Kscope

Kscope is a London-based label specializing in the progressive genre of current music. Launched in 2008, it is a division of Snapper Music, one of the industry's most respected and influential independent labels.

With an impressive roster of talented artists, Kscope has become synonymous with innovative and boundary-pushing music. The label prides itself on discovering and nurturing unique talents who are pushing the boundaries of what is possible within their respective genres.

From *Steven Wilson* to *Anathema*, *TesseracT* to *The Pineapple Thief*, Kscope represents some of the most exciting and critically acclaimed acts in contemporary music. With a focus on quality over quantity, each release from Kscope is carefully curated to ensure that it meets the high standards set by the label.

May 2019 saw Tesseract's s lead vocalist and songwriter release his debut solo album Castles, his first foray into a more pop rock electronic sound.

Ruins sees Tompkins rework Castles. The lyrical and conceptual side still represents the same ideas as but with more aggression musically, showcasing a truer and darker tone. With the new version being so different to Castles, it is essentially a completely new album.

Ruins was created by producer and friend Eddie Head (Hajis Kitchen) &amp; also features guest artists and additional cocreators. Paul Ortiz (Chimpspanner) rewrote the music and acted as co-producer alongside Tompkins, and Plini plays guitar on opener Wounded Wings. First single The Gift features Trivium frontman and guitarist, Matt Heafy a friend of Tompkins. When Matt agreed to contribute to The Gift, Tompkins wrote the parts and Heafy recorded them from his home studio and live on Twitch.
