about

The pioneers of an ever-evolving metal scene, TesseracT, released their fourth studio album entitled Sonder in April 2018, following 2015's worldwide acclaimed Polaris. Originally formed as a studio project by guitarist Acle Kahney, TesseracT are a band full of melody, dynamics and groove, they sit outside the bounds of any genre specificity to truly create a sound that has always been pioneering and creative; an unstoppable force of off-kilter riffs, soaring melodies and disorientating atmospherics.

Prior to Sonder, the band's vision quickly translated to success, with a collective 100,000 sales in North America alone. Polaris reached Billboard's #10 (Hard Rock) & #57 (Current Albums) charts and #9 in the UK (Indie Albums) and #7 (Rock and Metal), and have seen continued support from worldwide press.

Having found a new creative energy after reuniting with original singer Dan Tompkins, the band’s output changed in 2015 with the opus Polaris; an undoubted evolution from Altered State and features skilful experimentation with sounds and tones, plus a deeper exploration of the core attributes that define TesseracT’s trademark sound.
Press comments on Polaris:

"Polaris is, at last, the platonic ideal of a TesseracT album, the one where they get everything just right. It’s drama-bringing, supremely melodic and riff-heavy." Revolver Magazine

"keeps impressing with every release, going with different ideas and compositions while still keeping their identity” Outburn Magazine

"is best defined as a sum of the group's polished production smoothly colliding with an offensive onslaught of vocal and instrumentation virtuosity." Metal Injection

“start to finish, Polaris is affecting, captivating and bloody gorgeous” Metal Hammer 9/10

“‘Bold and brilliant. This might be their best album to date" Prog Magazine

“Killer third album of ultra-tech brit metallers” Kerrang 4/5

"A tapestry of delicate melodies and dreamlike textures" Total Guitar Magazine 4.5/5
