10th ANNIVERSARY CLEAR VINYL EDITION OF TESSERACTS LAUDED THIRD STUDIO ALBUM NEW AUDIO HALF-SPEED REMASTERED AT ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS
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.
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 didnt disappear it found new shape. The result is measured but tense, detailed without feeling overworked. Hexes & Seven Names dont 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.
