Info zum Video:
The emotive and viscerally challenging clip, was directed by Kyle Kadow & Steven Cleavland and shot in a snowy Wisconsin following a brutal storm, which all added to the atmospheric footage as bassist Amos Williams explains "We have been very lucky to work with two cinematographers of such vision and quality as Kyle and Steven. We gave them free reign with the creation of the first story board. They chose to explore the theme of claustrophobia and how fear can control our lives. Using a luminary figure as a beacon of hope and escape for the characters."

Lyricist and vocalist Daniel Tompkins expands on the song’s concept by saying “Far too often we find ourselves lead into conflict and inner turmoil. Life is surely a battle, history has a bad habit of repeating itself and when living with the constraints of an onerous life it’s easy to overlook the greatest gift we’ve ever received: life itself”.

Zum letzten Studioalbum "Polaris":

Ox 9/10: "... ganz große Melodien bei grandioser Produktion. Damit rücken TESSERACT ein ganzes Stück weit an Bands wie KING CRIMSON oder bisweilen PINK FLOYD heran und machen auch „Polaris“ zu einer Platte, die künftig als Referenzwerk wird gelten müssen."

Metal.de 9/10: "Ein Meisterstück"

Fuze – Top 5 Review: "Die Synthese von vertrackten Taktfolgen und eingängigen Melodien ist den Briten noch nie so gut gelungen wie auf ihrem neuen Album und in puncto Kreativität steckt die Scheibe den Großteil der Konkurrenz locker in die Tasche."

Metal Hammer 6/7: "POLARIS ist absolute (Welt)Klasse!"

Visions: "Und überhaupt sucht Polaris ein größeres Publikum, also auch den Steven Wilson und Porcupine Tree Hörer."

Laut.de 4/5: "Es sind nicht die technischen Fertigkeiten, die TesseracT so gut machen. Es ist ihre Präzision. Und ihr Gespür für Komposition."

Sonic Seducer: "Polaris ist wie ein Stück moderne Kunst: man muss es nicht unbedingt intellektuell begreifen, aber man kann instinktiv sagen: Schön!"

Orkus: "Geerdet und mit frischer Energie, vollbringen die Jungs ein Meisterwerk."

Powermetal.de 8,5/10: "…ein Album zum Wohlfühlen, ein Album, das von vorne bis hinten Sinn und Spaß macht."

eclipsed 8.5/10: "Jedes neue Tesseract-Album ist ein neu zu lösendes Puzzle, das nicht weniger als die totale Befreiung von allen Genrezwängen bedeutet."

Album Info:
Vocalist Daniel Tompkins: “Conceptually exploring a deep and devouring sense of insignificance, which ties into the overall theme and meaning behind 'Sonder'”. Also featured is an extended and re-worked version of last summer’s single “Smile”.

Sonder adds significant firepower to the band's arsenal, blending the harsh abrasiveness of One (2011) and progressive ethereal elements of Altered State (2013) with the accessibility of Polaris (2015). Sonder is streamlined, honest and direct with all the trademark TesseracT dreamy atmospherics and bending grooves. Sonder was recorded in the UK at 4D Sounds, Celestial Sounds and Project Studios, engineered by the band and Aiden O’Brien with mastering by Acle Kahney, and cover artwork designed by Amos Williams.

Sonder will be released on CD / 2CD – featuring binaural album bonus disc / black LP / Crystal Clear vinyl LP / picture disc (exclusive to the band’s webstores) and digitally (with digital album pre-order receiving “Luminary” as an instant download).

For audiophiles, TesseracT have produced a binaural version which will be available exclusively as part of the 2CD version, this version is a 360-listening experience designed by Klang: Fabrik for headphones listening Amos Williams explains more “the concept is to push past the restrictions of a stereo headphone mix and create an accurate ‘3D’ space in which positioning outside of the normal Left Right axis can occur. This is something that every artist that uses in ear monitors on stage wishes to recreate; the real and accurate positioning of instruments. We immediately felt that this technology could be applicable to us in the studio. TesseracT loves to bring what it does in the studio to the stage, but this time it’s experimenting with bringing a live element to the studio.”
