10th ANNIVERSARY CLEAR VINYL EDITION OF TESSERACT'S LAUDED THIRD
STUDIO ALBUM NEW AUDIO HALF-SPEED REMASTERED AT ABBEY ROAD
STUDIOSReleased 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.
"start to finish, Polaris is affecting, captivating & bloody gorgeous" 9/10 METAL
HAMMER
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.
"Polaris is pure confidence converted into sound" CLASSIC ROCK
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
