Released in 2015, Polaris marked a quiet shift for TesseracT - their third album, their first with Kscope, and the return of original vocalist Daniel Tompkins. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the landmark album, Kscope will be releasing a limited National Album Day 2025 edition of Polaris on clear vinyl, with new audio which has been half-speed remastered at Abbey Road Studios.

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 and securing top 10 positions on various UK charts, including #9 on the Indie Albums and #7 on the Rock and Metal charts. Following this, the band embarked on extensive global tours, performing at major festivals such as Rock AM Ring, Download Festival, and headlining RADAR Festival


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