Tesseract

National Album Day 2025 Crystal Clear Vinyl edition

Released in 2015, ‘Polaris’ marked a quiet shift for TesseracT - their third album, their first with Kscope & the return of original vocalist Daniel Tompkins. His presence brought focus. Instead of chasing scale, the band explored contrast: dense grooves set against clean vocals, sharp turns softened by space & melody. Tracks like “Tourniquet” & “Phoenix” ease into motion, while “Messenger” hits harder but with restraint. ‘Polaris’ builds tension not by force, but by control.

Where earlier work had often felt dense & confrontational, ‘Polaris’ moved differently. The band played with negative space, letting ideas breathe without softening their weight. Heaviness didn’t disappear - it found new shape. The result is measured but tense, detailed without feeling overworked. “Hexes” & “Seven Names” don’t rush; they take their time, leaning on tone & pacing instead of sheer technical display. Even at its most complex, ‘Polaris’ never feels crowded.

Since the release of ‘Polaris’ in 2015, TesseracT have solidified their position as a leading force in progressive metal. The album achieved notable chart success, hitting the US Billboard 200 & securing top 10 positions on various UK charts, including #9 on the Indie Albums & #7 on the Rock & Metal charts. Following this, the band embarked on extensive global tours, performing at major festivals such as Rock AM Ring, Download Festival & RADAR.

Their subsequent releases, including the critically acclaimed ‘Sonder’ in 2018 & ‘War Of Being’ in 2023, have been praised for their innovation & depth, with ‘War Of Being’ described as “the bravest & boldest record they have made to date.”

This 10th anniversary edition of ‘Polaris’ is pressed on clear vinyl with new half-speed remastered audio carried out at Abbey Road Studios.
