with our debut album that Daniel was able to leave and return to TesseracT so we could credit him as such! To this day, Mr. Tompkins remains one of the closest friends and collaborators of the band and we look forward to the next project with him and possibly even sharing the stage at some point 😉 Looking back on this journey with Daniel makes us even more eager to bring our music to London at @229london on Friday, May 22. Tickets for this show are moving fast! Over 75% have already gone, so make sure you grab yours while you can.

Unfortunately, I've come down with an illness that's affecting my voice, and as you can imagine, the last thing I want is to deliver anything less than my best for you. The good news is you still have the chance to be a part of this! We're rescheduling to a new date that I'll confirm very soon. Save your spot. Link in bio.
