TesseracT have released a video for their track Hexes, taken from fourth album Polaris.
The follow-up to 2013’s Altered States, featuring returned vocalist Dan Tompkins, was released in September last year.
Tompkins says: “Hexes represents a vivid dream and distant memory – one of holding onto the secrets between two people.
“To maintain the intimate and personal nature of the concept, we knew we needed a video director who didn’t simply understand the lyrics, but who could connect to the intensity of the music, and was willing to work closely together in creating the right visuals.”
The result is the collaboration with George Laycock of Blacktide, shot on several locations including the replica International Space Station module at Leicester’s National Space Centre.
Tompkins adds: “Without a doubt Hexes is the most cohesive and impactful video we have made to date, and we’re extremely proud of the end result.”
TesseracT release an extended edition of Polaris on September 16, tying in with their US tour with Gojira. That’s followed by a run of UK support shows with Devin Townsend Project in March – full dates below.
